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, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation
War in Ukraine
In February 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine and we closed our operations and facilities in Ukraine. In March 2022, our two Ukrainian manufacturing facilities in Trostyanets and Vyshhorod were significantly damaged. We continue to make targeted repairs on both our plants and have partially reopened and restarted production in both plants. We also continue to support our Ukraine employees, including paying salaries to those not yet able to return to work until production returns. We continue to consolidate both our Ukrainian and Russian subsidiaries and continue to evaluate our ability to control our operating activities and businesses on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience, expectations of future impacts and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Given the uncertainty of the ongoing effects of the war in Ukraine, and its impact on the global economic environment, our estimates could be significantly different than future performance.

Transfers of Financial Assets
The outstanding principal amount of receivables under our uncommitted revolving non-recourse accounts receivable factoring arrangements amounted to $473 million as of March 31, 2024 and $262 million as of December 31, 2023. 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.
Non-Cash Lease Transactions
We recorded $12 million in operating lease and $22 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $39 million in operating lease and $27 million in finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Supply Chain Financing
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the FASB issued an ASU which enhances the transparency of supplier finance programs by requiring additional disclosure about the key terms of these programs and a roll-forward of the related obligations to understand the effects of these programs on working capital, liquidity and cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the roll-forward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted, with the exception of the roll-forward requirement, this standard in the first quarter of 2023 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued an ASU which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and related segment disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued an ASU which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Divestitures
Developed Market Gum
On October 1, 2023, we completed the sale of our developed market gum business in the United States, Canada and Europe to Perfetti Van Melle Group, excluding the Portugal business which we sold on October 23, 2023 after obtaining regulatory approval.
We recorded divestiture-related costs of $4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and divestiture-related costs of $30 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
This disposition was not considered a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our operations or financial results; therefore, the results of the disposed business were not classified as discontinued operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, capital expenditures of $223 million excluded $290 million of accrued capital expenditures remaining unpaid at March 31, 2023 and included payment for a portion of the $324 million of capital expenditures that were accrued and unpaid at December 31, 2022.

(1)In 2023, we recorded $26 million of intangible asset impairment charges related to a chocolate brand in the North America segment for $20 million and a biscuit brand in the Europe segment for $6 million in the third quarter.
Indefinite-life intangible assets consist principally of brand names purchased through our acquisitions of Nabisco Holdings Corp., the global LU biscuit business of Groupe Danone S.A., Cadbury Limited and Clif Bar. Definite-life intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks, customer-related intangibles, process technology, licenses and non-compete agreements.
Amortization expense for intangible assets was $38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $39 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the next five years, we currently estimate annual amortization expense of approximately $125 90
Impairment Assessment:
We test our reporting units and brands for impairment annually as of July 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or brand is less than its carrying amount. During the first quarter of 2024, we evaluated our goodwill impairment and intangible asset impairment risk through an assessment of potential triggering events. We considered qualitative and quantitative information in our assessment. We concluded there were no impairment indicators.
During our 2023 annual indefinite-life intangible asset testing, we identified thirteen brands that each had a fair value in excess of book value of 10% or less. The aggregate book value of the thirteen brands was $3.6 billion as of March 31, 2024, of which $1.9 billion is related to five recently acquired brands. We believe our current plans for each of these brands will support the current carrying values, but if plans to grow brand earnings and expand margin are not met or specific valuation factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change then a brand or brands could become impaired in the future.

Note 6. Investments
Marketable Securities
On March 2, 2023, we sold approximately 30 million shares of Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ: "KDP"), which reduced our ownership interest by 2.1 percentage points, from 5.3 % to 3.2 % of the total outstanding shares. We received approximately $1.0 billion in proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain on equity method transactions of $493 million ($368 million after-tax) on this sale during the first quarter of 2023. This reduction in ownership, to below 5 % of the outstanding shares, resulted in a change of accounting for our KDP investment, from equity method investment accounting to accounting for equity interests with readily determinable fair values ("marketable securities") as we no longer had significant influence over KDP. Marketable securities are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). Subsequently in 2023, we sold the remainder of our shares of KDP and exited our investment in the company.
Pre-tax gains for marketable securities are summarized below:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 | |||||
| (in millions) | |||||
Unrealized gain on marketable securities held as of the end of the period | $ | ||||
Dividend income and other | |||||
| Total gain on marketable securities | $ | ||||
We reported no marketable securities as of March 31, 2024 and $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2023 in Other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Equity Method Investments
Our equity method investments include, but are not limited to, our ownership interests in JDE Peet's (Euronext Amsterdam: "JDEP"), Dong Suh Foods Corporation and Dong Suh Oil & Fats Co. Ltd. Our ownership interests may change over time due to investee stock-based compensation arrangements, share issuances or other equity-related transactions. As of March 31, 2024, we owned 17.7 %, 50.0 % and 49.0 %, respectively, of these companies' outstanding shares. We continue to have board representation with two directors on JDEP's Board of Directors and have retained certain additional governance rights. As we continue to have significant influence, we continue to account for our investment in JDEP under the equity method.
Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $2.4 billion as of March 31, 2024 and $3.2 billion as of December 31, 2023. We recorded equity earnings of $31 million and cash dividends of $81 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, and equity earnings of $35 million and cash dividends of $102 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment based on the period of time for which the quoted market price fair value has been less than the carrying value of the investment and the uncertainty surrounding JDEP's stock price recovering to the carrying value. As a result, the investment was written down to its estimated fair value based on the closing price of the underlying equity security of €19.46 per share on March 28, 2024, resulting in an impairment charge of €612 million ($665 million). This charge was included within (Loss)/gain on equity method investment transactions including impairments in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. Any potential future impairments of JDEP will continue to be assessed based upon the other-than-temporary impairment criteria. There was no other than temporary impairment identified in 2023.
JDEP Transactions
On March 30, 2023, we issued options to sell shares of JDEP in tranches equivalent to approximately 7.7 million shares. These options were exercisable at their maturities which were between July 3, 2023 and September 29, 2023, with strike prices ranging from €26.10 to €28.71 per share. Subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2023, we exercised options on 2.2 million of the 7.7 million shares.
10 | | |||||||
In 2021, we issued €300 million exchangeable bonds, which are redeemable at maturity in September 2024 at their principal amount in cash or, at our option, through the delivery of an equivalent number of JDEP’s ordinary shares based on an initial exchange price of €35.40 and, as the case may be, an additional amount in cash. If all bonds were redeemed in exchange for JDEP's shares, this would represent approximately 8.5 million shares or approximately 10 % of our equity interest in JDEP as of March 31, 2024. Refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments, for further details on this transaction.
Note 7. 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. On October 21, 2021, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the restructuring program through 2023, and on July 25, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a further extension of the restructuring program through December 31, 2024. 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 implementation charges of $5.3 billion related to the Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to incur the remainder of the program charges by year-end 2024.
Restructuring Costs
The Simplify to Grow Program liability activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was:

(4)We recognized non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other non-cash adjustments, including any gains on sale of restructuring program assets, which totaled a charge of $1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and a charge of $1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
(5)At March 31, 2024, $119 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $96 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 additional 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 $11 million in

the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.
Restructuring and Implementation Costs

At March 31, 2024, we complied with this covenant as our shareholders' equity, as defined by the covenant, was $39.6 billion. The revolving credit facility also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. There are no credit rating triggers, provisions or other financial covenants that could require us to post collateral as security.

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; net investment hedge contracts; 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 bifurcated exchange options are valued, as derivative instrument liabilities, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires assumptions related to the market price of the underlying note and associated credit spread combined with the share of price, expected dividend yield, and expected volatility of the JDE Peet’s shares over the life of the option. 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
15 | | |||||||
ratings, limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties.

The other contingent consideration liabilities are recorded at fair value within long-term liabilities. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation at the acquisition date was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation and recorded in other liabilities. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair value of the liability include financial projections for net revenue, gross profit, and EBITDA, as well as discount and volatility rates. Fair value adjustments are primarily recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.

