Mondelēz International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. For a complete set of consolidated financial statements and related notes, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Principles of Consolidation:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include Mondelēz International, Inc. as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, except our Venezuelan subsidiaries that were deconsolidated in 2015. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. The noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling investors' interests in the results of subsidiaries that we control and consolidate. We account for investments over which we exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Investments over which we do not have significant influence or control are not material and are carried at cost as there is no readily determinable fair value for the equity interests.
Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting:
We translate the results of operations of our subsidiaries from multiple currencies using average exchange rates during each period and translate balance sheet accounts using exchange rates at the end of each period. We record currency translation adjustments as a component of equity (except for highly inflationary currencies) and realized exchange gains and losses on transactions in earnings.
Highly inflationary accounting is triggered when a country’s three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeds 100%. It requires the remeasurement of financial statements of subsidiaries in the country from the functional currency of the subsidiary to our U.S. dollar reporting currency, with currency remeasurement gains or losses recorded in earnings. As discussed below, beginning on July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our operations in Argentina.
Argentina. During the second quarter of 2018, primarily based on published estimates that indicated that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate exceeded 100%, we concluded that Argentina became a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes. As of July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiaries and changed their functional currency from the Argentinian peso to the U.S. dollar. On July 1, 2018, both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Argentinian pesos were remeasured into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, with remeasurement and other transaction gains and losses recorded in net earnings. As of March 31, 2019, our Argentinian operations had $2 million of Argentinian peso denominated net monetary assets. Our Argentinian operations contributed $100 million, or 1.5%, of consolidated net revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded a $2 million remeasurement loss within selling, general and administrative expenses related to the revaluation of the Argentinian peso denominated net monetary assets during the quarter.
Brexit. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, we generated 9.3% of our consolidated net revenues in the United Kingdom. We continue to monitor the U.K. planned exit from the European Union ("Brexit"), the deadline for which has been extended through October 31, 2019. We continue to take protective measures in response to the potential impacts on our results of operations and financial condition. Following the Brexit vote in June 2016, there was significant volatility in the global stock markets and currency exchange rates. The value of the British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar declined significantly and negatively affected our translated results reported in U.S. dollars. If the ultimate terms of the United Kingdom’s separation from the European Union negatively impact the U.K. economy or result in disruptions to sales or our supply chain, the impact to our results of operations and financial condition could be material. We are taking measures to increase our resources in customer service & logistics together with increasing our inventory levels of imported raw materials, packaging and finished goods in the United Kingdom to help us manage through the Brexit transition and the inherent risks.
Other Countries. Since we sell our products in over 150 countries and have operations in over 80 countries, we monitor economic and currency-related risks and seek to take protective measures in response to these exposures. Some of the countries in which we do business have recently experienced periods of significant economic uncertainty and exchange rate volatility, including Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa and Pakistan. We continue to monitor operations, currencies and net monetary exposures in these countries. At this time, we do not anticipate that these countries are at risk of becoming highly inflationary countries.
Transfers of Financial Assets:
We account for transfers of financial assets, such as uncommitted revolving non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements, when we have surrendered control over the related assets. Determining whether control has transferred requires an evaluation of relevant legal considerations, an assessment of the nature and extent of our continuing involvement with the assets transferred and any other relevant considerations. We use receivable factoring arrangements periodically when circumstances are favorable to manage liquidity. We have non-recourse factoring arrangements in which we sell eligible trade receivables primarily to banks in exchange for cash. We may then continue to collect the receivables sold, acting solely as a collecting agent on behalf of the banks. The outstanding principal amount of receivables under these arrangements amounted to $808 million as of March 31, 2019 and $819 million as of December 31, 2018. The incremental cost of factoring receivables under this arrangement was not material for all periods presented. The proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Leases:
We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception. On January 1, 2019, we began to record operating leases on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We elected not to recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities for short-term operating leases with terms of 12 months or less. As of March 31, 2019, long-term operating lease ROU assets and long-term operating lease liabilities were presented separately and operating lease liabilities payable in the next twelve months were recorded in other current liabilities. Finance lease ROU assets continue to be presented in property, plant and equipment and the related finance lease liabilities continue to be presented in the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt.
Lease ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized at commencement date at the value of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepayments, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. The non-recurring fair value measurement is classified as Level 3 as no fair value inputs are observable. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable in most of our leases, we use our country-specific incremental borrowing rate based on the lease term using information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Many of our leases contain non-lease components (e.g. product costs, common-area or other maintenance costs) that relate to the lease components of the agreement. Non-lease components and the lease components to which they relate are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets.
Amortization of ROU lease assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the lease term with the expense recorded in cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses depending on the nature of the leased item. Interest expense is recorded over the lease term and is recorded in interest expense (based on a front-loaded interest expense pattern) for finance leases and is recorded in cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses (on a straight-line basis) for operating leases. All operating lease cash payments and interest on finance leases are recorded within cash flows from operating activities and all finance lease principal payments are recorded within cash flows from financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") that permits the use of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs for
internal-use software. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard may impact our disclosures and is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard may impact our disclosures and is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that requires entities to record share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees at fair value as of adoption date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In February 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that permits entities to elect a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 enactment of U.S. tax reform legislation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We did not elect to reclassify these stranded tax effects from U.S. tax reform when we adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2019. As such, this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Our policy is to release stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income under the portfolio method rather than on an individual item by item basis.
In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to better align hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management activities and improve disclosures surrounding hedging. For cash flow and net investment hedges as of the adoption date, the ASU requires a modified retrospective transition approach. Presentation and disclosure requirements related to this ASU are required prospectively. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted the standard as of January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Refer to Note 10, Financial Instruments, for additional information.
In July 2017, the FASB issued an ASU on financial instruments that allows for the exclusion of a down round feature when evaluating whether or not the instrument or embedded feature requires derivative classification. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019 and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. This ASU requires entities to measure the impairment of certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently assessing the guidance. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU on lease accounting to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU revises existing U.S. GAAP and outlines a new model for lessors and lessees to use in accounting for lease contracts. The guidance requires lessees to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. In the statement of earnings, lessees will classify leases as either operating or financing. In July 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that allows for an alternative transition approach, which does not require adjustments to comparative prior-period amounts. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019. We elected to apply the package of practical expedients that allowed us not to reassess the lease classification and initial direct costs for expired or existing leases or whether expired or existing contracts contain leases. We elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components and to account for both as a single lease component by class of the underlying asset.
The impact of adopting the standard included the initial recognition as of January 1, 2019, of $710 million of lease related assets and $730 million of lease related liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The transition method we elected for adoption requires a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, which was not material.
Reclassifications:
Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation. During the third quarter of 2018, in connection with the Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. transaction, we changed our accounting principle to reflect our share of Keurig Green Mountain Inc.’s historical results and Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.'s ongoing results on a one-quarter lag basis while we continue to record dividends when cash is received. This change was applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Refer to Note 7, Equity Method Investments, for more information.
Note 2. Divestitures and Acquisitions
On June 7, 2018, we acquired a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, within our North America segment for $528 million cash paid, net of cash received, and extended our premium biscuit offerings. We expect to finalize the purchase price paid and related purchase price allocation once working capital and other adjustments are finalized. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination. As of March 31, 2019, we recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation of $45 million to definite-lived intangible assets, $205 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $298 million to goodwill, $16 million to property, plant and equipment, $5 million to inventory, $9 million to accounts receivable, $6 million to current liabilities and $44 million to deferred tax liabilities. The acquisition added incremental net revenues of $20 million and incremental operating income of $2 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Note 5. Leases
We have operating and finance leases for manufacturing and distribution facilities, vehicles, equipment and office space. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 9 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 6 years. We assume the majority of our termination options will not be exercised when determining the lease term of our leases. We do not include significant restrictions or covenants in our lease agreements, and residual value guarantees are generally not included within our operating leases, with the exception of some fleet leases. Some of our leasing arrangements require variable payments that are dependent on usage or output or may vary for other reasons, such as product costs, insurance and tax payments. These variable payment leases are not included in our recorded lease assets and liabilities and are expensed as incurred. Certain leases are tied to a variable index or rate and are included in our lease assets and liabilities based on the indices or rates as of lease commencement.

Intangible assets, net | $ | 17,958 |
| | $ | 18,002 |
|
Non-amortizable intangible assets consist principally of brand names purchased through our acquisitions of Nabisco Holdings Corp., the Spanish and Portuguese operations of United Biscuits, the global LU biscuit business of Groupe Danone S.A. and Cadbury Limited. Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks, customer-related intangibles, process technology, licenses and non-compete agreements.
Amortization expense for intangible assets was $44 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $44 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. For the next five years, we currently estimate annual
amortization expense of approximately $175 million for the next two years and approximately $85 million in years three to five (reflecting March 31, 2019 exchange rates).
Changes in goodwill and intangible assets consisted of:

|
During our 2018 annual testing of non-amortizable intangible assets, we recorded $68 million of impairment charges in the third quarter of 2018 related to five trademarks. We recorded charges related to gum, chocolate, biscuits and candy trademarks of $45 million in Europe, $14 million in North America and $9 million in AMEA. We also identified seven brands, including the five impaired trademarks, with $537 million of aggregate book value as of March 31, 2019, that each had a fair value in excess of book value of 10% or less. We believe our current plans for each of these brands will allow them to continue to not be impaired, but if the product line expectations are not met or specific valuation factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change significantly, then a brand or brands could become impaired in the future.
Note 7. Equity Method Investments
Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $7,004 million as of March 31, 2019 and $7,123 million as of December 31, 2018. Our largest investments are in Jacobs Douwe Egberts (“JDE”) and Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NYSE: "KDP”).
JDE:
As of March 31, 2019, we held a 26.5% voting interest, a 26.4% ownership interest and a 26.2% profit and dividend sharing interest in JDE. We recorded JDE equity earnings of $50 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $46 million in the first quarter of 2018. We also recorded $73 million of cash dividends received during the first quarter of 2019 and $73 million of cash dividends received during the first quarter of 2018.
Keurig Dr Pepper Transaction:
On July 9, 2018, Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. ("Keurig") closed on its definitive merger agreement with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., and formed Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NYSE: "KDP"), a publicly traded company. Following the close of the transaction, our 24.2% investment in Keurig together with our shareholder loan receivable became a 13.8% investment in KDP. During 2018, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $778 million reported as a gain on equity method transaction and $192 million of deferred tax expense reported in the provision for income taxes (or $586 million after-tax gain) related to the change in our ownership interest.
We hold two director positions on the KDP board as well as additional governance rights. As we continue to have significant influence, we continue to account for our investment in KDP under the equity method, resulting in recognizing our share of their earnings within our earnings and our share of their dividends within our cash flows.
In connection with this transaction, we changed our accounting principle to reflect our share of Keurig's historical and KDP's ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis while we continue to record dividends when cash is received. We determined a lag was preferable as it enables us to continue to report our quarterly and annual results on a timely basis and to record our share of KDP’s ongoing results once KDP has publicly reported its results. This change in accounting principle was applied retrospectively to all periods. While our operating income did not change, equity method investment net earnings, net earnings and earnings per share have been adjusted to reflect the lag across all reported periods.
The following tables show the primary line items on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings that changed as a result of the lag. The condensed consolidated statements of cash flow and equity were also updated to reflect these changes.

As of March 31, 2019, we held a 13.6% ownership interest in KDP. Our ownership interest in KDP may change over time due to stock-based compensation arrangements and other transactions by KDP. During the first quarter, we recognized a $23 million pre-tax gain related to the impact of a KDP acquisition that decreased our ownership interest from 13.8% to 13.6%. As of March 31, 2019, based on KDP's closing stock price, the fair value of our ownership interest in KDP was $5.4 billion, which exceeded the carrying value of our KDP investment.
We recorded equity earnings and cash dividends of $37 million and $29 million in the first three months of 2019 and equity earnings, shareholder loan interest and cash dividends of $154 million, $6 million and $3 million in the first three months of 2018.
Note 8. Restructuring Program
On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $3.5 billion 2014-2018 restructuring program and up to $2.2 billion of capital expenditures. On August 31, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a $600 million reallocation between restructuring program cash costs and capital expenditures so the $5.7 billion program consisted of approximately $4.1 billion of restructuring program charges ($3.1 billion cash costs and $1.0 billion non-cash costs) and up to $1.6 billion of capital expenditures. On September 6, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the restructuring program through 2022, an increase of $1.3 billion in the program charges and an increase of $700 million in capital expenditures. The total $7.7 billion program now consists of $5.4 billion of program charges ($4.1 billion of cash costs and $1.3 billion of non-cash costs) and total capital expenditures of $2.3 billion to be incurred over the life of the program. The current restructuring program, as increased and extended by these actions, is now called the Simplify to Grow Program.
The primary objective of the Simplify to Grow Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. The program covers severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing and procurement-related one-time costs. Since inception, we have incurred total restructuring and related implementation charges of $4.0 billion related to the Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to incur the program charges by year-end 2022.

(1) | We adopted the new ASU on lease accounting as of January 1, 2019. The ASU revises the accounting for onerous leases such that any onerous lease liability should be netted with the right of use asset. Therefore, we reclassified $23 million onerous lease liability as of March 31, 2019 from accrued liabilities and other accrued liabilities to operating lease right of use assets. |
We recorded restructuring charges of $20 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $52 million in the first quarter of 2018 within asset impairment and exit costs. We spent $53 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $79 million in the first quarter of 2018 in cash severance and related costs. We also recognized non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other non-cash adjustments (including a one-time transfer of onerous lease liabilities to operating lease ROU assets) totaling $29 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $25 million in the first quarter of 2018. At March 31, 2019, $261 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $46 million was recorded within other long-term liabilities.
Implementation Costs:
Implementation costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. We believe the disclosure of implementation costs provides readers of our financial statements with more information on the total costs of our Simplify to Grow Program. Implementation costs primarily relate to reorganizing our operations and facilities in connection with our supply chain reinvention program and other identified productivity and cost saving initiatives. The costs include incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities, costs to terminate certain contracts and the simplification of our information systems. Within our continuing results of operations, we recorded implementation costs of $50 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $62 million in the first quarter of 2018. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.
Restructuring and Implementation Costs:
During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, and since inception of the Simplify to Grow Program, we recorded the following restructuring and implementation costs within segment operating income and earnings before income taxes:

Note 9. Debt and Borrowing Arrangements
Short-Term Borrowings:
Our short-term borrowings and related weighted-average interest rates consisted of:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of March 31, 2019 | | As of December 31, 2018 |
| Amount Outstanding | | Weighted- Average Rate | | Amount Outstanding | | Weighted- Average Rate |
| (in millions) | | | | (in millions) | | |
Commercial paper | $ | 3,532 |
| | 3.0 | % | | $ | 3,054 |
| | 2.9 | % |
Bank loans | 533 |
| | 6.5 | % | | 138 |
| | 10.5 | % |
Total short-term borrowings | $ | 4,065 |
| | | | $ | 3,192 |
| | |
As of March 31, 2019, commercial paper issued and outstanding had between 1 and 81 days remaining to maturity. Commercial paper borrowings increased since year end primarily as a result of issuances to finance the payment of long-term debt maturities, dividend payments and share repurchases during the year.
Some of our international subsidiaries maintain primarily uncommitted credit lines to meet short-term working capital needs. Collectively, these credit lines amounted to $1.7 billion at March 31, 2019 and $1.7 billion at December 31, 2018. Borrowings on these lines were $533 million at March 31, 2019 and $138 million at December 31, 2018.
Borrowing Arrangements:
On February 27, 2019, to supplement our commercial paper program, we entered into a $1.5 billion revolving credit agreement for a 364-day senior unsecured credit facility that is scheduled to expire on February 26, 2020. The agreement replaces our previous credit agreement that matured on February 27, 2019 and includes the same terms and conditions as our existing $4.5 billion multi-year credit facility discussed below. As of March 31, 2019, no amounts were drawn on the facility.
On February 27, 2019, we entered into a $4.5 billion multi-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs, and to support our commercial paper program. This agreement replaces our $4.5 billion amended and restated five-year revolving credit agreement, dated as of October 14, 2016. The revolving credit agreement is scheduled to expire on February 27, 2024. The revolving credit agreement includes a covenant that we maintain a minimum shareholders' equity of at least $24.6 billion, excluding accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses), the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles and earnings/(losses) recognized in connection with the ongoing application of any mark-to-market accounting for pensions and other retirement plans. At March 31, 2019, we complied with this covenant as our shareholders' equity, as defined by the covenant, was $36.3 billion. The revolving credit facility also contains customary representations, covenants and events to default. There are no credit rating triggers, provisions or other financial covenants that could require us to post collateral as security. As of March 31, 2019, no amounts were drawn on the facility.
Long-Term Debt:
On February 13, 2019, we issued $600 million of 3.625% U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate notes that are scheduled to mature February 13, 2026. We received net proceeds of $595 million that were used to repay outstanding commercial paper borrowings and other debt. We recorded approximately $5 million of discounts and deferred financing costs, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes.
On February 1, 2019, $400 million of our U.S. dollar variable rate notes matured. The notes and accrued interest to date were paid with the issuance of commercial paper and cash on hand.
Our weighted-average interest rate on our total debt was 2.4% as of March 31, 2019, 2.3% as of December 31, 2018 and 2.1% as of December 31, 2017.
Fair Value of Our Debt:
The fair value of our short-term borrowings at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 reflects current market interest rates and approximates the amounts we have recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our long-term debt was determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 valuation data) for the publicly traded debt obligations. At March 31, 2019, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $19,944 million and its carrying value was $19,420 million. At December 31, 2018, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $18,650 million and its carrying value was $18,372 million.
Interest and Other Expense, net:
Interest and other expense, net consisted of:

Derivatives designated as accounting hedges include cash flow and net investment hedge derivative contracts. Our economic hedges are derivatives not designated as accounting hedges. We record derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our asset derivatives is recorded within other current assets and the fair value of our liability derivatives is recorded within other current liabilities.

Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of exchange-traded commodity futures and listed options. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on quoted market prices on commodity exchanges.
Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of over-the-counter (“OTC”) currency exchange forwards, options and swaps; commodity forwards and options; and interest rate swaps. Our currency exchange contracts are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Our calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the observable market interest rate curve. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk. Our OTC derivative transactions are governed by International Swap Dealers Association agreements and other standard industry contracts. Under these agreements, we do not post nor require collateral from our counterparties. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with these and all our derivatives by entering into transactions with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.

We recognized a gain of $14 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 in interest and other expense, net related to certain forward-starting interest rate swaps for which the planned timing of the related forecasted debt was changed.
We record pre-tax (i) gains or losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) into earnings, (ii) gains or losses on ineffectiveness and (iii) gains or losses on amounts excluded from effectiveness testing in:
| |
• | cost of sales for currency exchange contracts related to forecasted transactions; |
| |
• | cost of sales for commodity contracts; and |
| |
• | interest and other expense, net for interest rate contracts and currency exchange contracts related to intercompany loans. |
Based on current market conditions, we would expect to transfer losses of $61 million (net of taxes) for interest rate cash flow hedges to earnings during the next 12 months.
Cash Flow Hedge Coverage:
As of March 31, 2019, our longest dated cash flow hedges were interest rate swaps that hedge forecasted interest rate payments over the next 4 years and 7 months.
Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations:
Net investment hedge derivative contracts:
We enter into cross-currency interest rate swaps and forwards to hedge certain investments in our non-U.S. operations against movements in exchange rates. The aggregate notional value as of March 31, 2019 was $6.7 billion. The after-tax gain/(loss) on these net investment hedge contracts was recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income and was $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $(11) million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. There were no after-tax gains/(losses) on net investment hedge contracts that settled during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018. There were no after-tax gains/(losses) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) into net earnings in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018. We elected to record changes in the fair value of amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness in net earnings. Amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness were $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and were recorded as income in interest and other expense, net. The cash flows from these contracts are reported as other investing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Non-U.S. dollar debt designated as net investment hedges:
After-tax gains/(losses) related to hedges of net investments in international operations in the form of euro, British pound sterling, Swiss franc and Canadian dollar-denominated debt were recorded within the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income and were: |

Employer Contributions:
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we contributed $1 million to our U.S. pension plans and $68 million to our non-U.S. pension plans, including $38 million to plans in the United Kingdom and Ireland. We make contributions to our pension plans in accordance with local funding arrangements and statutory minimum funding requirements. Discretionary contributions are made to the extent that they are tax deductible and do not generate an excise tax liability.
As of March 31, 2019, over the remainder of 2019, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $4 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $164 million to our non-U.S. plans. Our actual contributions may be different due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates.
Multiemployer Pension Plans:
The most individually significant multiemployer plan we participated in prior to the second quarter of 2018 was the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund (the "Fund"). Our obligation to contribute to the Fund arose with respect to 8 collective bargaining agreements covering most of our employees represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers Union. All of those collective bargaining agreements expired in 2016 and we continued to contribute to the Fund through 2018.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, we executed a complete withdrawal from the Fund. We estimated a withdrawal liability of $573 million, which represents our best estimate of the withdrawal liability absent an assessment from the Fund. We anticipate receiving an assessment in 2019, and the ultimate withdrawal liability may change from the currently estimated amount. We will record any future adjustments in the period during which the liability is confirmed or as new information becomes available. We expect to pay the liability over a period of 20 years from the date of the assessment. During the third and fourth quarters of 2018, within our North America segment, we recorded a discounted long-term liability and related charges including accreted interest of $429 million or $321 million net of tax.

Share Repurchase Program:
Between 2013 and 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of a total of $13.7 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2018. On January 31, 2018, our Finance Committee, with authorization delegated from our Board of Directors, approved an increase of $6.0 billion in the share repurchase program, raising the authorization to $19.7 billion of Common Stock repurchases, and extended the program through December 31, 2020. Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary. Prior to January 1, 2019, we had repurchased $15.0 billion of Common Stock pursuant to this authorization. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased approximately 15 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $44.21 per share, or an aggregate cost of approximately $0.7 billion, all of which was paid during the period except for approximately $20 million settled in April 2019. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of March 31, 2019, we have $4.0 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings:
We routinely are involved in legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections or investigations (“Legal Matters”) arising in the ordinary course of our business.
In February 2013 and March 2014, Cadbury India Limited (now known as Mondelez India Foods Private Limited), a subsidiary of Mondelēz International, and other parties received show cause notices from the Indian Central Excise Authority (the “Excise Authority”) calling upon the parties to demonstrate why the Excise Authority should not collect a total of 3.7 billion Indian rupees ($54 million as of March 31, 2019) of unpaid excise tax and an equivalent amount of penalties, as well as interest, related to production at the same Indian facility. We contested these demands for unpaid excise taxes, penalties and interest. On March 27, 2015, after several hearings, the Commissioner of the Excise Authority issued an order denying the excise exemption that we claimed for the Indian facility and confirming the Excise Authority’s demands for total taxes and penalties in the amount of 5.8 billion Indian rupees ($84 million as of March 31, 2019) plus accrued interest. We have appealed this order. In addition, the Excise Authority issued additional show cause notices in February 2015, December 2015 and October 2017 on the same issue but covering the periods January to October 2014, November 2014 to September 2015 and October 2015 to June 2017, respectively. These notices added a total of 4.9 billion Indian rupees ($71 million as of March 31, 2019) of allegedly unpaid excise taxes subject to penalties up to an equivalent amount plus accrued interest. Interest will continue to
accrue until the matters are resolved. With the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax in India in July 2017, we will not receive any further show cause notices for additional amounts on this issue. We believe that the decision to claim the excise tax benefit is valid and we are continuing to contest the show cause notices through the administrative and judicial process. As part of a continuing appeals process, we may be required to deposit an amount up to the equivalent of the total demand for unpaid excise taxes under the five show cause notices, which will be repaid if the proceedings conclude in our favor. We do not expect to be required to make any such deposit before 2020.
On April 1, 2015, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") filed a complaint against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global LLC (“Mondelēz Global”) in the U.S. District Court (the "Court") for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “CFTC action”) following its investigation of activities related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts that occurred prior to the spin-off of Kraft Foods Group. The complaint alleges that Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global (1) manipulated or attempted to manipulate the wheat markets during the fall of 2011; (2) violated position limit levels for wheat futures and (3) engaged in non-competitive trades by trading both sides of exchange-for-physical Chicago Board of Trade wheat contracts. The CFTC seeks civil monetary penalties of either triple the monetary gain for each violation of the Commodity Exchange Act (the “Act”) or $1 million for each violation of Section 6(c)(1), 6(c)(3) or 9(a)(2) of the Act and $140,000 for each additional violation of the Act, plus post-judgment interest; an order of permanent injunction prohibiting Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global from violating specified provisions of the Act; disgorgement of profits; and costs and fees. The parties have reached an agreement in principle to resolve the CFTC action and have been instructed by the Court to submit a proposed consent order reflecting their agreement prior to the next court date on May 28, 2019. Additionally, several class action complaints were filed against Kraft Foods Group and Mondelēz Global in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by investors in wheat futures and options on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated. The complaints make similar allegations as those made in the CFTC action and seek class action certification; an unspecified amount for damages, interest and unjust enrichment; costs and fees; and injunctive, declaratory and other unspecified relief. In June 2015, these suits were consolidated in the Northern District of Illinois. We are contesting the plaintiffs' request for class certification. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters; however, based on our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Kraft Foods Group dated as of September 27, 2012, we expect to bear any monetary penalties or other payments in connection with the CFTC action. Although the CFTC action and the class action complaints involve the same alleged conduct, a resolution or decision with respect to one of the matters may not be dispositive as to the outcome of the other matter.
On August 21, 2018, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (“VDEQ”) issued a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) to Mondelēz Global. In the NOV, the VDEQ alleges that in our Richmond bakery, one operating line did not have the proper minimum temperature on its pollution control equipment and that the bakery failed to provide certain observation and training records. The VDEQ indicated that the alleged violations may lead to a fine and/or injunctive relief. We are working with the VDEQ to reach a resolution of this matter, and we do not expect this matter to have a material effect on our financial results.
We are a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business, including those noted above in this section. We record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For matters that are reasonably possible to result in an unfavorable outcome, management is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss or such amounts have been determined to be immaterial. At present we believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, legal proceedings and government investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial position.
Third-Party Guarantees:
We enter into third-party guarantees primarily to cover long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of these transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. At March 31, 2019, we had no material third-party guarantees recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Tax Matters:
We are a party to various tax matter proceedings incidental to our business. These proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could subject us to additional tax liabilities and could materially adversely impact our business, results of operations or financial position.

Note 15. Income Taxes
As of the first quarter of 2019, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excludes discrete tax impacts, was 25.9%. This reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws and our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (which are reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes), partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of 19.4% was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $63 million, primarily driven by $60 million of benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions.
As of the first quarter of 2018, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excluded discrete tax impacts, was 22.5%. This reflected our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (which are reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes), partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of 29.1% was unfavorably impacted by net discrete tax expense of $73 million, primarily driven by $94 million of additional transition tax liability recognized as an adjustment to the prior provisional estimate, partially offset by an $18 million benefit from Argentinean refund claim.
Note 16. Earnings per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were calculated as follows:

We exclude antidilutive Mondelēz International stock options from our calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS. We excluded antidilutive stock options of 6.2 million in the first three months of 2019 and 7.1 million in the first three months of 2018.
Note 17. Segment Reporting
We manufacture and market primarily snack food products, including biscuits (cookies, crackers and salted snacks), chocolate, gum & candy and various cheese & grocery products, as well as powdered beverage products.
We manage our global business and report operating results through geographic units. We manage our operations by region to leverage regional operating scale, manage different and changing business environments more effectively and pursue growth opportunities as they arise across our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions.
Our operations and management structure are organized into four operating segments:
• Latin America
• AMEA
• Europe
• North America
We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) and amortization of intangibles in all periods presented. We exclude these items from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Furthermore, we centrally manage benefit plan non-service income and interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Description of the Company
We make and sell primarily snacks, including biscuits (cookies, crackers and salted snacks), chocolate, gum & candy as well as various cheese & grocery and powdered beverage products. We have operations in more than 80 countries and sell our products in over 150 countries.
We aim to be the global leader in snacking. Our strategy is to drive long-term growth by focusing on three strategic priorities: accelerating consumer-centric growth, driving operational excellence and creating a winning growth culture. We believe the successful implementation of our strategic priorities and our leveraging our strong foundation of iconic global and local brands, an attractive global footprint, and deep innovation, marketing and distribution capabilities will drive top- and bottom-line growth, enabling us to continue to create long-term value for our shareholders.
Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability
Adoption of New Lease Accounting Standard
As further described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, we adopted the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019. The impact of adopting the standard included the initial recognition as of January 1, 2019, of $710 million of lease related assets and $730 million of lease related liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The transition method we elected for adoption requires a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, which was not material.
Keurig Dr Pepper Transaction
On July 9, 2018, Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. ("Keurig") closed on its definitive merger agreement with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., and formed Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NYSE: "KDP"), a publicly traded company. Following the close of the transaction, our 24.2% investment in Keurig together with our shareholder loan receivable became a 13.8% investment in KDP. During the fourth quarter of 2018, KDP finalized its opening balance sheet and we recorded a preliminary pre-tax gain of $778 million reported as a gain on equity method transaction and $192 million of deferred tax expense reported in the provision for income taxes (or $586 million after-tax gain) related to the change in our ownership interest. Also, during the first quarter of 2019, we recognized a $23 million pre-tax gain related to the impact of a KDP acquisition that decreased our ownership interest from 13.8% to 13.6%. In connection with the KDP transaction, we changed our accounting principle to reflect our share of Keurig's historical and KDP's ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis while we continue to record dividends when cash is received. We determined a lag was preferable as it enables us to continue to report our quarterly and annual results on a timely basis and to record our share of KDP’s ongoing results once KDP has publicly reported its results. This change in accounting principle was applied retrospectively to all periods. While our operating income did not change, equity method investment net earnings, net earnings and earnings per share have been adjusted to reflect the lag across all reported periods. Refer to Note 7, Equity Method Investments, for additional information.
U.S. Tax Reform
On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation that included a broad range of business tax provisions, including but not limited to a reduction in the U.S. federal tax rate from 35% to 21% as well as provisions that limit or eliminate various deductions or credits. The legislation causes U.S. allocated expenses (e.g. interest and general administrative expenses) to be taxed and imposes a new tax on U.S. cross-border payments. Furthermore, the legislation includes a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and profits. While clarifying guidance was issued by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") during 2018, further tax legislative guidance is expected during 2019.
Our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2019 is 25.9%, which includes the new provisions of the legislation but excludes discrete tax items such as the impacts of expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements. Refer to Note 15, Income Taxes, for more information on our current year estimated annual effective tax rate and to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for more information on the impact of U.S. tax reform.
Multiemployer Pension Plan Withdrawal
The most individually significant multiemployer plan we participated in prior to the second quarter of 2018 was the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund (the "Fund"). Our obligation to contribute to the Fund arose with respect to 8 collective bargaining agreements covering most of our employees represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers Union. All of those collective bargaining agreements expired in 2016 and we continued to contribute to the Fund through 2018.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, we executed a complete withdrawal from the Fund. We estimated a withdrawal liability of $573 million, which represents our best estimate of the withdrawal liability absent an assessment from the Fund. We anticipate receiving an assessment in 2019, and the ultimate withdrawal liability may change from the currently estimated amount. We will record any future adjustments in the period during which the liability is confirmed or as new information becomes available. We expect to pay the liability over a period of 20 years from the date of the assessment. During the third and fourth quarters of 2018, within our North America segment, we recorded a discounted long-term liability and related charges including accreted interest of $429 million or $321 million net of tax.
Summary of Results
| |
• | Net revenues decreased 3.4% to $6.5 billion in the first three months of 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year. During the first three months of 2019, net revenues were negatively affected by unfavorable currency translation as the U.S. dollar strengthened against several currencies in which we operate compared to exchange rates in the prior year. This unfavorable item was partially offset by the impact of higher net pricing and favorable volume/mix as well as the impact of our June 7, 2018 acquisition of a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop. |
| |
• | Organic Net Revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 3.7% to $7.0 billion in the first three months of 2019 as compared to same period in the prior year. For the first three months of 2019, Organic Net Revenue grew due to higher net pricing and favorable volume/mix. Refer to our Discussion and Analysis of Historical Results, including the Results of Operations by Reportable Segment for additional information. Organic Net Revenue is on a constant currency basis and excludes revenue from acquisitions and divestitures. We use Organic Net Revenue as it provides improved year-over-year comparability of our underlying operating results (see the definition of Organic Net Revenue and our reconciliation with net revenues within Non-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section). |

• | Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International decreased 10.0% to $0.63 in the first three months of 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The diluted EPS decrease during the first three months of 2019 was primarily driven by unfavorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives and unfavorable currency translation, partially offset by lapping prior-year U.S. tax reform discrete net tax expense, lower Simplify to Grow program costs, operating gains, lower shares outstanding and lower taxes. |
| |
• | Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 3.2% to $0.65 in the first three months of 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EPS increased 12.7% to $0.71 in the first three months of 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year. For the first three months of 2019, operating gains, lower shares outstanding, lower taxes and lower interest drove the growth. Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis are non-GAAP financial measures. We use these measures as they provide improved year-over-year comparability of our underlying results (see the definition of Adjusted EPS and our reconciliation with diluted EPS within Non-GAAP Financial Measures appearing later in this section). |
Financial Outlook
We seek to achieve profitable, long-term growth and manage our business to attain this goal using our key operating metrics: Organic Net Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS. We use these non-GAAP financial metrics and related computations, such as margins, internally to evaluate and manage our business and to plan and make near- and long-term operating and strategic decisions. As such, we believe these metrics are useful to investors as they provide supplemental information in addition to our U.S. GAAP financial results. We believe providing investors with the same financial information that we use internally ensures that investors have the same data to make comparisons of our historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and gain additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. We believe our non-GAAP financial measures should always be considered in relation to our GAAP results, and we provided reconciliations between our GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in Non-GAAP Financial Measures, which appears later in this section.
In addition to monitoring our key operating metrics, we monitor developments and trends that could impact our revenue and profitability objectives, similar to those we highlighted in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and discussed in our footnotes to our financial statements.
| |
• | Market conditions. Snack categories continued to grow in the first quarter of 2019. Volatility in the global currency and commodity markets also continued. |
| |
• | Brexit. We continue to monitor the U.K. planned exit from the European Union (Brexit), the deadline for which has been extended through October 31, 2019. We continue to take protective measures in response to the potential impacts on our results of operations and financial condition. Our exposure to disruptions to our supply chain, the imposition of tariffs and currency devaluation in the United Kingdom could result in a material impact to our consolidated revenue, earnings and cash flow. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, we generated 9.3% of our consolidated net revenues in the United Kingdom, and our supply chain in this market relies on imports of raw and packaging materials as well as finished goods. Following the Brexit vote in June 2016, there was significant volatility in the global stock markets and currency exchange rates. The value of the British pound sterling relative to the U.S. dollar declined significantly and negatively affected our translated results reported in U.S. dollars. The volatility in foreign currencies and other markets is expected to continue as the United Kingdom executes its exit from the European Union. If the U.K.'s membership in the European Union terminates without an agreement, there could be increased costs from re-imposition of tariffs on trade between the United Kingdom and European Union, shipping delays because of the need for customs inspections and procedures and shortages of certain goods. The United Kingdom will also need to negotiate its own tax and trade treaties with countries all over the world, which could take years to complete. If the ultimate terms of the U.K.’s separation from the European Union negatively impact the U.K. economy or result in disruptions to sales or our supply chain, the impact to our results of operations and financial condition could be material. We have taken measures to increase our resources in customer service & logistics together with increasing our inventory levels of imported raw materials, packaging and finished goods in the United Kingdom to help us manage through the Brexit transition and the inherent risks. Resulting impacts and market volatility can vary significantly depending on the final terms of the U.K.’s exit agreement from the European Union. |
| |
• | Argentina. As further discussed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation – Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting, on July 1, 2018, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2019, we recorded a $2 million remeasurement loss in net earnings related to the revaluation of our Argentinian peso denominated net monetary assets. The mix of monetary assets and liabilities and the exchange rate to convert Argentinian pesos to U.S. dollars could change over time, so it is difficult to predict the overall impact of the Argentina highly inflationary accounting on future net earnings. |
| |
• | Collective bargaining agreements. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we executed a complete withdrawal from the Fund. We estimated a withdrawal liability of $573 million, which represents our best estimate of the withdrawal liability absent an assessment from the Fund. We anticipate receiving an assessment in 2019, and the ultimate withdrawal liability may change from the currently estimated amount. We will record any future adjustments in the period during which the liability is confirmed or as new information becomes available. We expect to pay the liability over a period of 20 years from the date of assessment. During the third and fourth quarters of 2018, within our North America segment, we recorded a discounted long-term liability and related charges including accreted interest of $429 million or $321 million net of tax. |
| |
• | U.S. tax reform. While the 2017 U.S. tax reform reduced the U.S. corporate tax rate and included some beneficial provisions, other provisions have, and in the future will have, an adverse effect on our results. We continue to evaluate the impacts as additional guidance on implementing the legislation becomes available. |

Net revenue decrease of 3.4% was driven by unfavorable currency, partially offset by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 3.7% and the impact of an acquisition. Unfavorable currency impacts decreased net revenues by $498 million, due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies, including the euro, Argentinian peso, Brazilian real, British sterling pound, Indian rupee and Russian ruble. Our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by higher net pricing and favorable volume/mix. Net pricing was up, which includes the benefit of carryover pricing from 2018 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first three months of 2019. Higher net pricing was reflected in Latin America, North America and AMEA, while net pricing in Europe was flat. Favorable volume/mix was reflected in AMEA and Europe, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in North America and Latin America. The June 7, 2018 acquisition of a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, added net revenues of $20 million in the first three months of 2019. Refer to Note 2, Divestitures and Acquisitions, for additional information.
Operating Income – Operating income decreased $188 million (15.4%) to $1,036 million in the first three months of 2019, Adjusted Operating Income (1) decreased $39 million (3.4%) to $1,094 million and Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis (1) increased $48 million (4.2%) to $1,181 million due to the following:

During the first three months of 2019, we realized higher net pricing, which was partially offset by increased input costs. Higher net pricing, which included the carryover impact of pricing actions taken in 2018 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first three months of 2019, was reflected in Latin America, North America and AMEA, while net pricing in Europe was flat. The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs due to productivity efforts. Higher raw material costs were in part due to higher currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, as well as higher packaging, energy, dairy, grains and oils costs, partially offset by lower sugar and cocoa costs. Favorable volume/mix was driven by AMEA and Europe, which was partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix in North America and Latin America.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $34 million from the first three months of 2018, due to a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, favorable currency impact and lower implementation costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow Program. These decreases were partially offset by the lapping of a benefit from a prior-year value-added tax (“VAT”) related settlement, a VAT cost settlement in 2019 and remeasurement of net monetary position in Argentina. Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $39 million from the first three months of 2018. The increase was driven primarily by higher advertising and consumer promotion costs.
We recorded an expense of $9 million from a VAT-related settlement in Latin America in the first three months of 2019 and a benefit of $21 million from a VAT-related settlement in Latin America in the first three months of 2018. Favorable currency changes decreased operating income by $87 million due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies, including the euro, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Argentinian peso, Indian rupee and Australian dollar.
Operating income margin decreased from 18.1% in the first three months of 2018 to 15.8% in the first three months of 2019. The decrease in operating income margin was driven primarily by the unfavorable change in mark-to-market gains/(losses) from currency and commodity hedging activities, partially offset by lower Simplify to Grow Program costs. Adjusted Operating Income margin for first three months of 2019 was flat to the first three months of 2018 at 16.7%. Adjusted Operating Income margin was unchanged as higher pricing and lower manufacturing costs were offset by higher raw material costs and higher advertising and consumer promotion costs.
Net Earnings and Earnings per Share Attributable to Mondelēz International – Net earnings attributable to Mondelēz International of $914 million decreased by $132 million (12.6%) in the first three months of 2019. Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International was $0.63 in the first three months of 2019, down $0.07 (10.0%) from the first three months of 2018. Adjusted EPS (1) was $0.65 in the first three months of 2019, up $0.02 (3.2%) from the first three months of 2018. Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis (1) was $0.71 in the first three months of 2019, up $0.08 (12.7%) from the first three months of 2018.

Results of Operations by Reportable Segment
Our operations and management structure are organized into four operating segments:
We manage our operations by region to leverage regional operating scale, manage different and changing business environments more effectively and pursue growth opportunities as they arise across our key markets. Our regional management teams have responsibility for the business, product categories and financial results in the regions.
We use segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. See Note 17, Segment Reporting, for additional information on our segments and Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results earlier in this section for items affecting our segment operating results.

Three Months Ended March 31:
Net revenues decreased $91 million (10.2%), due to unfavorable currency (18.6 pp) and unfavorable volume/mix (1.5 pp), partially offset by higher net pricing (9.9 pp). Unfavorable currency impacts were due primarily to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies in the region including the Argentinian peso, Brazilian real and Mexican peso. Unfavorable volume/mix was due to the impact of pricing-related elasticity. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by declines in refreshment beverages, candy, gum and cheese, partially offset by gains in chocolate and biscuits. Higher net pricing was reflected across all categories, driven primarily by Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.
Segment operating income decreased $28 million (22.2%), primarily due to higher raw material costs, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses (including lapping the benefit from a VAT-related settlement in 2018 and the expense of a VAT-related settlement in 2019), unfavorable currency, unfavorable volume/mix and higher advertising and consumer promotion costs. These unfavorable items were partially offset by higher net pricing, lower costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow Program and lower manufacturing costs.

Favorable volume/mix was driven by gains across all categories except gum. Net pricing was flat as higher net pricing in gum, candy and cheese was offset by lower net pricing in biscuits and refreshment beverages.
Segment operating income increased $3 million (0.6%), primarily due to favorable volume/mix, lower raw material costs, lower costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow Program, lower manufacturing costs and lower other selling, general and administrative expenses.