Employer Contributions
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we contributed $1 million to our U.S. pension plans and $46 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. 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, 2024, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $3 million to our U.S. plans and $83 million to our non-U.S. plans for the remainder of 2024. 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
On July 11, 2019, we received an undiscounted withdrawal liability assessment from the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund totaling $491 million requiring pro-rata monthly payments over 20 years. We began making monthly payments during the third quarter of 2019. In connection with the discounted long-term liability, we recorded accreted interest of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, within interest and other expense, net. As of March 31, 2024, the remaining discounted withdrawal liability was $324 million, with $16 million recorded in other current liabilities and $308 million recorded in long-term other liabilities.

Share Repurchase Program
Effective January 1, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a program authorizing the repurchase of $6.0 billion of our Common Stock through December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased approximately $1.6 billion of Common Stock pursuant to this authorization. Repurchases under the program are determined by management and are wholly discretionary.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased approximately 7.7 million shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $72.99 per share, or an aggregate cost of approximately $563 million, all of which was paid during the period except for approximately $15 million settled in April 2024. All share repurchases were funded through available cash and commercial paper issuances. As of March 31, 2024, we have approximately $3.9 billion in remaining share repurchase capacity.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
We routinely are involved in various pending or threatened legal proceedings, claims, disputes, regulatory matters and governmental inquiries, inspections or investigations arising in the ordinary course of or incidental to our business, including those noted below in this section. We record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending legal matters when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For matters we have not provided for 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 legal proceedings and regulatory and governmental matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, legal proceedings and regulatory and governmental matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial fines, civil or criminal penalties, and other expenditures. 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 equitable remedies. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial position.
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 for the Northern District of Illinois (the "District Court") related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts that occurred prior to the spin-off of Kraft Foods Group. The complaint alleged that 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. On May 13, 2022, the District Court approved a settlement agreement between the CFTC and Mondelēz Global. The terms of the settlement, which are available in the District Court’s docket, had an immaterial impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and did not include an admission by Mondelēz Global. Several class action complaints also were filed against Mondelēz Global in the District Court by investors who copied and expanded upon the CFTC allegations in a series of private claims for monetary damages as well as injunctive, declaratory, and other unspecified relief. In June 2015, these suits were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois as case number 15-cv-2937, Harry Ploss et al. v. Kraft Foods Group, Inc. and Mondelēz Global LLC. On January 3, 2020, the District Court granted plaintiffs' request to certify a class. In November 2022, the District Court adjourned the trial date it had previously set for November 30, 2022 and ordered the parties to brief Kraft’s motions to decertify the class and for summary judgment, which has been completed. 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 class action.
As previously disclosed, in November 2019, the European Commission informed us that it initiated an investigation into our alleged infringement of European Union competition law through certain practices allegedly restricting cross-border trade within the European Economic Area. On January 28, 2021, the European Commission announced it had taken the next procedural step in its investigation and opened formal proceedings. As previously disclosed, we have been cooperating with the investigation in an effort to reach a negotiated resolution in this matter. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we had accrued (in accordance with U.S. GAAP), on a pre-tax basis, a liability of €300 million ($321 million) within other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of earnings as an estimate of the possible cost to resolve this matter. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we determined that we are likely to achieve a resolution with the European Commission that is expected to result in a liability of approximately €340 million ($375 million) in total. We have adjusted our accrual, on a pre-tax basis, accordingly. In the event we achieve resolution as currently expected, we are likely to make payment in 2024. We do not anticipate any modification of our business practices and agreements that would have a material impact on our ongoing business operations within the European Union.
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. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no material third-party guarantees recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
21 | | |||||||
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 14. Income Taxes
As of the first quarter of 2024, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excludes discrete tax impacts, was 27.9 %. This rate reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws as well as both favorable and unfavorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our 2024 first quarter effective tax rate was 23.6 % and includes a $227 million net tax expense incurred in connection with unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities as well as other discrete net tax benefits of $29 million.
As of the first quarter of 2023, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excluded discrete tax impacts, was 24.3 %. This rate reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our 2023 first quarter effective tax rate of 29.6 % was high due to a $127 million net tax expense incurred in connection with the KDP share sale (the earnings are reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes). Associated with the KDP share sale, we also recorded a $201 million net tax expense related to the change of accounting for our KDP investment from equity method investment accounting to accounting for equity interests with readily determinable fair values. Excluding these tax impacts as well as the associated pre-tax impacts, our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of 23.0 % was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $20 million, primarily driven by a $30 million net benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions.