Higher net pricing was reflected in biscuits, gum and chocolate, partially offset by lower net pricing in candy. The June 7, 2018 acquisition of a U.S. premium biscuit company, Tate’s Bake Shop, added net revenues of $20 million in the first three months of 2019. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by candy, gum and biscuits, partially offset by gains in chocolate. Unfavorable currency impact was due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.
Segment operating income increased $44 million (16.0%), primarily due to higher net pricing and lower costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow Program. These favorable items were partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that cash from operations, our revolving credit facilities and our authorized long-term financing will provide sufficient liquidity for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, future contractual obligations, share repurchases, transition tax liability on our historical accumulated foreign earnings due to the U.S. tax reform and payment of our anticipated quarterly dividends. We continue to utilize our commercial paper program, international credit lines and long-term debt issuances for our funding requirements. We also use intercompany loans with our international subsidiaries to improve financial flexibility. Overall, we do not expect any negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:
Net cash provided by operating activities was $465 million in the first three months of 2019 and $407 million in the first three months of 2018. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to improved working capital trends and lower pension contributions.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities:
Net cash used in investing activities was $223 million in the first three months of 2019 and $274 million in the first three months of 2018. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities compared to the first three months of 2018 primarily relates to increased cash received as a result of the settlement and replacement of several net investment hedge derivative contracts and lower capital expenditures. We continue to make capital expenditures primarily to modernize manufacturing facilities and support new product and productivity initiatives. We expect 2019 capital expenditures to be up to $1.0 billion, including capital expenditures in connection with our Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to continue to fund these expenditures from operations.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities:
Net cash provided by financing activities was $201 million in the first three months of 2019 and $229 million in the first three months of 2018. The small decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to higher net debt issuances in the first three months of 2019 being offset by higher share repurchases and dividends paid.
Debt:
From time to time we refinance long-term and short-term debt. Refer to Note 9, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, for details of our debt activity during the first three months of 2019. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt and the proportionate amount of each varies as a result of current and expected business requirements, market conditions and other factors. Due to seasonality, in the first and second quarters of the year, our working capital requirements grow, increasing the need for short-term financing. The second half of the year typically generates higher cash flows. As such, we may issue commercial paper or secure other forms of financing throughout the year to meet short-term working capital needs.
During 2016, one of our subsidiaries, Mondelez International Holdings Netherlands B.V. (“MIHN”), issued debt totaling $4.5 billion. The operations held by MIHN generated approximately 75.4% (or $4.9 billion) of the $6.5 billion of consolidated net revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The operations held by MIHN represented approximately 83.0% (or $21.5 billion) of the $25.9 billion of net assets as of March 31, 2019 and 80.5% (or $20.7 billion) of the $25.7 billion of net assets as of December 31, 2018.
On February 1, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a new $5.0 billion long-term financing authority to replace the prior authority. As of March 31, 2019, we had $4.4 billion of long-term financing authority remaining.
In the next 12 months, we expect approximately $2.3 billion of long-term debt will mature in October 2019. We expect to fund these repayments with a combination of cash from operations and long-term debt.
Our total debt was $19.4 billion at March 31, 2019 and $18.4 billion at December 31, 2018. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.43 at March 31, 2019 and 0.42 at December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019, the weighted-average term of our outstanding long-term debt was 5.7 years. Our average daily commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $4.1 billion in the first three months of 2019 and $4.7 billion in the first three months of 2018. We had commercial paper outstanding totaling $3.5 billion as of March 31, 2019 and $3.1 billion as of December 31, 2018. We expect to continue to use commercial paper to finance various short-term financing needs. We continue to comply with our debt covenants. Refer to Note 9, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, for more information.
Commodity Trends
We regularly monitor worldwide supply, commodity cost and currency trends so we can cost-effectively secure ingredients, packaging and fuel required for production. During the first three months of 2019, the primary drivers of the increase in our aggregate commodity costs were higher currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, as well as increased costs for packaging, energy, dairy, grains and oils costs, partially offset by lower costs for sugar, cocoa and nuts.
A number of external factors such as weather conditions, commodity market conditions, currency fluctuations and the effects of governmental agricultural or other programs affect the cost and availability of raw materials and agricultural materials used in our products. We address higher commodity costs and currency impacts primarily through hedging, higher pricing and manufacturing and overhead cost control. We use hedging techniques to limit the impact of fluctuations in the cost of our principal raw materials; however, we may not be able to fully hedge against commodity cost changes, such as dairy, where there is a limited ability to hedge, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. Due to competitive or market conditions, planned trade or promotional incentives, fluctuations in currency exchange rates or other factors, our pricing actions may also lag commodity cost changes temporarily.
We expect price volatility and a slightly higher aggregate cost environment to continue in 2019. While the costs of our principal raw materials fluctuate, we believe there will continue to be an adequate supply of the raw materials we use and that they will generally remain available from numerous sources.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
See Note 5, Leases, for more information on operating lease obligations recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 as a result of our adopting the new lease accounting standard and Note 9, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, for information on debt transactions during 2019. There were no other material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements and aggregate contractual obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. We expect to have sufficient cash from operating activities and access to capital markets to fund our obligations. See Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, for a discussion of guarantees.
Equity and Dividends
Stock Plans and Share Repurchases:
See Note 12, Stock Plans, for more information on our stock plans, grant activity and share repurchase program for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
We intend to continue to use a portion of our cash for share repurchases. Between 2013 and 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of a total of $13.7 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2018. On January 31, 2018, our Finance Committee, with authorization delegated from our Board of Directors, approved an increase of $6.0 billion in the share repurchase program, raising the authorization to $19.7 billion of Common Stock repurchases, and extended the program through December 31, 2020.
We repurchased shares at an aggregate cost of $15.7 billion, at a weighted-average cost of $39.51 per share, through March 31, 2019 ($0.7 billion in the first three months of 2019, $2.0 billion in 2018, $2.2 billion in 2017, $2.6 billion in 2016, $3.6 billion in 2015, $1.9 billion in 2014 and $2.7 billion in 2013). The number of shares that we ultimately repurchase under our share repurchase program may vary depending on numerous factors, including share price and other market conditions, our ongoing capital allocation planning, levels of cash and debt balances, other demands for cash, such as acquisition activity, general economic or business conditions and board and management discretion. Additionally, our share repurchase activity during any particular period may fluctuate. We may accelerate, suspend, delay or discontinue our share repurchase program at any time, without notice.
Dividends:
We paid dividends of $380 million in the first three months of 2019 and $330 million in the first three months of 2018. On July 25, 2018, the Finance Committee, with authorization delegated from our Board of Directors, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share of Class A Common Stock, an increase of 18 percent, which would be $1.04 per common share on an annualized basis. The first quarter 2019 dividend was payable on April 12, 2019, to shareholders of record as of March 29, 2019. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.
We anticipate that the 2019 distributions will be characterized as dividends under U.S. federal income tax rules. The final determination will be made on an IRS Form 1099–DIV issued in early 2020.
Significant Accounting Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our significant accounting estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for a discussion of the impact of new accounting standards.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP financial information and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. We use non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We have detailed the non-GAAP adjustments that we make in our non-GAAP definitions below. The adjustments generally fall within the following categories: acquisition & divestiture activities, gains and losses on intangible asset sales and non-cash impairments, major program restructuring activities, constant currency and related adjustments, major program financing and hedging activities and other major items affecting comparability of operating results. We believe the non-GAAP measures should always be considered along with the related U.S. GAAP financial measures. We have provided the reconciliations between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures below, and we also discuss our underlying GAAP results throughout our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q.
Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are listed below and reflect how we evaluate our current and prior-year operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When our definitions change, we provide the updated definitions and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis (1).
| |
• | “Organic Net Revenue” is defined as net revenues excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures (2) and currency rate fluctuations (3). We also evaluate Organic Net Revenue growth from emerging and developed markets. Our emerging markets include our Latin America region in its entirety; the AMEA region, excluding Australia, New Zealand and Japan; and the following countries from the Europe region: Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Georgia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, the Baltics and the East Adriatic countries. Our developed markets include the entire North America region, the Europe region excluding the countries included in the emerging markets definition, and Australia, New Zealand and Japan from the AMEA region. |
| |
• | “Adjusted Operating Income” is defined as operating income excluding the impacts of the Simplify to Grow Program (4); gains or losses (including non-cash impairment charges) on goodwill and intangible assets; divestiture (2) or acquisition gains or losses and related divestiture (2), acquisition and integration costs (2); the operating results of divestitures (2); remeasurement of net monetary position (5); mark-to-market impacts from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts (6); impact from resolution of tax matters (7); CEO transition remuneration (8); impact from pension participation changes (9); and incremental expenses related to the 2017 malware incident. We also present “Adjusted Operating Income margin,” which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted Operating Income. We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis (3). |
| |
• | “Adjusted EPS” is defined as diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations excluding the impacts of the items listed in the Adjusted Operating Income definition as well as losses on debt extinguishment and related expenses; gain on equity method investment transactions; net earnings from divestitures (2); gains or losses on interest rate swaps no longer designated as accounting cash flow hedges due to changed financing and hedging plans and U.S. tax reform discrete impacts (10). Similarly, within Adjusted EPS, our equity method investment net earnings exclude our proportionate share of our investees’ unusual or infrequent items (11). We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis (3). |
| |
(1) | When items no longer impact our current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, we remove these items from our non-GAAP definitions. |
| |
(2) | Divestitures include completed sales of businesses and exits of major product lines upon completion of a sale or licensing agreement. See Note 2, Divestitures and Acquisitions, for information on divestitures and acquisitions impacting the comparability of our results. |
| |
(3) | Constant currency operating results are calculated by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current-period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period. |
| |
(4) | Non-GAAP adjustments related to the Simplify to Grow Program reflect costs incurred that relate to the objectives of our program to transform our supply chain network and organizational structure. Costs that do not meet the program objectives are not reflected in the non-GAAP adjustments. |
| |
(5) | During the third quarter of 2018, as we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for Argentina (refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation), we excluded the remeasurement gains or losses related to remeasuring net monetary assets or liabilities in Argentina during the period to be consistent with our prior accounting for these remeasurement gains/losses for Venezuela when it was subject to highly inflationary accounting prior to 2016. |
| |
(6) | During the third quarter of 2016, we began to exclude unrealized gains and losses (mark-to-market impacts) from outstanding commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives from our non-GAAP earnings measures until such time that the related exposures impact our operating results. Since we purchase commodity and forecasted currency transaction contracts to mitigate price volatility primarily for inventory requirements in future periods, we made this adjustment to remove the volatility of these future inventory purchases on current operating results to facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods. We also discontinued designating commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives for hedge accounting treatment. To facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating results, we have recast all historical non-GAAP earnings measures to exclude the mark-to-market impacts. |
| |
(7) | See Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies – Tax Matters, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for additional information. |
| |
(8) | On November 20, 2017, Dirk Van de Put succeeded Irene Rosenfeld as CEO of Mondelēz International in advance of her retirement at the end of March 2018. In order to incent Mr. Van de Put to join us, we provided him compensation with a total combined target value of $42.5 million to make him whole for incentive awards he forfeited or grants that were not made to him when he left his former employer. The compensation we granted took the form of cash, deferred stock units, performance share units and stock options. In connection with Irene Rosenfeld’s retirement, we made her outstanding grants of performance share units for the 2016-2018 and 2017-2019 performance cycles eligible for continued vesting and approved a $0.5 million salary for her service as Chairman from January through March 2018. We refer to these elements of Mr. Van de Put’s and Ms. Rosenfeld’s compensation arrangements together as “CEO transition remuneration.” We are excluding amounts we expense as CEO transition remuneration from our non-GAAP results because those amounts are not part of our regular compensation program and are incremental to amounts we would have incurred as ongoing CEO compensation. As a result, in 2017, we excluded amounts expensed for the cash payment to Mr. Van de Put and partial vesting of his equity grants. In 2018, we excluded amounts paid for Ms. Rosenfeld’s service as Chairman and partial vesting of Mr. Van de Put’s and Ms. Rosenfeld’s equity grants. |
| |
(9) | The impact from pension participation changes represents the charges incurred when employee groups are withdrawn from multiemployer pension plans and other changes in employee group pension plan participation. We exclude these charges from our non-GAAP results because those amounts do not reflect our ongoing pension obligations. See Note 11, Benefit Plans, for more information on the multiemployer pension plan withdrawal. |
| |
(10) | On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation that included a broad range of business tax provisions. We exclude the discrete U.S. tax reform impacts from our Adjusted EPS as they do not reflect our ongoing tax obligations under U.S. tax reform. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for additional information. |
| |
(11) | We have excluded our proportionate share of our equity method investees’ unusual or infrequent items such as acquisition and divestiture related costs, restructuring program costs and discrete U.S. tax reform impacts, in order to provide investors with a comparable view of our performance across periods. Although we have shareholder rights and board representation commensurate with our ownership interests in our equity method investees and review the underlying operating results and unusual or infrequent items with them each reporting period, we do not have direct control over their operations or resulting revenue and expenses. Our use of equity method investment net earnings on an adjusted basis is not intended to imply that we have any such control. Our GAAP “diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International from continuing operations” includes all of the investees’ unusual and infrequent items. |
We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides you with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Because non-GAAP financial measures vary among companies, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our use of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any
U.S. GAAP financial measure. A limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they exclude items detailed below that have an impact on our U.S. GAAP reported results. The best way this limitation can be addressed is by evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures in combination with our U.S. GAAP reported results and carefully evaluating the following tables that reconcile U.S. GAAP reported figures to the non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q.
Organic Net Revenue:
Applying the definition of “Organic Net Revenue”, the adjustments made to “net revenues” (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) were to exclude the impact of currency and an acquisition. We believe that Organic Net Revenue reflects the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of our business and provides improved comparability of results. We also evaluate our Organic Net Revenue growth from emerging markets, and these underlying measures are also reconciled to U.S. GAAP below.

Adjusted Operating Income:
Applying the definition of “Adjusted Operating Income”, the adjustments made to “operating income” (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) were to exclude Simplify to Grow Program; mark-to-market impacts from commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivative contracts; acquisition integration costs; divestiture-related costs; the remeasurement of net monetary position; and CEO transition remuneration. We also evaluate Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis. We believe these measures provide improved comparability of underlying operating results.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
As we operate globally, we are primarily exposed to currency exchange rate, commodity price and interest rate market risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. We principally utilize derivative instruments to reduce significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. For additional information on our derivative activity and the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge our currency exchange, commodity price and interest rate exposures, see Note 10, Financial Instruments.
Many of our non-U.S. subsidiaries operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates create volatility in our reported results as we translate the balance sheets, operating results and cash flows of these subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar for consolidated reporting purposes. The translation of non-U.S. dollar denominated balance sheets and statements of earnings of our subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar for consolidated reporting generally results in a cumulative translation adjustment to other comprehensive income within equity. A stronger U.S. dollar relative to other functional currencies adversely affects our consolidated earnings and net assets while a weaker U.S. dollar benefits our consolidated earnings and net assets. While we hedge significant forecasted currency exchange transactions as well as certain net assets of non-U.S. operations and other currency impacts, we cannot fully predict or eliminate volatility arising from changes in currency exchange rates on our consolidated financial results. See Consolidated Results of Operations and Results of Operations by Reportable Segment under Discussion and Analysis of Historical Results for currency exchange effects on our financial results during the three months ended March 31, 2019. For additional information on highly inflationary country currencies and the impact of currency policies and recent currency volatility on our financial condition and results of operations, also see Note 1, Basis of Presentation – Currency Translation and Highly Inflationary Accounting.
We also continually monitor the market for commodities that we use in our products. Input costs may fluctuate widely due to international demand, weather conditions, government policy and regulation and unforeseen conditions. To manage input cost volatility, we enter into forward purchase agreements and other derivative financial instruments. We also pursue productivity and cost saving measures and take pricing actions when necessary to mitigate the impact of higher input costs on earnings.
We regularly evaluate our variable and fixed-rate debt as well as current and expected interest rates in the markets in which we raise capital. Our primary exposures include movements in U.S. Treasury rates, corporate credit spreads, London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”) and commercial paper rates. We periodically use interest rate swaps and forward interest rate contracts to achieve a desired proportion of variable versus fixed rate debt based on current and projected market conditions. Our weighted-average interest rate on our total debt was 2.4% as of March 31, 2019, 2.3% as of December 31, 2018 and 2.1% as of December 31, 2017. For more information on our 2019 debt activity, see Note 9, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements.
See Note 10, Financial Instruments, for more information on our 2019 derivative activity. For additional information on our hedging strategies, policies and practices on an ongoing basis, also refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. We continued to work with outsourced partners to further simplify and standardize processes and focus on scalable, transactional processes across all regions. We implemented new policies and procedures, processes and controls and a new lease accounting system in order to comply with the new lease accounting standard (ASC 842). In addition, to drive standardization and consistency, we established a centralized Lease Accounting Center of Excellence with one of our outsourced partners. Pursuant to our service agreements, the controls previously established around these accounting functions will be maintained by our outsourced partners or by us, and they are subject to management’s internal control testing. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of February 3, 2017)
NON-QUALIFIED GLOBAL STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
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. Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan, as 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 “Grant Price”). 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 ninety (90) 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 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 30 days from the effective date of termination (the “30-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 30-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 30-Day Period and/or the 12-Month Period) is a day the Exchange is closed, the Expiration Date (or the expiration of the 30-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 Grant Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof:
(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 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.
Depending upon the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates in the Optionee’s jurisdiction(s), including maximum applicable rates, 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. 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 Grant Price 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 Executive Vice President of Human Resources of the Company, 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 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 Executive Vice President of Human Resources of the Company, 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 continuing obligation of the Optionee (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.
(b) A main purpose of the Plan is to strengthen the alignment of long-term interests between optionees and the Mondelēz Group by providing an ownership interest in the Company, and to prevent former
employees whose interests become adverse to the Company from maintaining that ownership interest. 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(a):
| |
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(a); |
| |
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 Grant Price 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. |
(c) 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.
(d) 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.
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 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 or any other applicable law, including the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, as may be in effect from time to time.
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 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 Grant Price 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. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Statement, the Plan or this Agreement, the Optionee is deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Virginia, U.S.A., and agrees that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Henrico County, Virginia, or the federal courts for the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia.
12. Grant Confers No Rights to Continued Employment - Nature of the Grant. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement) shall give any employee the right to be retained in the employment of any member of the Mondelēz Group, affect the right of any such employer to terminate any employee, or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with any member of the Mondelēz Group. The adoption and maintenance of
the Plan shall not constitute an inducement to, or condition of, the employment of any employee. Further, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b) the grant of the Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted in the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to future option or other Grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;
(d) the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e) the Option and the Option Shares subject to the Option, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f) the Option and the Option Shares subject to the Option, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payment, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;
(g) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted;
(h) if the underlying shares of Common Stock do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;
(i) if the Optionee exercises the Option and obtains shares of Common Stock, the value of those shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Grant Price;
(j) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Option and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Optionee may provide as a director of any entity of the Mondelēz Group;
(k) the Optionee understands and agrees that Optionee should consult with the Optionee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan and that the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or the Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock;
(l) the Option is designated as not constituting an Incentive Stock Option; this Agreement shall be interpreted and treated consistently with such designation;
(m) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Company's Common Stock; and
(n) If the Optionee is providing services outside the United States:
| |
i. | the Option and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, and the income and value of same, are not part of Optionee’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; |
| |
ii. | neither the Company, the Employer nor any member of the Mondelēz Group shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option or of any proceeds resulting from the Optionee’s sale of such shares; and |
| |
iii. | no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from the termination of the Optionee’s employment or other service relationship by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of any employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any). |
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 UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS”), 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, UBS, 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 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. The Optionee understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Optionee’s fails to provide any such consent or agreement as requested by the Company and/or the Employer.
14. Interpretation. The terms and provisions of the Plan (a copy of which will be made available online or furnished to the Optionee upon written request to the Office of the Corporate Secretary, Mondelēz International, Inc., Three Parkway North, Deerfield, Illinois 60015, U.S.A.) are incorporated herein by reference. To the extent any provision in the Award Statement or this Agreement is inconsistent or in conflict with any term or provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern. The Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions that may arise in connection with the Grant or this Agreement, including whether an Optionee is no longer actively employed, and any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive.
15. Miscellaneous Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” means permanent and total disability as determined under the procedures established by the Company for purposes of the Plan and the term “Retirement” means, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the termination of employment on or after the date the Optionee is age 55 or older with at least ten (10) or more years of active continuous employment with the Mondelēz Group.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Optionee’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable Retirement treatment (as set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3) that applies to the Option being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply the favorable Retirement treatment at the time of termination and the Option will be treated as it would under the rules that apply if the Optionee’s employment is terminated for reasons other than Retirement, death or Disability.
16. Language. The Optionee acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or, alternatively, the Optionee acknowledges that he or she will seek appropriate assistance, to understand the terms and conditions in the Agreement. Furthermore, if this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan is translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.
17. Compliance With Law. 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 of Common Stock, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Option Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Option Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Optionee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Option Shares with the Commission or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any
governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the shares. Further, the Optionee agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement without the Optionee’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to the issuance of shares of Common Stock.
18. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be (i) given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, upon deposit for delivery by an internationally recognized express mail courier service or upon deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (if the parties are within the United States), with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address as shown in these instruments, or to such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party or (ii) delivered electronically through the Company’s electronic mail system (including any notices delivered by a third-party) and shall be deemed effectively given upon such delivery. Any documents required to be given or delivered to the Optionee related to current or future participation in the Plan may also be delivered through electronic means as described in paragraph 19 below.
19. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
20. Agreement Severable. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
21. Headings. Headings of paragraphs and sections used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of this Agreement, and must not be used in construing it.
22. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on the Option and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons and to require the Optionee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
23. Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. The Optionee acknowledges that, depending on the Optionee’s country, broker’s country, or where shares of the Company’s Common Stock are listed, the Optionee may be subject to insider trading and/or market abuse laws which may affect the Optionee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock, rights to such shares (e.g., Options) or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock under the Plan during such times as the Optionee is considered to have “material nonpublic information” or “insider information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in the relevant jurisdiction). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Optionee places before the Optionee possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Optionee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company’s insider trading policy, and the requirements of applicable laws may or may not be consistent with the terms of the Company’s insider trading policy. The Optionee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and that the Optionee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
24. Exchange Control Tax and Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. The Optionee acknowledges that there may be exchange control, tax, foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect the Optionee’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on shares of Common Stock
acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage, bank account or legal entity outside the Optionee’s country. The Optionee may be required to report such accounts, balances, assets and/or the related transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Optionee also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Optionee acknowledges that it is the Optionee’s responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Optionee should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details.
25. Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Option shall be subject to any terms set forth in the Appendix to this Agreement for the Optionee’s country. Moreover, if the Optionee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the terms for such country will apply to the Optionee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
26. Waiver. The Optionee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of a 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 Optionee or any other participant of the Plan.
27. Conformity to Securities Laws. The Optionee acknowledges that the Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any and all regulations and rules promulgated thereunder by the Commission, including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement shall be administered, and the Option is granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

APPENDIX A
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of February 3, 2017)
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
NON-QUALIFIED GLOBAL STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
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 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee 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 Option is granted, 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.
EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Data Privacy Notice. The following provision replaces in its entirety paragraph 13 of the Agreement:
Mondelēz International, Inc., with registered address at Three Parkway North, Deerfield, Illinois 60015, U.S.A. is the controller responsible for the processing of the Optionee's Personal Data in connection with the Agreement and the Plan.
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 UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS”), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. UBS 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 UBS, 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 DataProtectionOfficeMEU@mdlz.com. 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 DataProtectionOfficeMEU@mdlz.com.

If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any benefits under the Plan are considered for any purpose under Argentine labor law, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that such benefits shall not accrue more frequently than on each vesting date.
NOTIFICATIONS
Type of Offering. Neither the Option nor the underlying shares of Common Stock are publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in Argentina. Neither the grant of the Option, nor the issuance of shares of Common Stock subject to the grant, constitutes a public offering.
Exchange Control Information. The Optionee is solely responsible for complying with the exchange control rules that may apply in connection with his or her participation in the Plan and/or the transfer of proceeds acquired under the Plan into Argentina.

By accepting the grant of the Option, the Optionee acknowledges and confirms that the Optionee has received these documents.
No payment constituting breach of law in Australia. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan or the Agreement, the Optionee will not be entitled to, and shall not claim any benefit (including without limitation a legal right) under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits. Further, the Employer is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders in general meeting for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.

Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Options under the Plan shall be deposited into a brokerage account in the United States. In no event will shares of Common Stock be issued or delivered in Bahrain. The issuance of shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the Options described herein has not and will not be registered in Bahrain and hence, the shares of Common Stock described herein may not be admitted or used for offering, placement or public circulation in Bahrain. Accordingly, the Optionee may not make any public advertising or announcements regarding the Options or shares of Common Stock in Bahrain, promote these shares of Common Stock to legal entities or individuals in Bahrain, or sell shares of Common Stock directly to other legal entities or individuals in Bahrain. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that he or she is permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the sale of such shares takes place outside of Bahrain through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed (i.e., the Nasdaq Global Select Market).

The Optionee should consult his or her personal tax advisor for details regarding the Optionee’s obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
Brokerage Account Tax Information. A brokerage account tax may apply if the average annual value of the securities the Optionee holds (including shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or other securities account exceeds certain thresholds. The calculation of this tax is complex and the Optionee should consult with his or her personal tax advisor for details regarding his or her obligations with respect to the brokerage account tax.
BRAZIL

BULGARIA
NOTIFICATIONS
Exchange Control Information. If the Optionee exercises the Option through a cash purchase exercise, in order to remit funds out of Bulgaria, he or she will need to declare the purpose of the remittance to the local bank that is transferring the funds abroad. If the amount the Optionee wishes to transfer exceeds BGN 30,000, he or she will need to provide the bank with certain documents evidencing the transaction. If the Optionee exercises the Option by way of a cashless method of exercise, this declaration will not be required because no funds will be remitted out of Bulgaria.
In addition, the Optionee will be required to file statistical forms with the Bulgarian national bank annually regarding his or her receivables in bank accounts abroad as well as securities held abroad (e.g., shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) if the total sum of all such receivables and securities equals or exceeds BGN50,000 as of the previous calendar year end.

Securities Law Information. The Optionee is permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the sale of such shares takes place outside Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed (i.e., the Nasdaq Global Select Market).
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. 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 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 $100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of
other 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 Common Stock, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock. It is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations.
CHINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following provisions apply to Optionees who are People’s Republic of China nationals working in China, as well as to any individuals who are otherwise subject to applicable exchange controls, as determined by the Company:
Cashless Exercise Restriction.

The Company reserves the right to provide the Optionee with additional methods of exercise depending on the development of local law.
In the event that the Optionee is not required to sell shares of Common Stock immediately upon exercise, any shares of Common Stock issued to the Optionee must be maintained in an account with UBS Financial Services, Inc. or such other broker as may be designated by the Company until the shares of Common Stock are sold through that broker. In addition, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that he or she must sell any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise as soon as practicable following the termination of the Optionee’s employment or other service relationship with the Mondelēz Group and in no event later than six (6) months following the termination of the Optionee’s employment or other service relationship with the Mondelēz Group, or within any other such time frame as the Company determines to be necessary or advisable to comply with local requirements.

At the end of the post-termination exercise period specified by SAFE, any unexercised portion of the Option shall immediately expire.
Exchange Control Restrictions. The Optionee understands and agrees that, due to exchange control laws in China, he or she will be required to immediately repatriate to China any cash proceeds from dividends and/or the cashless exercise of the Option. The Optionee further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effected through a special exchange control account established by a member of the Mondelēz Group and the Optionee hereby consents and agrees that any cash proceeds received in connection with the Plan will be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to him or her. The proceeds may be paid in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, the Optionee acknowledges that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be delivered to this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, the Optionee acknowledges that the Mondelēz
Group is under no obligation to secure any currency conversion rate and may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions in China. The Optionee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the date the Option is exercised or dividends are paid and the time that (i) the Tax-Related Items are converted to local currency and remitted to the tax authorities and (ii) net proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to the Optionee. The Optionee acknowledges that the Mondelēz Group will not be held liable for any delay in delivering the proceeds to the Optionee. The Optionee agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be requested by the Company or the Company’s designated broker to effectuate any of the remittances, transfers, conversions or other processes affecting the proceeds.
The Optionee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

The Optionee acknowledges that pursuant to Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code, the Plan and related benefits do not constitute a component of the Optionee’s “salary” for any legal purpose. Therefore, they will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as legal/fringe benefits, vacations, indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions and/or any other labor-related amount which may be payable.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The shares of Common Stock are not and will not be registered in the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the shares of Common Stock may not be offered to the public in Colombia.

The registration method will vary depending on whether or not cash is remitted from Colombia to acquire shares of Common Stock. In addition, upon liquidation of assets held abroad, Colombian residents must (i) cancel the registration with the Central Bank and (ii) repatriate the proceeds from the sale or liquidation to Colombia and file the appropriate Central Bank form (usually through the local bank). Colombian residents are personally responsible for complying with applicable exchange control requirements in Colombia.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Optionee must file an annual informative return with the Colombian Tax Office detailing any assets (e.g. shares of Common Stock) held abroad. If the individual value of any of these assets exceeds a certain threshold, the Optionee must describe each asset and indicate the jurisdiction in which it is located, its nature and its value.

NEW ZEALAND
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Notifications
Securities Law Information. WARNING: The Optionee is being offered an Option which allows the Optionee to purchase shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the
Agreement. The shares of Common Stock, if purchased, give the Optionee a stake in the ownership of the Company. The Optionee may receive a return if dividends are paid.
If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Optionee will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. The Optionee may lose some or all of his or her investment.
New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision.
The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, the Optionee may not be given all the information usually required. The Optionee will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.
The Optionee understands that he or she should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before exercising any Options under the Plan.
The shares of Common Stock are quoted and approved for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in the United States of America. This means that, if the Optionee purchases shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Optionee may be able to sell his or her investment on the Nasdaq if there are interested buyers. The Optionee understands that the Optionee may get less than his or her investment. The price will depend on the demand for the shares of Common Stock.
For information on risk factors impacting the Company’s business that may affect the value of the shares of Common Stock, the Optionee should refer to the risk factors discussion in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are available online at www.sec.gov, as well as on the Company’s website at http://ir.mondelezinternational.com/sec.cfm.

exercise and the proceeds of sale remitted to the Company to cover the aggregate Grant Price and any Tax-Related Items because in this case there is no remittance of funds out of Russia.

Anti-Corruption Information. Anti-corruption laws prohibit certain public servants, their spouses and their dependent children from owning any foreign source financial instruments (e.g., shares of foreign companies such as the Company).

Withholding Taxes. The following provision supplements paragraph 4 of the Agreement:
By accepting the Option, the Optionee understands and acknowledges that he or she is required to notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized upon exercise of the Option.
Exchange Control Obligations. The Optionee is solely responsible for complying with applicable South African exchange control regulations. 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 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 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.
SOUTH KOREA
NOTIFICATIONS
Exchange Control Information. If the Optionee remits funds out of South Korea to pay the Grant Price for Options, the remittance of funds must be confirmed by a foreign exchange bank in South Korea. This
confirmation is not necessary if the Optionee pays the Grant Price through an arrangement with a broker approved by the Company whereby payment of the Grant Price is accomplished with the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, because in this case there is no remittance of funds out of South Korea.
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 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.
SPAIN

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, retirement, 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.
Furthermore, the Optionee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant the Option under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Mondelēz Group. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Mondelēz Group on an ongoing basis other than to the extent set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, the Optionee understands that the Option is granted on the assumption and condition that the Option and the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise shall not become a part of any employment or contract (with the Mondelēz Group, including the Employer) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. 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.

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of February 3, 2017)
GLOBAL LONG-TERM INCENTIVE GRANT AGREEMENT
(2018-2020 Performance Cycle)
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the individual (the “Participant”) named in the Long-Term Incentive Grant Notice (the “Notice”) a Long-Term Incentive Grant (the “LTI Grant”) with respect to the Performance Cycle and Performance Goals set forth in the Notice, subject to the terms and provisions of the Notice, this Global Long-Term Incentive Grant Agreement, including any country-specific appendix (this “Agreement”) and the Mondelēz International, Inc.

Unless and until the Committee determines that an Award is payable with respect to the LTI Grant, in the manner set forth in paragraphs 4 or 5 hereof, the Participant shall have no right to payment based on the LTI Grant. Prior to payment of an Award based on the LTI Grant, the LTI Grant represents an unsecured obligation of the Company payable, if at all, from the general assets of the Company. 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 LTI Grant is subject to the following terms and conditions (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement):
The Participant 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 LTI Grant if the Participant fails to accept this Agreement and related documents within the specified period or using the procedures for acceptance established by the Committee.
1.Definitions. For purposes of the Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The singular pronoun shall include the plural where the context so indicates. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the same meaning as defined under the Plan and the Notice.
(a)Affiliate. “Affiliate” means any entity that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls or is controlled by the Company, in each case, as determined by the Committee.
(b)Disability. “Disability” means permanent and total disability as determined under procedures established by the Company for purposes of the Plan.
(c)LTI Award Payout. “LTI Award Payout” means the number of shares of Common Stock (if the Award is settled in shares) or the amount (if the Award is settled in cash) in either case with the value determined as the product of (a) the LTI Grant Target multiplied by (b) the Performance Goal Attainment Factor (subject to the Committee’s discretion specified in paragraph 4(c)), and, in the case of a Participant who terminates employment before the last day of the Performance Cycle, further multiplied by (c) the Participation Period Factor.
(d)LTI Grant Target. “LTI Grant Target” means the target number of shares of Common Stock or amount set forth in the Notice.
(e)Maximum Goal Factor. “Maximum Goal Factor” means the maximum percentage set forth in the Notice.
(f)Participation Period Factor. “Participation Period Factor” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months (including partial months, rounded up to the next whole month) the Participant participates during the Performance Cycle and the denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Cycle. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may adjust the Participation Period Factor.
(g)Performance Cycle. “Performance Cycle” means the performance period set forth in the Notice over which the attainment of the Performance Goals will be measured for the purpose of determining the LTI Award Payout.
(h)Performance Goal Attainment Factor. “Performance Goal Attainment Factor” means a percentage ranging from 0% to the Maximum Goal Factor representing the level at which the Performance Goals have been attained as determined by the Committee.
(i)Retirement. “Retirement” means, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, the termination of employment on or after the date the Participant is age 55 or older with at least ten (10) or more years of active continuous employment with the Mondelēz Group.
2.Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The LTI Grant is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.
3.Vesting and Forfeiture.
(a)Vesting. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, if the Committee determines that the Performance Goals for the Performance Cycle have been met and the other terms and conditions set forth in the Plan have been satisfied, an Award will be made to the Participant based on the Participant’s LTI Award Payout.
(b)Forfeiture. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, if the Participant has not been continuously and actively employed with a member of the Mondelēz Group that employs the Participant (the “Employer”), from the date of the Notice through the last date of the Performance Cycle or if the Participant is not an employee in good standing with the Employer on the date of payment described in paragraph 4(a) hereof, the LTI Grant will be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company or the Committee. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Participant will not be considered to be continuously and actively employed with the Employer once he or she has stopped providing services, notwithstanding any notice period mandated under the employment laws of the country where the Participant resides (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to the employment laws of the country where the Participant resides), unless otherwise determined by the Company on a country-by-country basis. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a leave of absence shall not constitute a termination of continuous service. The Committee has the exclusive discretion to determine when a Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of the LTI Grant, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
(i) Death/Disability. If the Participant dies or terminates active employment with the Mondelēz Group due to Disability, the vesting of the LTI Grant will occur on a pro rata basis calculated pursuant to paragraph 1(c) of this Agreement. The LTI Award Payout will be made to the Participant by using a Performance Goal Attainment Factor equal to 100%, subject to compliance with the payment timing provisions set forth in paragraph 4(a)(iii) hereof.
(ii) Retirement. If a Participant terminates active employment with the Mondelēz Group prior to the potential payment of an Award as a result of the Participant’s Retirement and the LTI Grant is not otherwise accounted for, or included in, the Participant’s severance or retirement arrangement with the Mondelēz Group and the Participant timely executes a general release and waiver of claims in a form and manner determined by the Company in its sole discretion, then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant shall retain a prorated portion of the LTI Grant with a potential Award payable based on actual attainment of the Performance Goals at the same time an Award (if any) is payable to other participants for the Performance Cycle. The proration of the LTI Grant will be calculated by applying the Participant’s Participation Period Factor as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, subject to compliance with the payment timing provisions set forth in paragraph 4 hereof. Notwithstanding the above, if the Committee receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Participant’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment on Retirement described in this section that applies to the LTI Grant being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply the favorable Retirement treatment at the time of the termination and the LTI Grant will be treated as it would under the rules that apply if the Participant’s employment is terminated for reasons other than Retirement, death or Disability.
4. Payment.
(a) Form and Time of Payment.
(i) Form of Payment. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement, and except as otherwise expressly provided and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Appendix A hereto), any Award that becomes payable in accordance with paragraph 3 hereof shall be paid in whole shares of Common Stock, which shall be issued in book-entry form, registered in the Participant’s name. In the event the LTI Award Payout results in less than a whole number of shares of Common Stock, the LTI Award Payout shall be rounded up to the next whole share of Common Stock (no fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in payment of an Award).
(ii) Certification; Performance Goal Attainment Factor Determination. Following the completion of the Performance Cycle and, subject to paragraph 3(b)(i) and paragraph 5 hereof, prior to the payment of an Award, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals were achieved for the Performance Cycle and shall determine the Performance Goal Attainment Factor with respect to the Award.
(iii) Payment Timing. Except as otherwise provided in the following sentence, the LTI Award Payout shall be paid as soon as practicable following the date the Committee certifies that the Performance Goals for the Performance Cycle have been attained and determines an LTI Grant has vested and is payable for the Performance Cycle, but in no event later than March 15 of the taxable year following the end of the Performance Cycle, including upon a Participant’s Retirement. An Award that becomes payable under paragraph 3(b)(i) hereof in connection with a Participant’s death or termination resulting from Disability shall be paid within 75 days following the Participant’s death or termination of employment, as applicable, but in any event no later than March 15 following the year of death or termination from Disability.
(b) Conditions to Payment of an Award. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including without limitation paragraph 3(a) hereof):