Note 16. Segment Reporting
We manufacture and market primarily snack food products, including chocolate, biscuits and baked snacks, as well as gum & candy, cheese & grocery and powdered beverages.
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.
24 | | |||||||
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), amortization of intangibles, gains and losses on divestitures and acquisition-related costs (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) 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.
Overview of Business and Strategy
Our core business is making and selling chocolate, biscuits and baked snacks, with additional businesses in adjacent, locally relevant categories including gum & candy, cheese & grocery and powdered beverages around the world.
We aim to be the global leader in snacking. Our strategy is to drive long-term growth by focusing on four strategic priorities: accelerating consumer-centric growth, driving operational excellence, creating a winning growth culture and scaling sustainable snacking. We believe the successful implementation of our strategic priorities and leveraging of our attractive global footprint, strong core of iconic global and local brands, marketing, sales, distribution and cost excellence capabilities, and top talent with a growth mindset, will drive consistent top- and bottom-line growth, enabling us to continue to create long-term value for our shareholders.
Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability
Macroeconomic environment
We continue to observe significant market and geopolitical uncertainty, inflationary pressures, supply constraints and exchange rate volatility. As a result, we experienced significantly higher operating costs, including higher overall raw material, labor and energy costs that have continued to rise. In particular, we expect to face higher cocoa costs, as the market price for cocoa beans has increased significantly year-over-year and it is likely that prices will remain elevated for some time. Refer to Commodity Trends for additional information.
Our overall outlook for future snacks revenue growth remains strong; however, we anticipate ongoing volatility. We will continue to proactively manage our business in response to the evolving global economic environment, related uncertainty and business risks while also prioritizing and supporting our employees and customers. We continue to take steps to mitigate impacts to our supply chain, operations, technology and assets.
War in Ukraine
In February 2022, following the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, we stopped production and closed our facilities in Ukraine; since then we have taken steps to protect the safety of our employees and to restore operations at our two manufacturing facilities, which were significantly damaged in March 2022. We continue to support our Ukraine employees, including paying salaries to those not yet able to return to work until full production returns. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation - War in Ukraine, to the condensed consolidated financial statements, and refer to Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results for additional information.
We have suspended new capital investments and our advertising spending in Russia, but as a food company with more than 2,500 employees in the country, we have not ceased operations given we believe we play a role in the continuity of the food supply. We continue to evaluate the situation in Ukraine and Russia and our ability to control our operating activities and businesses on an ongoing basis and comply with applicable international sanctions, and we continue to consolidate both our Ukrainian and Russian subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2024, Ukraine generated 0.4% and Russia generated 2.6% of consolidated net revenue and during the first quarter of 2023, Ukraine generated 0.4% and Russia generated 2.8% of consolidated net revenue. Our Russian net revenues declined in the first quarter of 2024 due to the suspension of advertising as well as currency weakness. Despite the decrease in revenues, the profitability of our Russian business in the first quarter of 2024 remained above historical levels. We cannot predict if the recent strength in our Russian business will continue in the future.
Our operations in Russia are subject to risks, including the temporary or permanent loss of assets or our ability to conduct business operations in Russia and the partial or full impairment of our Russian assets in future periods, or the termination of our business operations, based on actions taken by Russia, other parties or us. For additional information, see the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, including the risk entitled “The war in Ukraine has impacted and could continue to impact our business operations, financial performance and results of operations.”
27 | | |||||||
Developments in the Middle East
In October 2023, conflict developed in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel, and has expanded to some parts of the region. In the first quarter of 2024, we experienced sales impacts related to this conflict in certain AMEA markets, but this did not have a material impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We continue to evaluate the impacts of these developments on our business and we cannot predict if it will have a significant impact in the future.
Extreme price growth in Argentina
During December 2023, the Argentinean peso significantly devalued. The peso's devaluation and potential resulting distortion on our non-GAAP Organic Net Revenue, Organic Net Revenue growth and other constant currency growth rate measures resulted in our decision to exclude the impact of pricing in excess of 26% year-over-year ("extreme pricing") in Argentina, from these measures beginning in Q1 2024. The benchmark of 26% represents the minimum annual inflation rate for each year over a 3-year period which would result in a cumulative inflation rate in excess of 100%, the level at which an economy is considered hyperinflationary under U.S. GAAP. Throughout the following MD&A discussion, we now exclude, on a prospective basis, the impact of extreme pricing in Argentina from the net pricing impact of Organic Net Revenue and Organic Net Revenue growth and its related impact on our other non-GAAP financial constant currency growth measures with a corresponding adjustment in changes in currency translation rates. Additionally within the MD&A discussion, "currency-related items" totals the impact of extreme pricing and the currency translation rate changes.
Currency-related items impacted our non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as follows:
•Organic Net Revenue: In total, unfavorable currency-related items of $132 million (1.5pp) were driven by unfavorable currency translation rate changes of $513 million (5.7pp), partially offset by the adjustment for extreme pricing of $381 million (4.2pp). In Emerging Markets, unfavorable currency-related items of $166 million (4.6pp) were driven by unfavorable currency translation rate changes of $547 million (15.2pp), partially offset by the adjustment for extreme pricing of $381 million (10.6pp). In Developed Markets, favorable currency-related items of $34 million (0.7pp) were driven by favorable currency translation rate changes.
•Adjusted Operating Income: Unfavorable currency-related items of $70 million were driven by unfavorable currency translation rate changes of $190 million, partially offset by the adjustment for extreme pricing of $120 million.
•Adjusted EPS: Unfavorable currency-related items of $0.05 were driven by unfavorable currency translation rate changes of $0.13, partially offset by the adjustment for extreme pricing of $0.08.
Please refer to Non-GAAP financial measures for additional information.
Divestitures
In 2022, we announced our intention to divest our developed market gum and global Halls candy businesses and in the fourth quarter of 2022, we announced an agreement to sell the developed market gum business. On October 1, 2023, we completed the sale of our developed market gum business to Perfetti Van Melle Group, excluding the Portugal business which we retained pending regulatory approval. We completed the sale of the Portugal business to Perfetti Van Melle Group on October 23, 2023.
Refer to Note 2, Divestitures, for additional details.
Investment Transactions
Keurig Dr Pepper Transactions (Nasdaq: "KDP")
On March 2, 2023, we sold approximately 30 million shares of KDP, which reduced our ownership interest by 2.1 percentage points to 3.2%. We recorded a pre-tax gain on equity method transactions of $493 million (or $368 million after-tax) during the first quarter of 2023. Our reduction in ownership to below 5% eliminated our governance rights that had allowed us to exert substantial influence over KDP and resulted in a change of accounting from equity method investment accounting to accounting for equity interests with readily determinable fair values ("marketable securities") during the first quarter of 2023. Subsequently in 2023, we sold the remainder of our shares
28 | | |||||||
of KDP and exited our investment in the company.
JDE Peet’s Transactions (Euronext Amsterdam: “JDEP”)
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment of our investment in JDEP, resulting in an impairment charge of €612 million ($665 million).
For additional information, refer to Note 6, Investments and Note 9, Financial Instruments.
Taxes
We continue to monitor existing and potential future tax reform around the world. As of March 31, 2024, numerous countries have now enacted the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development’s model rules on a global minimum tax with the earliest effective date being for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2023. Based on the guidance available thus far, we do not expect this legislation to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements but we will continue to evaluate it as additional guidance and clarification becomes available.
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, particularly growth in profit dollars, 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. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") financial results. We believe it is useful to provide investors with the same financial information that we use internally to make comparisons of our historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and evaluate our business. We believe our non-GAAP financial measures should always be considered in relation to our U.S. GAAP results. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and Consolidated Results of Operations for the respective reconciliations.
In addition to monitoring our key operating metrics, we monitor developments and trends that could impact our revenue and profitability objectives, as highlighted in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Summary of Results
•Net revenues increased 1.4% to $9.3 billion in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Net revenue growth in the first quarter of 2024 was driven by higher net pricing and incremental net revenue from a short-term distributor agreement related to the sale of our developed market gum business, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix, the impact of our 2023 divestiture of the developed market gum business and unfavorable currency-related items, as the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to most currencies we operate in compared to exchange rates in the prior year.
•Organic Net Revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 4.2% to $9.4 billion in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to same period in the prior year. During the first quarter of 2024, Organic Net Revenue grew due to higher net pricing, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix. Organic Net Revenue is on a constant currency basis and excludes revenue from acquisitions and divestitures. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the definition of Organic Net Revenue and Consolidated Results of Operations for our reconciliation with net revenues.
•Diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International decreased (31.6)% to $1.04 in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Diluted EPS decreased in the first quarter of 2024, driven by an impairment charge on our JDEP equity method investment in 2024, lapping prior-year gains on marketable securities and equity method investment transactions related to our former KDP investment, lapping prior-year operating results from the developed market gum business divested in 2023 and higher costs incurred from our Simplify to Grow program. These unfavorable items were partially offset by a favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from currency and commodity derivatives, an increase in Adjusted EPS, lower divestiture-related costs, lower acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments and lower equity method investee items.
•Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 10.5% to $0.95 in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EPS increased 16.3% to $1.00 in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EPS increased in the first quarter of 2024, driven by operating gains, lower interest expense and fewer shares outstanding, partially offset by unfavorable currency-related items and higher taxes. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the definition of Adjusted EPS and Consolidated Results of Operations for our reconciliation with diluted EPS.

Net revenue increase of 1.4% was driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 4.2% and the impact of a short-term distributor agreement, partially offset by the impact of our 2023 divestiture of the developed market gum business and unfavorable currency-related items. Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by higher net pricing, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing in all regions was due to the benefit of carryover pricing from 2023 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first three months of 2024. Overall, unfavorable volume/mix was driven by volume declines, due to expected customer price negotiation disruptions in Europe, softer consumer demand in the U.S. and geopolitical impacts in parts of AMEA, which were partially offset by favorable product mix. Unfavorable volume/mix was reflected across all regions. The short-term distributor agreement related to the October 1, 2023 sale of our developed market gum business added incremental net revenues of $25 million. The impact of our 2023 divestiture of the developed market gum business resulted in a year-over-year reduction in net revenues of $147 million. Refer to Note 2, Divestitures, for additional information. Currency-related items decreased net revenues by $132 million, driven by unfavorable currency translation rate changes, partially offset by the adjustment for extreme pricing in Argentina. Refer to Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability for additional information. Unfavorable currency translation rate changes were due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to several currencies, primarily the
32 | | |||||||
Argentinean peso, as well as the Russian ruble, Turkish lira, Nigerian naira, Chinese yuan and Australian dollar, partially offset by the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the Mexican peso, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, euro and Polish zloty.
Operating Income – Operating income increased $1,222 million (81.2%) to $2,727 million in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted Operating Income (1) increased $186 million (12.2%) to $1,710 million and Adjusted Operating Income on a constant currency basis (1) increased $256 million (16.8%) to $1,780 million due to the following:

During the first quarter of 2024, we realized higher net pricing, which was partially offset by increased input costs and unfavorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing, which included the carryover impact of pricing actions taken in 2023 as well as the effects of input cost-driven pricing actions taken during the first three months of 2024, was reflected across all regions. The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs net of realized gains from our forward purchasing and hedging contracts, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity. Higher raw material costs were in part due to higher cocoa, sugar, nuts, and other ingredient costs, as well as unfavorable year-over-year currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, partially offset by lower dairy, edible oils, grains, energy and packaging costs. Overall, volume/mix was due to volume declines partially offset by favorable product mix. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by Europe, North America and Latin America, which was marginally offset by slightly favorable volume/mix in AMEA.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $83 million from the first quarter of 2023, which reflected benefits from a number of factors noted in the table above, including in part, lower divestiture-related costs, the elimination of costs from the developed market gum business divested in 2023, lower acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments and lower remeasurement loss of net monetary position, marginally offset by higher implementation costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow program. Excluding these factors, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $138 million from the first quarter of 2023. The increase was driven primarily by higher advertising and consumer promotion costs and higher overhead costs in part due to increased investments in route to market capabilities.
Unfavorable currency-related items decreased operating income by $70 million primarily due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to most currencies, including the Argentinean peso, Russian ruble, Turkish lira, Chinese yuan, Australian dollar, Nigerian naira and Egyptian pound, partially offset by the strength of a few currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the British pound sterling, Mexican peso, Brazilian real, euro and Polish zloty.
Operating income margin increased from 16.4% in the first quarter of 2023 to 29.4% in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in operating income margin was driven primarily by the favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market gains/(losses) from currency and commodity hedging activities, higher Adjusted Operating Income margin, lower divestiture-related costs and lower remeasurement loss of net monetary position, partially offset by the impact from the developed market gum business divested in 2023 and higher costs incurred for the Simplify to Grow program. Adjusted Operating Income margin increased from 16.9% for the first quarter of 2023 to 18.5% for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was driven primarily by higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity, favorable product mix and overhead cost leverage, partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher advertising and consumer promotion costs.

Three Months Ended March 31:
Net revenues increased $108 million (8.9%), due to higher net pricing (8.3 pp) and favorable impact of currency-related items (1.8 pp), partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (1.2 pp). Higher net pricing, net of the adjustment for extreme pricing in Argentina, was driven by input cost-driven pricing actions and reflected across all categories, primarily in Argentina, Mexico and Brazil. Currency-related items were net positive due to the adjustment for extreme pricing in Argentina, which was mostly offset by unfavorable currency translation rate changes. Unfavorable currency translation impacts were primarily due to the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to a few currencies in the region, primarily the Argentinean peso and Chilean peso, partially offset by the strength of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily the Mexican peso and Brazilian real. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by declines in chocolate, biscuits & baked snacks, candy and cheese & grocery, partially offset by gains in refreshment beverages and gum.
Segment operating income increased $18 million (12.9%), primarily due to higher net pricing, lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, lower remeasurement loss on net monetary position and lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity. These favorable items were partially offset by higher raw material costs, unfavorable currency-related items, higher acquisition integration costs, higher advertising and consumer promotion costs and unfavorable volume/mix.

Higher net pricing, driven by input cost-driven pricing actions, was reflected across all categories except cheese & grocery. The short-term distributor agreement related to the October 1, 2023 sale of our developed market gum business added incremental net revenues of $25 million. Overall, unfavorable volume/mix reflected volume declines due to the impact from customer price negotiation disruptions, partially offset by favorable product mix. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by declines in biscuits & baked snacks, chocolate, gum, candy and refreshment beverages, partially offset by a gain in cheese & grocery. The impact of our 2023 divestiture of the developed market gum business resulted in a year-over-year reduction in net revenues of $55 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that cash from operations, our revolving credit facilities, short-term borrowings and our authorized long-term financing will continue to provide sufficient liquidity for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and future payments of our contractual, tax and benefit plan obligations and payments for acquisitions, share repurchases and quarterly dividends. We expect to continue to utilize our commercial paper program and international credit lines as needed. We continually evaluate long-term debt issuances to meet our short- and longer-term funding requirements. We also use intercompany loans with our international subsidiaries to improve financial flexibility. Our investment in JDE Peet's provides us additional flexibility. Overall, we do not expect negative effects to our funding sources that would have a material effect on our liquidity, and we continue to monitor our global operations including the impact of ongoing or new developments in Ukraine and the Middle East. To date, we have been successful in generating cash and raising financing as needed. However, if a serious economic or credit market crisis ensues or other adverse developments arise, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.
Our most significant ongoing short-term cash requirements relate primarily to funding operations (including expenditures for raw materials, labor, manufacturing and distribution, trade and promotions, advertising and marketing, tax liabilities, benefit plan obligations and lease expenses) as well as periodic expenditures for acquisitions, shareholder returns (such as dividend payments and share repurchases), property, plant and equipment and any significant one-time non-operating items.
Long-term cash requirements primarily relate to funding long-term debt repayments (refer to Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements), our U.S. tax reform transition tax liability and deferred taxes (refer to Note 16, Income Taxes, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023), our long-term benefit plan obligations (refer to Note 10, Benefit Plans, and Note 11, Benefit Plans, in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023) and commodity-related purchase commitments and derivative contracts (refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments).
We generally fund short- and long-term cash requirements with cash from operating activities as well as cash proceeds from short- and long-term debt financing (refer to Debt below). We generally do not use equity to fund our ongoing obligations.
Cash Flow
We believe our ability to generate substantial cash from operating activities and readily access capital markets and secure financing at competitive rates are key strengths and give us significant flexibility to meet our short- and long-term financial commitments. Our cash flow activity is noted below:

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash-basis net earnings, partially offset by unfavorable year-over-year working capital requirements. This is largely a result of business growth and operating gains.
Net Cash (Used in)/Provided by Investing Activities
The reduction in net cash used in/provided by investing activities was largely driven by lapping prior year proceeds from the KDP share sale (refer to Note 6, Investments). We continue to make capital expenditures primarily to modernize manufacturing facilities, implement new product manufacturing and support productivity initiatives. We expect 2024 capital expenditures to be up to $1.5 billion, including capital expenditures in connection with our Simplify to Grow Program and for funding our strategic priorities. We expect to continue to fund these expenditures with cash from operations.
39 | | |||||||
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to higher debt proceeds combined with lower debt repayments, partially offset by higher share repurchases and higher dividends paid in the first three months of 2024 compared to the same prior year period.
Dividends
We paid dividends of $578 million in the first three months of 2024 and $529 million in the first three months of 2023. The first quarter 2024 dividend of $0.425 per share, declared on February 2, 2024 for shareholders of record as of March 28, 2024, was paid on April 11, 2024. 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 2024 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 2025.
Guarantees
As discussed in Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, we enter into third-party guarantees primarily to cover the long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of these transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no material third-party guarantees recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Guarantees do not have, and we do not expect them to have, a material effect on our liquidity.
Debt
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. As such, we may issue commercial paper or secure other forms of financing throughout the year to meet short-term working capital or other financing needs.
At its December 2023 meeting, our Board of Directors approved a new $2 billion long-term financing authorization that replaced the prior long-term financing authorization of $2 billion. As of March 31, 2024, $1.45 billion of the long-term financing authorization remained available.
Our total debt was $19.1 billion as of March 31, 2024 and $19.4 billion as of December 31, 2023. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 0.40 at March 31, 2024 and 0.41 at December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, the weighted-average term of our outstanding long-term debt was 7.7 years. Our average daily commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $1.0 billion in the first three months of 2024 and $2.8 billion in the first three months of 2023.
One of our subsidiaries, Mondelez International Holdings Netherlands B.V. (“MIHN”), has outstanding debt. The operations held by MIHN generated approximately 74.2% (or $6.9 billion) of the $9.3 billion of consolidated net revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The operations held by MIHN represented approximately 75.8% (or $21.6 billion) of the $28.5 billion of net assets as of March 31, 2024.
Refer to Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, for additional information on our debt and debt covenants.
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 2024, the primary drivers of the increase in our aggregate commodity costs were higher cocoa, sugar, nuts, and other ingredient costs, as well as unfavorable year-over-year currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, partially offset by lower, dairy, edible oils, grains, energy and packaging costs. While the costs of our principal raw materials fluctuate, generally we believe there will continue to be an adequate supply of the raw materials we use and that they will broadly remain available.
A number of external factors such as the current macroeconomic environment, including global inflation, effects of geopolitical uncertainty, climate and weather conditions, commodity, transportation and labor market conditions, exchange rate volatility and the effects of local and global regulations, governmental agricultural or other programs affect the availability and cost of raw materials and agricultural materials used in our products. In particular, the
40 | | |||||||
supply of cocoa is exposed to many of these factors, including climate change and weather events, local regulations in cocoa-producing countries, and global regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (which requires companies to ensure that the products they place on the EU market or export from it are not associated with deforestation). These factors could impact the supply of cocoa, which could potentially limit our ability to produce our products and significantly impact profitability.
During the first three months of 2024, price volatility and the higher aggregate cost environment increased due to international supply chain and labor market disruptions and generally higher commodity, transportation and labor costs. We expect these conditions to continue to impact our aggregate commodity costs. In particular, we expect to face higher cocoa costs in the near- and medium-term due to these factors. For example, the market price for cocoa beans on the Intercontinental Exchange in London was 283% higher on the last trading day of the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same day in the first quarter of 2023 and it is likely that prices will remain elevated for some time. It is possible that we may not be able to increase prices sufficiently to fully cover the incremental costs of cocoa prices in this environment and/or our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in cocoa costs, which could result in a significant impact on our profitability.
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. Our commodity procurement practices are intended to mitigate price volatility and provide visibility to future costs, but also may potentially limit our ability to benefit from possible future price decreases. Additionally, our costs for major raw materials will not necessarily reflect market price fluctuations because of our forward purchasing and hedging practices. 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.
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 and estimates are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, respectively, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Also refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation, in this report.