applicable withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items (as defined in paragraph 8 below), if any, in accordance with paragraph 8 hereof.
(ii) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates (whether in electronic or other form) for any shares of Common Stock in payment of the Award prior to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (A) the admission of the Common Stock to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed, (B) the completion of any registration or other qualification of the Common Stock under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Commission or other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary and advisable, or if the offering of the Common Stock is not so registered, a determination by the Company that the issuance of the Common Stock would be exempt from any such registration or qualification requirements, (C) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state, federal or foreign governmental agency that the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable and (D) the lapse of any such reasonable period of time following the date the Award becomes payable as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
(c) Payment Amount. The Committee shall retain the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Performance Goal Attainment Factors (resulting in a reduction, an increase or elimination (including to zero) of, the amount otherwise payable under the LTI Grant) to take into account recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and/or such additional factors including qualitative factors, if any, that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Cycle.
5. Treatment Upon a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 6(b) of the Plan), the LTI Grant is subject to the terms provided in Section 6 of the Plan.
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 Participant agrees and covenants as follows for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of the Participant’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 Participant, without the express written permission of the Executive Vice President of Human Resources of the Company, will not engage in any conduct in which the Participant 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 Participant has reason to know has been under development by the Mondelēz Group during the Participant’s employment with the Mondelēz Group). The Participant will not engage in any activity that may require or inevitably require the Participant’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 Participant, without the express written permission of the Executive Vice President of Human Resources of the Company, 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 Participant 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 continuing obligation of the Participant (which the Participant 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 Participant until any particular trade secret or Confidential Information becomes generally known (through no fault of the Participant), 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 Participant 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.
(b)A main purpose of the Plan is to strengthen the alignment of long-term interests between participants and the Mondelēz Group by providing an ownership interest in the Company, and to prevent former employees whose interests become adverse to the Company from maintaining that ownership interest. By acceptance of any Grant (including the LTI Grant) under the Plan, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that if the Participant breaches any of the covenants set forth in paragraph 6(a):
| |
1. | all unvested or unearned Grants (including any unearned portion of the LTI Grant) shall be immediately forfeited; |
| |
2. | the Company may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any unexpired, unpaid or deferred Grants at any time if the Participant is not in compliance with all terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement including, but not limited to, paragraph 6(a); |
| |
3. | the Participant shall repay to the Mondelēz Group the net proceeds of any 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 Participant’s termination of employment with the Mondelēz Group. The Participant 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 Participant 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 Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock 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 Participant 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. |
(c) 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 Participant’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 Participant 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.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no section of this Agreement is intended to or shall limit, prevent, impede or interfere with the Participant’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 Participant 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 Participant has made such reports or disclosures.
7.Clawback Policy/Forfeiture. The Participant understands and agrees that in the Committee’s sole discretion, the Company may cancel all or part of the LTI Grant or require repayment by the Participant to the Company of all or part of any LTI Award Payout underlying any vested LTI Grant pursuant to any recovery, recoupment, clawback and/or other forfeiture policy maintained by the Company, including a violation of paragraph 6 above, from time to time. In addition, any payments or benefits the Participant 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 or any other applicable law, including the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, as may be in effect from time to time.
8.Withholding Taxes. The Participant acknowledges that regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, 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 Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer, in their discretion, to be an appropriate charge to the Participant even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant 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 LTI Grant, including the vesting or payment of any Award relating to the LTI Grant, the receipt of any dividends or cash payments in lieu of dividends, or the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the LTI Grant or any aspect of the Participant’s
participation in the Plan to reduce or eliminate his or her liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant becomes subject to any Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant 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 Company is authorized to satisfy the withholding for any or all Tax-Related Items arising from the vesting or payment of any Award relating to the LTI Grant or sale of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Award, as the case may be, by deducting the number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to the amount of Tax-Related Items withholding due from the LTI Award Payout or otherwise becoming subject to current taxation. If the Company satisfies the Tax-Related Items obligation by withholding a number of shares of Common Stock as described herein, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock due to the Participant at vesting, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock is held back solely for the purpose of such Tax-Related Items withholding.
The Company is also authorized to satisfy the actual Tax-Related Items arising from the vesting or payment of any Award relating to the LTI Grant, the sale of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Award or hypothetical withholding tax amounts if the Participant is covered under a Company tax equalization policy, as the case may be, by the remittance of the required amounts from any proceeds realized upon the open-market sale of the Common Stock received by the Participant. Such open-market sale is on the Participant’s behalf and at the Participant’s direction pursuant to this authorization without further consent.
Furthermore, the Company and/or the Employer are authorized to satisfy any withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items arising from the vesting or payment of any Award relating to the LTI Grant, or sale of shares issued pursuant to the Award, as the case may be, by withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer.
If the Participant is subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company will deduct the number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to the amount of Tax-Related Items due from the LTI Award Payout, or the Committee may determine that a particular method be used to satisfy any Tax Related Items.
Shares of Common Stock deducted from the LTI Award Payout in satisfaction of any Tax-Related Items shall be valued at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock received in payment of the Award on the date as of which the amount giving rise to the withholding requirement first became includible in the gross income of the Participant under applicable tax laws. If the Participant is covered by a Company tax equalization policy, the Participant also agrees to pay to the Company any additional hypothetical tax obligation calculated and paid under the terms and conditions of such tax equalization policy.
Depending upon the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates in the Participant’s jurisdiction(s), including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent shares of Common Stock.
Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of his or her participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Common Stock if the Participant fails to comply with his or her Tax-Related Items obligations.
9.Nature of the Grant. By participating in the Plan and in exchange for receiving the LTI Grant, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b) the LTI Grant is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards, or benefits in lieu of LTI Grants, even if LTI Grants have been made in the past;
(c) all decisions with respect to future LTI Grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;
(d) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(e) the LTI Grant and the shares of Common Stock, and the income and value of same, subject to the LTI Grant are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f) the LTI Grant and the shares of Common Stock subject to the LTI Grant and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;
(g) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted;
(h) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the LTI Grant and the shares of Common Stock underlying the LTI Grant, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of any entity of the Mondelēz Group; and
(i) the following provisions apply only if the Participant is providing services outside the United States:
(i) the LTI Grant and the shares of Common Stock subject to the LTI Grant, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose;
(ii) neither the Company, the Employer nor any other member of the Mondelēz Group 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 LTI Grant or any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Participant upon vesting of the LTI Grant or of any proceeds resulting from the Participant’s sale of such shares; and
(iii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the LTI Grant resulting from the failure to reach Performance Goals or termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of his or her employment agreement, if any).
| |
10. | Data Privacy. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other LTI Grant materials (“Data”) by and among the Mondelēz Group for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. |
The Participant understands that the Mondelēz Group may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’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 LTI Grants or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock or other equivalent benefits, awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS”), 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 Participant 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 Participant 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 Participant’s country. If the Participant resides outside the United States, the Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the Company, UBS, 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 his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. If the Participant resides outside the United States, the Participant understands that he or she 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 his or her local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that the Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Participant’s employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Participant an LTI Grant or other equity awards or administer or maintain such Grants. The Participant also understands that the Company has no obligation to substitute other forms of Grants or compensation in lieu of the LTI Grant as a consequence of the Participant’s refusal or withdrawal of his or her consent. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact the Participant’s local human resources representative.
Further, upon request of the Company or the Employer, the Participant 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 Participant for the purpose of administering his or her participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country, either now or in the
future. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.
11.Nontransferability of LTI Grant. The LTI Grant or the interests or rights therein may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may not be assigned, hypothecated or otherwise pledged and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, in violation of the provisions herein, the LTI Grant shall immediately become null and void and any rights to receive a payment under the LTI Grant shall be forfeited.
12.Rights as Shareholder. Neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant shall have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of any shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Common Stock (which may be in uncertificated form) will have been issued and recorded on the books and records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Participant shall have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including with respect to the right to vote the Common Stock and the right to receive any cash or share dividends or other distributions paid to or made with respect to the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan, the Company may pay dividend equivalents on the outstanding LTI Grant subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee may establish.
13.Adjustments. The Committee may make such adjustments to one or more of the Performance Goals, as well as the manner in which the LTI Award Payout is calculated, as the Committee in its sole discretion deems appropriate. The Participant shall be notified of such adjustment and such adjustment shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant.
14.NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. THE PARTICIPANT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE LTI GRANT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AGREEMENT IS EARNED ONLY IF THE PERFORMANCE GOALS ARE ATTAINED AND THE OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PLAN ARE SATISFIED AND BY THE PARTICIPANT CONTINUING TO BE EMPLOYED (SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH 3(b) HEREOF) AT THE WILL OF THE EMPLOYER (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING EMPLOYED BY THE EMPLOYER, BEING GRANTED AN LTI GRANT, OR RECEIVING COMMON STOCK HEREUNDER). THE PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE RIGHT TO EARN A PAYMENT UNDER THE LTI GRANT SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT DURING THE PERFORMANCE CYCLE, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE EMPLOYER TO TERMINATE THE PARTICIPANT’S EMPLOYMENT AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE EMPLOYMENT LAWS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THE PARTICIPANT RESIDES OR BE INTERPRETED AS FORMING AN EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE CONTRACT WITH THE EMPLOYER.

Unless otherwise provided in the Notice, the Plan or this Agreement, the Participant is deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Virginia, U.S.A., and agrees that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Henrico County, Virginia, or the federal courts for the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia.

To the extent any provision in the Notice or this Agreement is inconsistent or in conflict with any term or provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

21.Severability. Whenever feasible, each provision of the Notice, this Agreement and the Plan shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision in the
Notice, the Plan or this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of the Notice, the Plan or this Agreement.
22.Code Section 409A. This LTI Grant is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such intent. This Agreement may be amended at any time, without the consent of any party, to avoid the application of Section 409A of the Code in a particular circumstance or that is necessary or desirable to satisfy any of the requirements under Section 409A of the Code, but the Company shall not be under any obligation to make any such amendment. Nothing in the Agreement or the Plan shall provide a basis for any person to take action against the Mondelēz Group based on matters covered by Section 409A of the Code, including the tax treatment of any amount paid under the LTI Grant made hereunder, and Mondelēz Group shall not under any circumstances have any liability to any participant or his estate or any other party for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable under this Agreement, including taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code.
23.No Advice Regarding LTI 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 any shares of Common Stock issued in payment of the LTI Grant. The Participant understands and agrees that the Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
24.Language.

Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in Appendix A, the 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 for legal or administrative reasons.

28.Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant’s country, broker’s country, or where shares of the Company’s Common Stock are listed, the Participant may be subject to insider trading and/or market abuse laws, which affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock, rights to such shares (e.g.,
the LTI Grant) or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “material nonpublic information” or “insider information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in the relevant jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant places before the Participant possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company’s insider trading policy, and the requirements of applicable laws may or may not be consistent with the terms of the Company’s insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with any applicable restrictions, and that the Participant should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
29.Exchange Control, Tax and Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements.

APPENDIX A
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of February 3, 2017)
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
GLOBAL LONG-TERM INCENTIVE GRANT AGREEMENT
This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the LTI Grant to the Participant under the Plan if he or she resides and/or works in one of the countries listed herein. If the Participant is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, or if the Participant transfers to another country after receiving the LTI Grant, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Participant. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement.
This Appendix A also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other issues of which the Participant 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 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant 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 Participant vests in the LTI Grant 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 Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Participant’s situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working, transfers employment after the LTI Grant is made, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner.
EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Data Privacy Notice. The following provision replaces in its entirety paragraph 10 of the Agreement:
Mondelēz International, Inc., with registered address at Three Parkway North, Deerfield, Illinois 60015, U.S.A. is the controller responsible for the processing of the Participant's Personal Data in connection with the Agreement and the Plan.
Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Participant is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses the following types of personal data about the Participant: 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 LTI Grants or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, settled, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Company receives from the Participant or the Employer (“Personal Data”) for the exclusive legitimate purpose of the LTI Grant and implementing, administering and managing the Participant’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 Participant equity awards. The Participant understands that providing the Company with Personal Data is necessary for the performance of the Agreement and that the Participant's refusal to provide Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Participant'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 Participant understands and acknowledges that the United States is not subject to an unlimited adequacy finding by the European Commission and that the Participant’s Personal Data may not have an equivalent level of protection as compared to the Participant’s country of residence. To provide appropriate safeguards for the protection of the Participant’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 Participant 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 UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS”), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. UBS has opened or will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Participant 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 Participant may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with UBS, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or KPMG LLP with such agreement being a condition to the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
The Participant 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: DataProtectionOfficeMEU@mdlz.com. Data Retention. The Company will use the Personal Data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’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 Participant has the right to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about the Participant 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 Participant 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 Participant 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 Participant 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 Participant’s rights, raise any other questions regarding the practices described in the Agreement or to exercise his or her rights, the Participant should contact the Company at: DataProtectionOfficeMEU@mdlz.com.

Securities Law Information.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Participant is required to report any specified foreign property annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the Participant’s specified foreign property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year.

The LTI Grant must be reported--generally at a nil cost--if the $100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property the Participant 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 vesting for the LTI Grant, but if the Participant owns other shares of Common Stock, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock. It is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations.
CHILE

Securities Law Information. The LTI Grant constitutes a private offering of securities in Chile effective as of the Grant Date. The LTI Grant is made subject to general ruling N° 336 of the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance (“SVS”). The offer refers to securities not registered at the securities registry or at the foreign securities registry of the SVS, and, therefore, such securities are not subject to oversight of the SVS. Given that the LTI Grant is not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide public information about the LTI Grant or the shares of Common Stock in Chile. Unless the LTI Grant and/or the shares of Common Stock are registered with the SVS, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.

Esta oferta versa sobre valores no inscritos en el Registro de Valores o en el Registro de Valores Extranjeros que lleva la SVS, por lo que tales valores no están sujetos a la fiscalización de ésta. Por tratarse el Premio LTIP de valores no registrados en Chile, no existe obligación por parte de la Compañía de entregar en Chile información pública respecto del Premio LTIP o sus Acciones. Estos valores no podrán ser objeto de oferta pública en Chile mientras no sean inscritos en el Registro de Valores correspondiente.

CHINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following provisions apply to Participants who are People’s Republic of China nationals working in China, as well as to any individuals who are otherwise subject to applicable exchange controls, as determined by the Company:
Time and Form of Payment. Due to legal restrictions in China, the LTI Award Payout may be made to the Participant in cash, rather than shares of Common Stock as stated in paragraph 4(a) of the Agreement. If shares of Common Stock are issued upon payment of the LTI Grant, in the Company’s sole discretion, the shares may be required to be immediately sold. Thus, as a condition of the LTI Grant, the Participant agrees to the immediate sale of any shares of Common Stock issued to Participant upon payment and settlement of the LTI Grant. The Participant further agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with any mandatory sale of such shares of Common Stock (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) and the Participant expressly authorizes the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares. Upon any such sale of the shares, the proceeds, less any Tax-Related Items and broker’s fees or commissions, will be remitted to the Participant in accordance with any applicable exchange control laws and regulations.
In the event that the Participant is not required to sell shares of Common Stock immediately upon payment of the LTI Grant, any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant must be maintained in an account with UBS Financial Services, Inc. or such other broker as may be designated by the Company until the shares of Common Stock are sold through that broker. In addition, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she must sell any shares of Common Stock issued as soon as practicable following the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Mondelēz Group and in no event later than six (6) months following the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Mondelēz Group, or within any other such time frame the Company determines to be necessary or advisable to comply with local requirements.
Exchange Control Restrictions. The Participant understands and agrees that, due to exchange control laws in China, he or she will be required to immediately repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the LTI Grant. The Participant further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effected through a special exchange control account established by a member of the Mondelēz Group and the Participant hereby consents and agrees that any cash proceeds received in connection with the Plan will be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to him or her. The proceeds may be paid in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, the Participant acknowledges that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be delivered to this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, the Participant acknowledges that the Mondelēz Group is under no obligation to secure any currency conversion rate, and may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions in China. The Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the date the shares of Common Stock acquired from the LTI Grant are sold and the time that (i) the Tax-Related Items are converted to local currency and remitted to the tax authorities and (ii) net proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to the Participant. The Participant acknowledges that the Mondelēz Group will not be held liable for any delay in delivering the proceeds to the Participant. The Participant agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be requested by the Company or the Company’s designated broker to effectuate any of the remittances, transfers, conversions or other processes affecting the proceeds.
The Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. For shares issued under the Plan, these additional requirements may include, but are not limited to, a requirement to maintain any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan in an account with a Company-designated broker and/or to sell any shares of Common Stock that the Participant receives immediately upon issuance (as described above) or upon termination of the Participant’s service with the Mondelēz Group.

COLOMBIA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Labor Law Acknowledgement.

NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The shares of Common Stock are not and will not be registered in the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the shares of Common Stock may not be offered to the public in Colombia.