There may be other factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this report except as required by applicable law or regulation. In addition, historical, current and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.
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
42 | | |||||||
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 and 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 along with a discussion of 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 (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures (2), short-term distributor agreements related to the sale of business (3) and currency rate fluctuations (4). 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 Organic Net Revenue growth from emerging markets and developed markets, and these underlying measures are also reconciled to U.S. GAAP above.
•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, Türkiye, Kazakhstan, 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 (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) excluding the impacts of the Simplify to Grow Program (5); gains or losses (including non-cash impairment charges) on goodwill and intangible assets; divestiture (2) or acquisition gains or losses, divestiture-related costs (6), acquisition-related costs (7), and acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments (8); inventory step-up charges (9); the operating results of divestitures (2); operating results from short-term distributor agreements related to the sale of a business (3); remeasurement of net monetary position (10); mark-to-market impacts from commodity, forecasted currency and equity method investment transaction derivative contracts (11); impact from resolution of tax matters (12); 2017 malware incident net recoveries; incremental costs due to the war in Ukraine (13); impact from the European Commission legal matter (14); and impact from pension participation changes (15). 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 (4). We believe these measures provide improved comparability of underlying operating results.
•“Adjusted EPS” is defined as diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) 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; gains or losses on interest rate swaps no longer designated as accounting cash flow hedges due to changed financing and hedging plans; mark-to-market unrealized gains or losses and realized gains or losses from marketable securities (16); initial impacts from enacted tax law changes (17); and gains or losses on equity method investment transactions including impairments. Similarly, within Adjusted EPS, our equity method investment net earnings exclude our proportionate share of our investee's significant operating and non-operating items (18). We also evaluate growth in our Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis (4). We believe Adjusted EPS provides improved comparability of underlying operating results.
(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. Beginning in Q1 2024, due to a significant devaluation of the Argentinean peso that occurred in December 2023 and the resulting distortion it would cause on our non-GAAP constant currency growth rate measures, we now exclude the
43 | | |||||||
impact of pricing in excess of 26% year-over-year ("extreme pricing") in Argentina, which is the level at which hyperinflation generally occurs cumulatively over a 3-year period. We have excluded the impact of extreme pricing in Argentina from our calculation of Organic Net Revenue, Organic Net Revenue growth and other non-GAAP financial constant currency growth measures with a corresponding adjustment to changes in currency exchange rates. We made this change on a prospective basis due to the distorting effect expected in the current period and future periods following the Argentinian peso devaluation that occurred in December 2023 and did not revise our historical non-GAAP constant currency growth measures.
(2)Divestitures include completed sales of businesses, exits of major product lines upon completion of a sale or licensing agreement, the partial or full sale of an equity method investment and changes from equity method investment accounting to accounting for marketable securities. As we record our share of JDE Peet’s ongoing earnings on a one-quarter lag basis, any JDE Peet’s ownership reductions are reflected as divestitures within our non-GAAP results the following quarter.
(3)In the fourth quarter of 2023, we began to exclude the operating results from short-term distributor agreements that have been executed in conjunction with the sale of a business. We exclude this item to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.
(4)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. Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, we also now include within our currency-related impacts a corresponding adjustment associated with the impact of extreme pricing in Argentina.
(5)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.
(6)Divestiture-related costs, which includes costs incurred in relation to the preparation and completion (including one-time costs such as severance related to elimination of stranded costs) of our divestitures as defined in footnote (2), also includes costs incurred associated with our publicly announced processes to sell businesses. We exclude these items to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.
(7)Acquisition-related costs, which includes transaction costs such as third party advisor, investment banking and legal fees, also includes one-time compensation expense related to the buyout of non-vested ESOP shares and realized gains or losses from hedging activities associated with acquisition funds. We exclude these items to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.
(8)Acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments include one-time costs related to the integration of acquisitions as well as any adjustments made to the fair market value of contingent compensation liabilities that have been previously booked for earn-outs related to acquisitions that do not relate to employee compensation expense. We exclude these items to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.
(9)In the third quarter of 2022, we began to exclude the one-time inventory step-up charges associated with acquired companies related to the fair market valuation of the acquired inventory. We exclude this item to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.
(10)In connection with our applying highly inflationary accounting (refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation) for Argentina (beginning in the third quarter of 2018) and Türkiye (beginning in the second quarter of 2022), we exclude the related remeasurement gains or losses related to remeasuring net monetary assets or liabilities denominated in the local currency to the U.S. dollar during the periods presented and the realized gains and losses from derivatives that mitigate the foreign currency volatility related to the remeasurement of the respective net monetary assets or liabilities during the periods presented.
(11)We exclude unrealized gains and losses (mark-to-market impacts) from outstanding commodity and forecasted currency and equity method investment transaction derivatives from our non-GAAP earnings measures. The mark-to-market impacts of commodity and forecasted currency transaction derivatives are excluded 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 make 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 exclude equity method investment transaction derivative contract settlements as they represent protection of value for future divestitures.
(12)See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, in this report, and Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(13)In February 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine and we stopped our production and closed our facilities in Ukraine for a period of time due to damage incurred to our facilities during the invasion. We began to incur incremental costs directly related to the war including asset impairments, such as property and inventory losses, higher expected allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable and committed compensation. We have isolated and exclude these costs and related impacts as well as subsequent recoveries from our operating results to facilitate evaluation and comparisons of our ongoing results. Incremental costs related to increasing operations in other primarily European facilities are not included with these costs.
(14)In the fourth quarter of 2022, we began to exclude the impact from the European Commission legal matter. In November 2019, the European Commission informed us that it initiated an investigation into our alleged infringement of European Union competition law through certain practices allegedly restricting cross-border trade within the European Economic Area. On January 28, 2021, the European Commission announced it had taken the next procedural step in its investigation and opened formal proceedings. We have been cooperating with the investigation and are currently engaged in discussions with the European Commission in an effort to reach a negotiated, proportionate resolution to this matter. As of December 31. 2022, we recorded an estimate of the possible cost to resolve this matter. Due to the unique nature of this matter, we believe it to be infrequent and unusual and therefore exclude it to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods. Refer to Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information.
(15)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 10, Benefit Plans, for additional information on the multiemployer pension plan withdrawal.
(16)In the first quarter of 2023, we began to exclude mark-to-market unrealized gains or losses, as well as realized gains or losses, associated with our marketable securities from our non-GAAP earnings measures. These marketable securities gains or losses are not indicative of underlying operations and are excluded to better facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating performance across periods.
44 | | |||||||
(17)We have excluded the initial impacts from enacted tax law changes. Initial impacts include items such as the remeasurement of deferred tax balances and the transition tax from the 2017 U.S. tax reform. We exclude initial impacts from enacted tax law changes from our Adjusted EPS as they do not reflect our ongoing tax obligations under the enacted tax law changes.
(18)We have excluded our proportionate share of our equity method investees’ significant operating and non-operating items such as acquisition and divestiture-related costs, restructuring program costs and initial impacts from enacted tax law changes, 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 significant operating and non-operating items 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’ significant operating and non-operating 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 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 measures. A limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they exclude items 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 tables that reconcile U.S. GAAP reported figures to the non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q, which can be found above under Consolidated Results of Operations.
45 | | |||||||
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. Additionally, 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. 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 9, Financial Instruments and for additional information on our debt activity, see Note 8, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements.
For additional information on our strategies, policies and practices on an ongoing basis, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
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, 2024. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024.
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, 2024. There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.2
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 180 days after the date of grant (“Grant Date”) of the Option, or as otherwise determined by the Committee, and provided the Option is not otherwise accounted for, or included in, the Optionee’s severance or retirement arrangement with the Mondelēz Group and the Optionee timely executes a general release and waiver of claims in a form and manner determined by the Company in its sole discretion, then this Option will continue to vest and become exercisable as identified on the Schedule as if the Optionee’s employment had not terminated.
3. Exercisability Upon Termination of Employment from the Mondelēz Group. During the period commencing on the first date that the Vesting Requirements are satisfied (or, such earlier date determined 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
1
February 27, 2024
date the market is open prior to the Expiration Date), this Option may be exercised in whole or in part with respect to such Option Shares, subject to the following provisions:
(a)In the event that the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of Retirement, death or Disability, such Option may be exercised on or prior to the Expiration Date;
(b)If employment is terminated by the Optionee (other than by Retirement, death or Disability), such Option may be exercised until the close of the market 90 days from the effective date of termination (the “90-Day Period”) (or if the market is closed on such date, the close of the market on the last date the market is open prior to the expiration of the 90-Day Period);
(c)If, other than by death, Disability or Retirement, the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Mondelēz Group without Cause for any reason (even if such termination constitutes unfair dismissal under the employment laws of the country where the Optionee resides or if the Optionee’s termination is later determined to be invalid and/or his or her employment is reinstated) or in the event of any other termination of employment caused directly or indirectly by the Mondelēz Group, such Option may be exercised until the close of the market 12 months from the effective date of termination (the “12-Month Period”) (or if the market is closed on such date, the close of the market on the last date the market is open prior to the expiration of the 12-Month Period); and
(d)If the Optionee’s employment is involuntarily suspended or terminated by the Mondelēz Group for Cause, the Option shall be forfeited.
No provision of this paragraph 3 shall permit the exercise of any Option after the Expiration Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the Optionee’s employment shall be deemed to be terminated when he or she is no longer actively employed by the Mondelēz Group (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any). The Optionee shall not be considered actively employed during any period for which he or she is receiving, or is eligible to receive, salary continuation, notice period or garden leave payments, or other comparable benefits or through other such arrangements that may be entered into that give rise to separation or notice pay. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, leaves of absence shall not constitute a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions and unless otherwise determined by the Company, this Option may only be exercised on a day that the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Exchange”) is open. Accordingly, if the Expiration Date (or the expiration of the 90-Day Period and/or the 12-Month Period) is a day the Exchange is closed, the Expiration Date (or the expiration of the 90-Day Period and/or the 12-Month Period) shall be the immediately preceding day on which the Exchange is open.
4. Exercise of Option and Withholding Taxes. This Option may be exercised only in accordance with the procedures and limitations (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement) set forth in this paragraph 4, the Company’s Equity Grants Guide, as amended from time to time, or such other similar-type communication provided by the Company. Payment of the aggregate 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;
2
February 27, 2024
(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.
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes by considering statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including minimum rates or maximum rates applicable in the Optionee’s jurisdiction(s), in which case the Optionee may receive a
3
February 27, 2024
refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent shares of Common Stock or, if not refunded, the Optionee may be able to seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Optionee may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Option Shares, notwithstanding that a number of the Option Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items and/or hypothetical taxes due as a result of any aspect of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.
5. Cash-Out of Option. The Committee may elect to cash out all or a portion of the Option to be exercised pursuant to any method of exercise by paying the Optionee an amount in cash or Common Stock, or both, equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the exercise date less the 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 Company’s chief human resources officer, will not engage in any conduct in which the Optionee contributes his/her knowledge and skills, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as an executive, employer, employee, owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, agent, partner, director, stockholder, officer, volunteer, intern or any other similar capacity to a competitor or to an entity engaged in the same or similar business as the Mondelēz Group, including those engaged in the business of production, sale or marketing of snack foods (including, but not limited to gum, chocolate, confectionary products, biscuits or any other product or service the Optionee has reason to know has been under development by the Mondelēz Group during the Optionee’s employment with the Mondelēz Group). The Optionee will not engage in any activity that may require or inevitably require the Optionee’s use or disclosure of the Mondelēz Group’s confidential information, proprietary information and/or trade secrets;
2.to protect the Mondelēz Group’s investment in its employees and to ensure the long-term success of the business, the Optionee, without the express written permission of the Company’s chief human resources officer, will not directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit, or induce the termination of employment of any employee of the Mondelēz Group; and
3.to protect the Mondelēz Group’s investment in its development of goodwill and customers and to ensure the long-term success of the business, the Optionee will not directly or indirectly solicit (including, but not limited to, e-mail, regular mail, express mail, telephone, fax, instant message, SMS text messaging and social media) or attempt to directly or indirectly solicit, contact or meet with the current or prospective customers of the Mondelēz Group for the purpose of offering or accepting goods or services similar to or competitive with those offered by the Mondelēz Group.
4
February 27, 2024
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
5
February 27, 2024
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.
(e)The Optionee is hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney before entering into the covenants outlined in this Section 6. The Optionee acknowledges that prior to acceptance of this Agreement, the Optionee has been advised by the Company of the Optionee's right to seek independent advice from an attorney of the Optionee's own selection regarding this Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon him or her pursuant to this Section 6. The Optionee acknowledges that they have entered into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of the provisions of this Agreement after being given the opportunity to consult with counsel. The Optionee further represents that in entering into this Agreement, the Optionee is not relying on any statements or representations made by any of the Company's directors, officers, employees or agents which are not expressly set forth herein, and that the Optionee is relying only upon their own judgment and any advice provided by the Optionee's attorney. The Optionee acknowledges he or she has been provided at minimum 14 calendar days to review the provisions contained herein but may voluntarily waive this period and sign prior to the 14 calendar day period lapsing.
(f)For purposes of this Section 6, the Company and any member of the Mondelēz Group shall be deemed to be third-party beneficiaries with the right to seek enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 6. Further, for purposes of this Section 6, references to acting directly or indirectly include acting jointly with or through another person.
7. Clawback Policy/Forfeiture. The Optionee understands and agrees that in the Committee's sole discretion, the Company may cancel all or part of the Option or require repayment by the Optionee to the Company of all or part of any cash payment or shares of Common Stock acquired at exercise pursuant to any recovery, recoupment, clawback and/or other forfeiture policy maintained by the Company, including the Company’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, the Company’s Compensation Recoupment Policy, and a violation of paragraph 6 above, from time to time. In addition, any payments or benefits the Optionee may receive hereunder shall be subject to repayment or forfeiture as may be required to comply with the requirements under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Exchange Act, rules promulgated by the Commission, any other applicable law or any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, as may be in effect from time to time. In connection with the enforcement of such clawback policies, the Optionee hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall have the right to reduce, cancel, or withhold against outstanding, unvested, vested, or future cash or equity-based compensation owed or due to the Optionee, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. No such recovery will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for Good Reason or
6
February 27, 2024
be deemed a “constructive termination” (or any similar term) as such terms are used in any agreement between the Optionee and the Company or under any severance plans applicable to the Optionee.
8.Transfer Restrictions. Unless otherwise required by law, this Option is not transferable or assignable by the Optionee in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution applicable to the Optionee and is exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee.
9.Adjustments. In the event of any merger, share exchange, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, distribution, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spinoff, 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 the Optionee the right to be retained in the employment of any member of the Mondelēz Group, affect the right of the Employer to terminate the Optionee’s employment, 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 Optionee. Further, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
7
February 27, 2024
(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;
8
February 27, 2024
(n)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;
(o)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
(p)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option or the recoupment of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan resulting from (a) 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); and/or (b) the application of any recoupment policy or any recovery or clawback policy otherwise required by law.
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 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC and its affiliates (“Morgan Stanley”), 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, Morgan Stanley, 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
9
February 27, 2024
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 Corporate Secretary, Mondelēz International, Inc., 905 West Fulton Market, Suite 200, Chicago, Illinois 60607, 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 either (i) 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 or (ii) the date the Optionee is age 65 or older with at least five (5) 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
10
February 27, 2024
different from the English version, the English version will control, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