Exchange Control Information. Colombian residents must register their investments with the Central Bank of Colombia (Banco de la República). The registration method will vary depending on whether or not cash is remitted from Colombia to acquire shares of Common Stock. In addition, upon liquidation of assets held abroad, Colombian residents must (i) cancel the registration with the Central Bank and (ii) repatriate the proceeds from the sale or liquidation to Colombia and file the appropriate Central Bank form (usually through the local bank). Colombian residents are personally responsible for complying with applicable exchange control requirements in Colombia.

If the individual value of any of these assets exceeds a certain threshold, the Participant must describe each asset and indicate the jurisdiction in which it is located, its nature and its value.

MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of February 3, 2017)
GLOBAL DEFERRED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the employee (the “Employee”) named in the award statement provided to the Employee (the “Award Statement”) as of the date set forth in the Award Statement (the “Grant Date”) pursuant to the provisions of the Mondelēz International, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), Deferred Stock Units (the “Grant”) representing a right to receive a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth in the Award Statement, upon and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth below, in the Award Statement and in the Plan. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Global Deferred Stock Unit 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 Grant is subject to the following terms and conditions (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement):
The Employee 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 Deferred Stock Units if the Employee fails to accept this Agreement and related documents within the specified period or using the procedures for acceptance established by the Committee.
1. Restrictions. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the restrictions on the Deferred Stock Units shall lapse and the Deferred Stock Units shall vest on the Vesting Date shown in the Award Statement (the “Vesting Date”), provided that the Employee remains an active employee of the Mondelēz Group during the entire period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date.
2. Termination of Employment Before Vesting Date. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee or except as expressly provided in this Agreement, if the Employee terminated employment with the Mondelēz Group prior to the Vesting Date, the Employee shall forfeit all rights to the Deferred Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Deferred Stock Units. If the Employee terminates employment with the Mondelēz Group prior to the Vesting Date due to:
(a) the Employee’s death or Disability (as defined below in paragraph 21), the restrictions on the Deferred Stock Units shall lapse and the Deferred Stock Units shall become fully vested on the date of death or Disability; or
(b) upon the Employee’s Retirement (as defined below in paragraph 21), or as otherwise determined by the Committee, and provided the Deferred Stock Units are not otherwise accounted for, or included in, the Employee’s severance or retirement arrangement with the Mondelēz Group and the Employee timely executes a general release and waiver of claims in a form and manner determined by the Company in its sole discretion, then the Deferred Stock Units will vest on a pro-rata basis. The proration amount will be a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months
(excluding the month of the Grant Date and including partial months thereafter, rounded up to the next whole month) the Employee was actively employed by the Mondelēz Group during the vesting period and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the vesting period.
For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee’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 Employee is employed or the terms of the Employee’s employment agreement, if any). The Employee 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 Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Deferred Stock Units. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, leaves of absence shall not constitute a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement.
3. Voting and Dividend Rights. The Employee does not have the right to vote the Deferred Stock Units or receive dividends or dividend equivalents prior to the date, if any, such Deferred Stock Units vest and are paid to the Employee in the form of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof. However, the Employee shall receive cash payments (less applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined below)) in lieu of dividends otherwise payable with respect to shares of Common Stock equal in number to the Deferred Stock Units that have not been forfeited, as such dividends are paid.
4. Transfer Restrictions. This Grant and the Deferred Stock Units are non-transferable and may not be assigned, hypothecated or otherwise pledged and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, the Grant shall immediately become null and void and the Deferred Stock Units shall be forfeited. These restrictions shall not apply, however, to any payments received pursuant to paragraph 8 below.
5. Withholding Taxes. The Employee acknowledges that regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Employee’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 Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Employee or deemed by the Company or the Employer, in their discretion, to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains his or her responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Employee 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 Deferred Stock Units, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Deferred Stock Units, the receipt of any dividends or cash payments in lieu of dividends, or the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant of the Deferred Stock Units or any aspect of the Employee’s participation in the Plan to reduce or eliminate his or her liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee becomes subject to any Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Employee 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 Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to issue or deliver shares of Common Stock upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units if Employee 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 Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, in their sole discretion and without any notice or further authorization by the Employee, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Employee (or otherwise due by the Employee as set forth in this paragraph 5) and any hypothetical taxes from the Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units. Alternatively, or in addition, the Company may (i) deduct the number of Deferred Stock Units having an aggregate value equal to the amount of Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes due from the total number of Deferred Stock Units awarded, vested, paid or otherwise becoming subject to current taxation; (ii) instruct the broker it has selected for this purpose (on the Employee’s behalf and at the Employee’s direction pursuant to this authorization without further consent) to sell any shares of Common Stock that the Employee acquires upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units to meet the Tax-Related Items withholding obligation and any hypothetical taxes, except to the extent that such a sale would violate any U.S. federal securities law or other applicable law; and/or (iii) satisfy the Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes arising from the granting or vesting of the Deferred Stock Units, as the case may be, through any other method established by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company will withhold in shares of Common Stock issuable at vesting of the Deferred Stock Units upon the relevant withholding event or the Committee may determine that a particular method be used to satisfy any required withholding. Finally, the Employee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.
Depending upon the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts (in accordance with Section 14(d) of the Plan) or other applicable withholding rates in the Employee’s jurisdiction(s), including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Employee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent shares of Common Stock. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Grant, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Common Stock 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 Employee’s participation in the Plan.
6. Death of Employee. If any of the Deferred Stock Units shall vest upon the death of the Employee, any Common Stock received in payment of the vested Deferred Stock Units shall be registered in the name of and delivered to the estate of the Employee.
7. Payment of Deferred Stock Units. Each Deferred Stock Unit granted pursuant to this Grant represents an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to issue to the Employee, on or as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days, after the date the Deferred Stock Units vest pursuant to paragraph 1 or 2 and otherwise subject to the terms of this Agreement (including the country-specific
terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement), the value of one share of the Common Stock. Except as otherwise expressly provided and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Appendix A hereto), such issuance shall be made to the Employee (or, in the event of his or her death to the Employee’s estate or beneficiary as provided above) in the form of Common Stock as soon as practicable following the vesting of the Deferred Stock Units pursuant to paragraph 1 or 2.
8. Special Payment Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee (i) is subject to U.S. federal income tax on any part of the payment of the Deferred Stock Units, (ii) is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and (iii) will become eligible for Retirement (A) for Deferred Stock Units with a Vesting Date between January 1 and March 15, before the calendar year preceding the Vesting Date and (B) for Deferred Stock Units with a Vesting Date after March 15, before the calendar year in which such Vesting Date occurs, then any payment of Deferred Stock Units under paragraph 7 that is on account of his or her separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code shall be delayed until six months following such separation from service. In addition, if such an Employee is not vested in his or her Deferred Stock Units, and the Employee (i) becomes eligible for Retirement while employed by a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company that would not be a “service recipient” with respect to the Grant within the meaning of the regulations under Section 409A of the Code or (ii) becomes eligible for Retirement and subsequently transfers to a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company that would not be a “service recipient” with respect to the Grant within the meaning of the regulations under Section 409A of the Code, then the Employee’s Deferred Stock Units shall be paid to the Employee at such time in accordance with paragraph 7 (based on the value of shares of Common Stock at the time of payment), subject to a six-month delay from the date treated as a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code.
9. 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 Employee agrees and covenants as follows for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of the Employee’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 Employee, without the express written permission of the Executive Vice President of Human Resources of the Company, will not engage in any conduct in which the Employee 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 Employee has reason to know has been under development by the Mondelēz Group during the Employee’s employment with the Mondelēz Group). The Employee will not engage in any activity that may require or inevitably require the Employee’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 Employee, without the express written permission of the Executive Vice President of Human Resources of the Company, 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 Employee 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 9 are not in lieu of, but are in addition to the continuing obligation of the Employee (which the Employee 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 Employee until any particular trade secret or Confidential Information becomes generally known (through no fault of the Employee), 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 Employee 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.
(b)A main purpose of the Plan is to strengthen the alignment of long-term interests between employees and the Mondelēz Group by providing an ownership interest in the Company, and to prevent former employees whose interests become adverse to the Company from maintaining that ownership interest. By acceptance of any Grant (including the Deferred Stock Units) under the Plan, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that if the Employee breaches any of the covenants set forth in paragraph 9(a):
| |
1. | all unvested Grants (including any unvested Deferred Stock Units) shall be immediately forfeited; |
| |
2. | the Company may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any unexpired, unpaid or deferred Grants (including the Deferred Stock Units) at any time if the Employee is not in compliance with all terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement including, but not limited to, paragraph 9(a); |
| |
3. | the Employee shall repay to the Mondelēz Group the net proceeds of any 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 Employee’s termination of employment with the Mondelēz Group. The Employee 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 Employee 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 Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock 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 Employee 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. |
(c)If any provision contained in this paragraph 9 shall for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after the Employee’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 Employee 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.
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no section of this Agreement is intended to or shall limit, prevent, impede or interfere with the Employee’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 Employee 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 Employee has made such reports or disclosures.
10. Clawback Policy/ Forfeiture. The Employee understands and agrees that in the Committee’s sole discretion, the Company may cancel all or part of the Deferred Stock Units or require repayment by the Employee to the Company of all or part of any cash payment or shares of Common Stock underlying any vested Deferred Stock Units pursuant to any recovery, recoupment, clawback and/or other forfeiture policy maintained by the Company, including a violation of paragraph 9 above, from time to time. In addition, any payments or benefits the Employee 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 or any other applicable law, including the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, as may be in effect from time to time.
11. Original Issue or Transfer Taxes. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to the delivery of the shares of Common Stock underlying the vested Deferred Stock Units, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 5.
12. Grant Confers No Rights to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement) shall give any employee the right to be retained in the employment of any member of the Mondelēz Group, affect the right of any Employer to terminate any employee, or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with any member of the Mondelēz Group. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not constitute an inducement to, or condition of, the employment of the Employee.
13. Nature of the Grant. In accepting the Deferred Stock Units, the Employee acknowledges, understands, and agrees that:

14. Data Privacy. The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Agreement and any other grant materials (“Data”) by and among the Mondelēz Group for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Employee’s participation in the Plan.
The Employee understands that the Mondelēz Group may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, the Employee’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, and details of the Deferred Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock or other equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
The Employee understands that Data will be transferred to UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS”), 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 Employee 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 Employee 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 Employee’s country. If the Employee resides outside the United States, the Employee understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Employee’s local human resources representative. The Employee authorizes the Company, UBS, 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 Employee’s participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Employee’s participation in the Plan. If the Employee resides outside the United States, the Employee understands that he or she 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 Employee’s local human resources representative. Further, the Employee understands that the Employee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Employee does not consent, or if the Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Employee’s employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Employee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Employee Deferred Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such grants. The Employee also understands that the Company has no obligation to substitute other forms of grants or compensation in lieu of the Deferred Stock Units as a consequence of the Employee’s refusal or withdrawal of his or her consent. Therefore, the Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Employee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Employee understands that he or she may contact the Employee’s local human resources representative.
Further, upon request of the Company or the Employer, the Employee 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 Employee for the purpose of administering the Employee’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Employee’s country, either now or in the future. The Employee understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Employee’s fails to provide any such consent or agreement as requested by the Company and/or the Employer.
15. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be (i) given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, upon deposit for delivery by an internationally recognized express mail courier service or upon deposit in the United States mail by certified mail (if the parties are within the United States), with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address as shown in these instruments, or to such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other party or (ii) delivered electronically through the Company’s electronic mail system (including any notices delivered by a third-party) and shall be deemed effectively given upon such delivery. Any documents required to be given or delivered to the Employee related to current or future participation in the Plan may also be delivered through electronic means as described in paragraph 16 below.
16. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
17. Language. The Employee acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or, alternatively, the Employee acknowledges that he or she will seek appropriate assistance, to understand the terms and conditions in the Agreement. Furthermore, if the Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.
18. Interpretation. The terms and provisions of the Plan (a copy of which will be made available online or furnished to the Employee upon written request to the Office of the Corporate Secretary, Mondelēz International, Inc., Three Parkway North, Deerfield, Illinois 60015, U.S.A.) are incorporated herein by reference. To the extent any provision in the Award Statement or this Agreement is inconsistent or in conflict with any term or provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern. The Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions that may arise in connection with the Grant or this Agreement, including whether the Employee is no longer actively employed. Any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive.
19. Successors and Assigns. 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.
20. 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 Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Employee’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 Employee. 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. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Statement, the Plan or this Agreement, the Employee is deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Virginia, U.S.A., and agrees that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Henrico County, Virginia, or the federal courts for the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in a manner that avoids the imposition of taxes and other penalties under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, including complying with Section 6(a)(vii) of the Plan in the event of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall any member of the Mondelēz Group be responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other losses or expenses incurred by the Employee due to any failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
21. Miscellaneous. 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 date of this Grant, the Board or the Committee shall make adjustments to the number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to this Grant, 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 Deferred Stock Units, and to determine whether continued employment with any entity resulting from such a transaction will or will not be treated as continued employment with any member of the Mondelēz Group, in each case subject to any Board or Committee action specifically addressing any such adjustments, cash payments, or continued employment treatment.
For the purposes of this Agreement, (a) the term “Disability” means permanent and total disability as determined under the procedures established by the Company for purposes of the Plan, and (b) the term “Retirement” means, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the termination of employment on or after the date the Employee is age 55 or older with at least ten (10) or more years of active continuous employment with the Mondelēz Group.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Employee’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable Retirement treatment (as set forth above) that applies to the Deferred Stock Units being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Company will not apply the favorable Retirement treatment at the time of termination and the Deferred Stock Units will be treated as they would under the rules that apply if the Employee’s employment is terminated for reasons other than Retirement, death or Disability.
22. Compliance With Law. 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 of Common Stock, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Common Stock issuable upon settlement of the Deferred Stock Units prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Employee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the shares of Common Stock with the Commission or any state, provincial or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock. Further, the Employee agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Agreement without the Employee’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to the issuance of shares of Common Stock.
23. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
24. Headings. Headings of paragraphs and sections used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of this Agreement, and must not be used in construing it.
25. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the Deferred Stock Units and on any shares
of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
26. Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. The Employee acknowledges that, depending on the Employee’s country, broker’s country, or where shares of the Company’s Common Stock are listed, the Employee may be subject to insider trading and/or market abuse laws, which may affect the Employee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock, rights to such shares (e.g., Deferred Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock under the Plan during such times as the Employee is considered to have “material nonpublic information” or “insider information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in the relevant jurisdiction). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Employee places before the Employee possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Employee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing inside information to any third party (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company’s insider trading policy, and the requirements of applicable laws may or may not be consistent with the terms of the Company’s insider trading policy. The Employee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and that the Employee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
27. Exchange Control, Tax and Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. The Employee acknowledges that there may be exchange control, tax, foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect the Employee’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage, bank account or legal entity outside the Employee’s country. The Employee may be required to report such accounts, balances, assets and/or the related transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Employee also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. The Employee acknowledges that it is the Employee’s responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Employee should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details.
28. Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Deferred Stock Units shall be subject to any terms set forth in the Appendix to this Agreement for the Employee’s country. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the terms for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.
29. Waiver. The Employee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of a 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 Employee or any other participant of the Plan.
30. Conformity to Securities Laws. The Employee acknowledges that the Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any and all regulations and rules promulgated thereunder by the Commission, including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement shall be administered,
and the Grant is made, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Award Statement, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.
***
The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has reviewed the Plan, the Award Statement and this Agreement (including any appendices hereto) in their entirety and fully understands their respective provisions. The Employee agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions arising under the Plan, the Award Statement or this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed as of the Grant Date.

APPENDIX A
MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
(Amended and Restated as of February 3, 2017)
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
GLOBAL DEFERRED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Deferred Stock Units granted to the Employee under the Plan if he or she resides and/or works in one of the countries listed herein. If the Employee is a citizen or resident (or is considered as such for local law purposes) of a country other than the country in which the Employee is currently residing and/or working, or if the Employee transfers to another country after receiving the Deferred Stock Units, the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Employee. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Global Deferred Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”).
This Appendix A also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other issues of which the Employee 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 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Employee 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 Employee vests in the Deferred Stock Units 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 Employee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Employee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Employee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Employee’s situation.
Finally, if the Employee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, transfers employment after the Deferred Stock Units are granted, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Employee in the same manner.
EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Data Privacy Notice. The following provision replaces in its entirety paragraph 14 of the Agreement:
Mondelēz International, Inc., with registered address at Three Parkway North, Deerfield, Illinois 60015, U.S.A. is the controller responsible for the processing of the Employee's Personal Data in connection with the Agreement and the Plan.
Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Employee is hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses the following types of personal data about the Employee: 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 Deferred Stock Units or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, settled, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Employee or the Employer (“Personal Data”) for the exclusive legitimate purpose of granting Deferred Stock Units and implementing, administering and managing the Employee’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 Employee understands that providing the Company with Personal Data is necessary for the performance of the Agreement and that the Employee's refusal to provide Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Employee'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 Employee understands and acknowledges that the United States is not subject to an unlimited adequacy finding by the European Commission and that the Employee’s Personal Data may not have an equivalent level of protection as compared to the Employee’s country of residence. To provide appropriate safeguards for the protection of the Employee’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 Employee 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 UBS Financial Services, Inc. (“UBS”), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. UBS has opened or will open an account for the Employee to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. The Employee 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 Employee may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with UBS, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or KPMG LLP with such agreement being a condition to the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan.
The Employee 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: DataProtectionOfficeMEU@mdlz.com. Data Retention. The Company will use the Personal Data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Employee’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 Employee has the right to (i) inquire whether and what kind of Personal Data the Company holds about the Employee 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 Employee 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 Employee 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 Employee 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 Employee’s rights, raise any other questions regarding the practices described in the Agreement or to exercise his or her rights, the Employee should contact the Company at: DataProtectionOfficeMEU@mdlz.com. ALGERIA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Deferred Stock Units Payable Only in Cash. Notwithstanding any discretion in the Plan or anything to the contrary in the Agreement (including paragraph 7 of the Agreement), the grant of Deferred Stock Units does not provide any right for the Employee to receive shares of Common Stock upon the Vesting Date. Deferred Stock Units granted to Employees in Algeria shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock on the Vesting Date.
ARGENTINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Restrictions and Covenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, paragraph 9 of the Agreement will not apply to Argentinian Employees.

The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Grant is made by the Company (not the Employer) in its sole discretion and that the value of the Deferred Stock Units or any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan shall not constitute salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, including, but not limited to, the calculation of (i) any labor benefits, such as vacation pay, thirteenth salary, compensation in lieu of notice, annual bonus, disability, and leave of absence payments, etc., or (ii) any termination or severance indemnities or similar payments.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any benefits under the Plan are considered for any purpose under Argentine labor law, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that such benefits shall not accrue more frequently than on each vesting date.
NOTIFICATIONS
Type of Offering. Neither the Units nor the underlying shares of Common Stock are publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in Argentina. Neither the grant of Deferred Stock Units, nor the issuance of shares of Common Stock subject to the grant, constitutes a public offering.
Exchange Control Information. The Employee is solely responsible for complying with the exchange control rules that may apply in connection with his or her participation in the Plan and/or the transfer of proceeds acquired under the Plan into Argentina. Prior to vesting in the Deferred Stock Units or transferring proceeds into Argentina, the Employee should consult his or her local bank and exchange control advisor to confirm the exchange control rules and required documentation.

Australian Offer Document. The Employee’s right to participate in the Plan and receive the grant of Deferred Stock Units under the Plan is subject to the terms and conditions as stated in the offer document, the Plan and the Agreement. By accepting the grant of the Deferred Stock Units, the Employee acknowledges and confirms that the Employee has received these documents.
No payment constituting breach of law in Australia. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan or the Agreement, the Employee will not be entitled to, and shall not claim any benefit (including without limitation a legal right) under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits. Further, the Employer is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders in general meeting for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.
NOTIFICATIONS
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding AUD10,000 and for international fund transfers. If an Australian bank is assisting with the transaction, the bank will file the report on the Employee’s behalf.
AUSTRIA
NOTIFICATIONS
Exchange Control Information. If the Employee holds shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan or cash (including proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock) outside Austria, the Employee must submit a report to the Austrian National Bank as follows: (i) on a quarterly basis if the value of the shares and cash as of the last day of any given quarter meets or exceeds €30,000,000; the deadline for filing the quarterly report is the 15th day of the month following the end of the respective quarter and (ii) on an annual basis if the value of the shares and cash as of December 31 meets or exceeds €5,000,000; the deadline for filing the annual report is January 31 of the following year.

BAHRAIN
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Notification. The Agreement does not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Bahrain, nor does it constitute an allotment of securities in Bahrain. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Deferred Stock Units under the Plan shall be deposited into a brokerage account in the United States. In no event will shares of Common Stock be issued or delivered in Bahrain. The issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Deferred Stock Units described herein has not and will not be registered in Bahrain and hence, the shares of Common Stock described herein may not be admitted or used for offering, placement or public circulation in Bahrain. Accordingly, the Employee may not make any public advertising or announcements regarding the Deferred Stock Units or shares of Common Stock in Bahrain, promote these shares of Common Stock to legal entities or individuals in Bahrain, or sell shares of Common Stock directly to other legal entities or individuals in Bahrain. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that he or she is permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the sale of such shares takes place outside of Bahrain through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed (i.e., the Nasdaq Global Select Market).
BELGIUM
NOTIFICATIONS
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Employee is required to report any securities (e.g., shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) or bank accounts established outside of Belgium on his or her annual tax return. In a separate report, Belgium residents are also required to provide the National Bank of Belgium with the account details of any such foreign accounts (including the account number, bank name and country in which any such account was opened). This report, as well as additional information on how to complete it, can be found on the website of the National Bank of Belgium, www.nbb.be, under Kredietcentrales / Centrales des crédits caption. The Employee should consult a personal tax advisor with respect to the applicable reporting obligations.
Stock Exchange Tax. A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by a Belgian resident through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, such as a U.S. broker. The stock exchange tax may apply to transactions under the Plan, such as the sale of shares of Common Stock. The Employee should consult his or her personal tax advisor for details regarding the Employee’s obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
Brokerage Account Tax Information. A brokerage account tax may apply if the average annual value of the securities the Employee holds (including shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or other securities account exceeds certain thresholds. The calculation of this tax is complex and the Employee should consult with his or her personal tax advisor for details regarding his or her obligations with respect to the brokerage account tax.
BRAZIL
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Compliance with Law. By accepting the Deferred Stock Units, the Employee acknowledges that he or she agrees to comply with applicable Brazilian laws and pay any and all applicable Tax-Related Items associated with the vesting of the Deferred Stock Units, the receipt of any dividends and the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
Labor Law Acknowledgment. The Employee agrees, for all legal purposes, (i) the benefits provided under the Agreement and the Plan are the result of commercial transactions unrelated to the Employee’s employment; (ii) the Agreement and the Plan are not a part of the terms and conditions of the Employee’s employment; and (iii) the income from the shares of Common Stock associated with the Deferred Stock Units, if any, is not part of the Employee’s remuneration from employment.

NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The Employee is permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the sale of such shares takes place outside Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed (i.e., the Nasdaq Global Select Market).
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Employee is required to report any specified foreign property annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the Employee’s specified foreign property exceeds 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 the Deferred Stock Units. The Deferred Stock Units must be reported--generally at a nil cost--if the $100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property the Employee 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 vesting for Deferred Stock Units, but if the Employee owns other shares of Common Stock, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock. It is the Employee’s responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations.
CHILE
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The offer of Deferred Stock Units constitutes a private offering of securities in Chile effective as of the Grant Date. The offer of Deferred Stock Units is made subject to general ruling N° 336 of the Chilean Commission for the Financial Market (“CMF”). The offer refers to securities not registered at the securities registry or at the foreign securities registry of the CMF, and, therefore, such securities are not subject to oversight of the CMF. Given that the Deferred Stock Units are not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide public information about the Deferred Stock Units or the shares of Common Stock in Chile. Unless the Deferred Stock Units and/or the shares of Common Stock are registered with the CMF, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.
Esta oferta de Unidades de Acciones Diferidas constituye una oferta privada de valores en Chile y se inicia en la Fecha de la Concesión. Esta oferta de Unidades de Acciones Diferidas se acoge a las disposiciones de la Norma de Carácter General N° 336 de la Comisión para el Mercado Financiero de Chile (“CMF”). Esta oferta versa sobre valores no inscritos en el Registro de Valores o en el Registro de Valores Extranjeros que lleva la CMF, por lo que tales valores no están sujetos a la fiscalización de ésta. Por tratarse las Unidades de Acciones Diferidas de valores no registrados en Chile, no existe obligación
por parte de la Compañía de entregar en Chile información pública respecto de las Unidades de Acciones Diferidas o sus Acciones. Estos valores no podrán ser objeto de oferta pública en Chile mientras no sean inscritos en el Registro de Valores correspondiente.
Exchange Control Information. The Employee is not required to repatriate any funds he or she receives with respect to the Deferred Stock Units and/or the shares of Common Stock (e.g., proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or dividends received) to Chile. However, if the Employee decides to repatriate such funds, he or she must do so through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office) if the amount of the funds repatriated exceeds US$10,000. Further, if the value of the aggregate investments held by the Employee outside of Chile exceeds US$5,000,000 (e.g., shares of Common Stock and cash proceeds acquired under the Plan), the Employee must report the investments annually to the Central Bank using Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations.
Exchange control requirements are subject to change. The Employee should consult with his or her personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations that may apply in connection with the Deferred Stock Units.
Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information. If the Employee holds shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan outside Chile, the Employee will be required to inform the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (the “CIRS”) of the details of the Employee’s investment in the shares of Common Stock. Further, if the Employee wishes to receive a tax credit against the Employee’s Chilean income taxes for any taxes paid abroad, the Employee must report the payment of taxes abroad to the CIRS. In either case, the Employee must file Tax Form 1929 by June 30 each year, which should be submitted electronically through the CIRS website: www.sii.cl.
CHINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following provisions apply to Employees who are People’s Republic of China nationals working in China, as well as to any individuals who are otherwise subject to applicable exchange controls, as determined by the Company:
Settlement of Deferred Stock Units and Sale of Shares. Due to legal restrictions in China, upon the vesting of Deferred Stock Units, the Employee acknowledges that the Deferred Stock Units may be paid to the Employee in cash rather than shares of Common Stock. If shares of Common Stock are issued upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units, in the Company’s sole discretion, the shares may be required to be immediately sold. Thus, as a condition of the grant of the Deferred Stock Units, the Employee agrees to the immediate sale of any shares of Common Stock issued to Employee upon vesting and settlement of the Deferred Stock Units. The Employee further agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with any mandatory sale of such shares of Common Stock (on the Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) and the Employee expressly authorizes the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares. The Employee acknowledges that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of shares of Common Stock at any particular price. Upon any such sale of the shares, the proceeds, less any Tax-Related Items and broker’s fees or
commissions, will be remitted to the Employee in accordance with any applicable exchange control laws and regulations.
In the event that the Employee is not required to sell shares of Common Stock immediately upon vesting, any shares of Common Stock issued to the Employee must be maintained in an account with UBS Financial Services, Inc. or such other broker as may be designated by the Company until the shares of Common Stock are sold through that broker. In addition, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that he or she must sell any shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting as soon as practicable following the termination of the Employee’s employment or other service relationship with the Mondelēz Group and in no event later than six (6) months following the termination of the Employee’s employment or other service relationship with the Mondelēz Group, or within any other such time frame the Company determines to be necessary or advisable to comply with local requirements.
Exchange Control Restrictions. The Employee understands and agrees that, due to exchange control laws in China, he or she will be required to immediately repatriate to China any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired from the Deferred Stock Units and any dividends and/or dividend equivalents paid to the Employee in cash. The Employee further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effected through a special exchange control account established by a member of the Mondelēz Group and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that any cash proceeds received in connection with the Plan will be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to him or her. The proceeds may be paid in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, the Employee acknowledges that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be delivered to this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, the Employee acknowledges that the Mondelēz Group is under no obligation to secure any currency conversion rate and may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions in China. The Employee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the date the shares of Common Stock acquired from the Deferred Stock Units are sold or any dividends are paid and the time that (i) the Tax-Related Items are converted to local currency and remitted to the tax authorities and (ii) net proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to the Employee. The Employee acknowledges that the Mondelēz Group will not be held liable for any delay in delivering the proceeds to the Employee. The Employee agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be requested by the Company or the Company’s designated broker to effectuate any of the remittances, transfers, conversions or other processes affecting the proceeds.
The Employee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. For Deferred Stock Units, these additional requirements may include, but are not limited to, a requirement to maintain any shares of Common Stock acquired from the Deferred Stock Units in an account with a Company-designated broker and/or to sell any shares of Common Stock that the Employee receives immediately upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units (as explained above) or upon termination of the Employee’s service with the Mondelēz Group.

COLOMBIA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Labor Law Acknowledgement. The following provision supplements the acknowledgments contained in paragraph 12 of the Agreement:
The Employee acknowledges that pursuant to Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code, the Plan and related benefits do not constitute a component of the Employee’s “salary” for any legal purpose. Therefore, they will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as legal/fringe benefits, vacations, indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions and/or any other labor-related amount which may be payable.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The shares of Common Stock are not and will not be registered in the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the shares of Common Stock may not be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in this document should be construed as the making of a public offer of securities in Colombia.
Exchange Control Information. Colombian residents must register their investments with the Central Bank of Colombia (Banco de la República). The registration method will vary depending on whether or not cash is remitted from Colombia to acquire shares of Common Stock. In addition, upon liquidation of assets held abroad, Colombian residents must (i) cancel the registration with the Central Bank and (ii) repatriate the proceeds from the sale or liquidation to Colombia and file the appropriate Central Bank form (usually through the local bank). Colombian residents are personally responsible for complying with applicable exchange control requirements in Colombia.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Employee must file an annual informative return with the Colombian Tax Office detailing any assets (e.g. shares of Common Stock) held abroad.

Exchange Control Information.

SPAIN
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Nature of Grant. The following provision supplements paragraph 13 of the Agreement:
In accepting the Deferred Stock Units, the Employee consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.
The Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the grant of the Deferred Stock Units, except as provided for in paragraph 2 of the Agreement, the termination of the Employee’s employment for any reason (including for the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the loss of the Deferred Stock Units that may have been granted to the Employee and that have not vested on the date of termination.
In particular, the Employee understands and agrees that any unvested Deferred Stock Units as of Employee’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, retirement, 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.
Furthermore, the Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant the Deferred Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Mondelēz Group. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Mondelēz Group on an ongoing basis other than to the extent set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, the Employee understands that the Deferred Stock Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Deferred Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting shall not become a part of any employment or contract (with the Mondelēz Group, including the Employer) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Furthermore, the Employee understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever will arise from the Deferred Stock Units, which is gratuitous and discretionary, since the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and unpredictable.

After such rights and/or assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will apply for subsequent years only if the value of any previously-reported rights or assets increases by more than €20,000, or if ownership of the asset is transferred or relinquished during the year.

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 date of this Grant, the Board of Directors of the Company or the Committee shall make adjustments to the number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to this Grant, 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 Deferred Stock Units, and to determine whether continued employment with any entity resulting from such a transaction will or will not be treated as continued employment with any member of the Mondelēz Group, in each case subject to any Board of Directors or Committee action specifically addressing any such adjustments, cash payments, or continued employment treatment.
For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the term “Disability” means permanent and total disability as determined under procedures established by the Company for purposes of the Plan, and (b) the term “Retirement” means, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, retirement from active employment under a pension plan of the Mondelēz Group, an employment contract with any member of the Mondelēz Group, or a local labor contract, on or after the date specified as normal retirement age in the pension plan or employment contract, if any, under which the Employee is at that time accruing pension benefits for his or her current service (or, in the absence of a specified normal retirement age, the age at which pension benefits under such plan or contract become payable without reduction for early commencement and without any requirement of a particular period of prior service).
Withholding Taxes. The following provision supplements paragraph 5 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to paragraph 5 of the Agreement, the Employee hereby agrees that he or she 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, as applicable, or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Employee also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer, as applicable, 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 Employee’s behalf.

In this case, the Tax-Related Items not collected or paid may constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. The Employee 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 NICs due on this additional benefit, which may also be recovered from the Employee by any of the means referred to in paragraph 5 of the Agreement.
In addition, the Employee agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may calculate the Tax-Related Items to be withheld and accounted for by reference to the maximum applicable rates, without prejudice to any right the Employee may have to recover any overpayment from the relevant tax authorities.