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
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 2024. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Optionee should not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Optionee exercises the Option or sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Optionee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Optionee’s situation.
Finally, if the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, transfers employment after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Optionee in the same manner.
EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Data Privacy Notice. The following provision replaces in its entirety paragraph 13 of the Agreement:
If the Optionee is based in the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, the Optionee should note that Mondelēz International, Inc., with registered address at 905 West Fulton Market, Suite 200, Chicago, Illinois 60607, U.S.A. is the controller responsible for the processing of the Optionee's Personal Data (as defined below) 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 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC and its affiliates (“Morgan Stanley”), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Morgan Stanley 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 Morgan Stanley, 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.

Une traduction française du Plan et du présent Contrat pourra êtremise à la disposition de Optionee dès que raisonnablement possible à la demande de l' Optionee. Le Optionee comprend que, de temps à autre, des informations supplémentaires liées à l'offre du Plan peuvent être fournies en anglais et que ces informations peuvent ne pas être immédiatement disponibles en français. Cependant, sur demande, la Compagnie traduira en français les documents relatifs à l'offre du Plan dès que raisonnablement possible.

Non-Qualified Securities. All or a portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option may be "non-qualified securities" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Mondelēz Group shall provide the Optionee with additional information and/or appropriate notification regarding the characterization of the Option for Canadian income tax purposes as may be required by the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder.
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 Options must be reported-generally at a nil cost-if the $100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other specified foreign property the Optionee holds. If shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares of Common Stock. The ACB would normally equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at exercise for Options, but if the Optionee owns other shares of Company Common Stock, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee. It is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations.
CHINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following provisions apply to Optionees who are exclusively citizens of the People’s Republic of China and who reside in mainland China, and Optionees who are otherwise subject to exchange control restrictions applicable to employee stock plans in China, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
Cashless Exercise Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, due to legal restrictions in China, the Optionee will be required to pay the Grant Price by a cashless exercise through a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company, such that all shares of Common Stock subject to the exercised Option will be sold immediately upon exercise and the proceeds of sale, less the Grant Price, any Tax-Related Items and broker’s fees or commissions, will be remitted to the Optionee in accordance with any applicable exchange control laws and regulations.

If the Company changes its designated broker, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may transfer any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or administrative reasons. The Optionee agrees to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer.

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.

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.

If the Optionee exercises the Option by way of a cashless method of exercise, filing the appropriate foreign exchange form will not be required because no funds will be remitted out of Colombia. However, any sales proceeds related to shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to cashless exercise must still be transferred through the Colombian foreign exchange market. The Optionee is responsible for ensuring compliance with all exchange control laws in Colombia and the Optionee should consult his or her legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of the shares of Common Stock under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations.

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.

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. In particular, the Optionee may be required to obtain approval from
the South African Reserve Bank for payments (including shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the Plan) that the Optionee receives into accounts based outside of South Africa (e.g., a U.S. brokerage account). Since the exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, the Optionee should consult his or her legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of the shares of Common Stock under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations. As noted, it is the Optionee’s responsibility to comply with South African exchange control laws, and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

Tax Clearance Certificate for Cash Exercises.

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.

The Optionee is solely responsible for (a) establishing and maintaining the Optionee’s local brokerage account with a domestic broker in South Korea, and (b) all costs, fees and expenses associated with the establishment and maintenance of the Optionee’s local brokerage account with the domestic broker in South Korea.

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. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee or 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.

2
February 27, 2024
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:
(A)in the event that the Participant’s Retirement occurs because the Participant is age 65 or older with at least five (5) or more years of active continuous employment with the Mondelēz Group and the Retirement date occurs on or after the 181st day following the Grant Date, the Participant shall remain eligible to receive a LTI Award Payout with a Participation Period Factor equal to 100% (the LTI Award Payout will not be prorated) based on actual attainment of the Performance Goals, payable in accordance with the payment timing provisions set forth in paragraph 4(a)(iii) hereof.
(B)in the event that the Employee's Retirement occurs because the Employee is age 55 or older with at least ten (10) or more years of active continuous employment with the Mondelēz Group and the Retirement date occurs on or after the 181st day following the Grant Date, the Participant shall remain eligible to receive a prorated LTI Award Payout (calculated pursuant to paragraph 1(c) of this Agreement) based on actual attainment of the Performance Goals, payable in accordance with the payment timing provisions set forth in paragraph 4(a)(iii) hereof.
For the purposes of this section 3(b), any prorated LTI Award Payout 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.

5
February 27, 2024
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;

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
6
February 27, 2024
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.
(e)The Participant is hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney before entering into the covenants outlined in this Section 6. The Participant acknowledges that prior to acceptance of this Agreement, the Participant has been advised by the Company of the Participant's right to seek independent advice from an attorney of the Participant's own selection regarding this Agreement, including the
restraints imposed upon him or her pursuant to this Section 6. The Participant acknowledges that they have entered into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of the provisions of this Agreement after being given the opportunity to consult with counsel. The Participant further represents that in entering into this Agreement, the Participant is not relying on any statements or representations made by any of the Company's directors, officers, employees or agents which are not expressly set forth herein, and that the Participant is relying only upon their own judgment and any advice provided by the Participant's attorney. The Participant acknowledges he or she has been provided at minimum 14 calendar days to review the provisions contained herein but may voluntarily waive this period and sign prior to the 14 calendar day period lapsing.
(f)For purposes of this Section 6, the Company and any member of the Mondelēz Group shall be deemed to be third-party beneficiaries with the right to seek enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 6. Further, for purposes of this Section 6, references to acting directly or indirectly include acting jointly with or through another person.
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 the Company’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, the Company’s Compensation Recoupment Policy, and a violation of paragraph 6 above, from time to time. In addition, any payments or benefits the 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, any other applicable law, or any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, as may be in effect from time to time. In connection with the enforcement of such clawback policy, the Participant hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall have the right to reduce, cancel, or withhold against outstanding, unvested, vested, or future cash or equity-based compensation owed or due to the Participant, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. No such recovery will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for Good Reason or
7
February 27, 2024
be deemed a “constructive termination” (or any similar term) as such terms are used in any agreement between the Participant and the Company or under any severance plans applicable to the Participant.
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. 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. 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
8
February 27, 2024
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.
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.
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes by considering statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates in the Participant’s jurisdiction(s), including minimum or maximum applicable withholding 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 or, if not refunded, the Participant may be able to seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer.
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;
9
February 27, 2024
(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;
(j)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
(k)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the LTI Grant or the recoupment of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan resulting from (a) 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); and/or (b) the application of any recoupment policy or any recovery or clawback policy otherwise required by law.
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 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC and its affiliates (“Morgan Stanley”), 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, Morgan Stanley, 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
10
February 27, 2024
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 applicable to the Participant, 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 provide for the accrual of dividend equivalents on the outstanding LTI Grant which shall be subject to the same vesting restrictions and conditions as the LTI Grant and may be subject to such additional 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

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.

22.Code Section 409A. This LTI Grant is intended to be exempt from, or otherwise comply with, Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such intent.

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.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if the Award is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code (“Deferred Compensation”) and is settled on or on a date that is by reference to the Participant’s “separation from service” and the Participant is a “specified employee” (each within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and each determined by the Company it its sole discretion) on the date the Participant experiences a separation from service, then the Award (or applicable portion thereof) shall be settled on the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service, or, if earlier, on the date of the Participant’s death, to the extent such delayed payment is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A of the Code.

28.Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws. 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, including fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell Company securities. 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.

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
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 2024. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Participant should not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the 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, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Data Privacy Notice. The following provision replaces in its entirety paragraph 10 of the Agreement:
If the Participant is based in the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, the Participant should note that Mondelēz International, Inc., with registered address at 905 West Fulton Market, Suite 200, Chicago, Illinois 60607, U.S.A. is the controller responsible for the processing of the Participant's Personal Data (as defined below) 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 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC and its affiliates (“Morgan Stanley”), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Morgan Stanley 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 Morgan Stanley, 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.

Language. A French translation of the Plan and the Agreement can be made available to the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable upon the Participant’s request.. The Participant understands that, from time to time, additional information related to the offering of the Plan might be provided in English and such information may not be immediately available in French.

Une traduction française du Plan et du présent Contrat pourra êtremise à la disposition de Participant dès que raisonnablement possible à la demande de l'Participant. Le Participant comprend que, de temps à autre, des informations supplémentaires liées à l'offre du Plan peuvent être fournies en anglais et que ces informations peuvent ne pas être immédiatement disponibles en français. Cependant, sur demande, la Compagnie traduira en français les documents relatifs à l'offre du Plan dès que raisonnablement possible.
NOTIFICATIONS
Securities Law Information. The Participant 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 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 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 LTI Grant. 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.

It is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations.

The following provisions apply to Participants who are exclusively citizens of the People’s Republic of China and who reside in mainland China, and Participants who are otherwise subject to exchange control restrictions applicable to employee stock plans in China, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
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 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC. or such other broker as may be designated by the Company until the shares of Common Stock are sold through that broker. If the Company changes its designated broker, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may transfer any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or
administrative reasons. The Participant agrees to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer. 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.

Consequently, the Participant understands that the LTI Grant is made on the assumption and condition that the LTI Grant and the shares of Common Stock issued 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 Participant understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever will arise from the LTI Grant, which is gratuitous and discretionary, since the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, the Participant understands that the LTI Grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the LTI Grant made to the Participant shall be null and void.

(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 (including the country-specific terms set forth in the attached Appendix A), 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 the Employee’s death or termination due to Disability; or
(b)the Employee’s Retirement (as defined below in paragraph 21), or as otherwise determined by the Committee, and provided that (i) the Deferred Stock Units are not otherwise accounted for, or included in, the Employee’s severance or retirement arrangement with the Mondelēz Group; (ii) the Employee timely executes a general release and waiver of claims in a form and manner determined by the Company in its sole discretion; and (iii) the Retirement date occurs on or after the 181st day following the Grant Date then:
1
February 27, 2024
(1)in the event that the Employee's Retirement occurs because the Employee is age 65 or older with at least five (5) or more years of active continuous employment with the Mondelēz Group, the restrictions on the Deferred Stock Units shall lapse and the Deferred Stock Units shall become fully vested on the date of the Employee’s Retirement;
(2)in the event that the Employee's Retirement occurs because the Employee is age 55 or older with at least ten (10) or more years of active continuous employment with the Mondelēz Group, 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 clarity, in the event any of (i), (ii) or (iii) of this subsection 2(b) are not met then, unless determined otherwise by the Committee, the Employee shall forfeit all rights to the Deferred Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Deferred Stock Units.
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 be eligible to 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 unpaid Deferred Stock Units that have not been forfeited, which shall be subject to the same vesting restrictions as the underlying Deferred Stock Units and be paid following the vesting of such Deferred Stock Units within the timeframe set forth in Section 7 below.
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 7 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.
2
February 27, 2024
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, in which case, the Company may 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, except to the extent that such a sale would violate any U.S. federal securities law or other applicable law. 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; and/or (ii) satisfy the Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes arising from the vesting of the Deferred Stock Units 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.
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items and any hypothetical taxes by considering statutory withholding rates (in accordance with Section 14(d) of the Plan) or other withholding rates, including minimum rates or maximum rates applicable in the Employee’s jurisdiction(s), 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 or, if not refunded, the Employee may be able to seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Employee may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock

February 27, 2024
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, 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 and Section 9), 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, but not later than 30 days, following the vesting of the Deferred Stock Units pursuant to paragraph 1 or 2 (and with respect to the vesting of Deferred Stock Units pursuant to paragraph 1, in no event later than the last day of the calendar year in which such vesting occurred).
8.Special Payment Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if the Deferred Stock Units are considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and are settled on or on a date that is by reference to the Employee’s “separation from service” and the Employee is a “specified employee” (each within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and each determined by the Company it its sole discretion) on the date the Employee experiences a separation from service, then the Deferred Stock Units (or applicable portion thereof) shall be settled on the first business day of the seventh month following the Employee’s separation from service, or, if earlier, on the date of the Employee’s death, to the extent such delayed payment is required in order to avoid a
prohibited distribution under Section 409A 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:

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.
(e)The Employee is hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney before entering into the covenants outlined in this Section 9. The Employee acknowledges that prior to acceptance of this Agreement, the Employee has been advised by the Company of the Employee's right to seek independent advice from an attorney of the Employee's own selection regarding this Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon him or her pursuant to this Section 9. The Employee acknowledges that they have entered into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of the provisions of this Agreement after being given the opportunity to consult with counsel. The Employee further represents that in entering into this Agreement, the Employee is not relying on any statements or representations made by any of the Company's directors, officers, employees or agents which are not expressly set forth herein, and that the Employee is relying only upon their own judgment and any advice provided by the Employee's attorney. The Employee acknowledges he or she has been provided at minimum 14 calendar days to review the provisions contained herein but may voluntarily waive this period and sign prior to the 14 calendar day period lapsing.
(f)For purposes of this Section 9, the Company and any member of the Mondelēz Group shall be deemed to be third-party beneficiaries with the right to seek enforcement of any of the provisions
6
February 27, 2024
of this Section 9. Further, for purposes of this Section 9, references to acting directly or indirectly include acting jointly with or through another person.
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 the Company’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, the Company’s Compensation Recoupment Policy, and 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, any other applicable law, or any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, as may be in effect from time to time. In connection with the enforcement of such clawback policy, the Employee hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall have the right to reduce, cancel, or withhold against outstanding, unvested, vested, or future cash or equity-based compensation owed or due to the Employee, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. No such recovery will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for Good Reason or be deemed a “constructive termination” (or any similar term) as such terms are used in any agreement between the Employee and the Company or under any severance plans applicable to the Employee.
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:
(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 is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Grants, or benefits in lieu of Deferred Stock Units, even if Deferred Stock Units have been granted in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future Grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;
(d)the Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;
7
February 27, 2024
(e)the Deferred Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Deferred Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f)the Grant and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Deferred Stock Units, 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 Deferred Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Deferred Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Employee may provide as a director of any entity of the Mondelēz Group;
(i)the Employee understands and agrees that the Employee should consult with the Employee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Employee’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 Employee’s participation in the Plan or Employee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock;
(j)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Grant of Deferred Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Deferred Stock Units 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;
(k)the Deferred Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Deferred Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose;
(l)neither the Company, the Employer nor any member of the Mondelēz Group shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Employee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Deferred Stock Units or any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Employee upon vesting of the Deferred Stock Units or of any proceeds resulting from the Employee’s sale of such shares; and
(m)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Deferred Stock Units or the recoupment of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan resulting from (a) the termination of the Employee’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 Employee is employed or the terms of his or her employment agreement, if any); and/or (b) the application of any recoupment policy or any recovery or clawback policy otherwise required by law.
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
8
February 27, 2024
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 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC and its affiliates (“Morgan Stanley”), 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, Morgan Stanley, 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, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
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 Corporate Secretary, Mondelēz International, Inc., 905 West Fulton Market, Suite 200, Chicago, Illinois 60607, 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 is intended to be exempt from, or otherwise comply with, Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such intent. The Company reserves the right, to amend or modify this Agreement at any time, without the consent of the Employee or any other 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 Grant made hereunder, and Mondelēz Group shall not under any circumstances have any liability to any employee 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. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment and each series of payments under this Agreement, if any, shall be treated as a separate payment.
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 either (i) 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 or (ii) the date the Employee is age 65 or older with at least five (5) 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
11
February 27, 2024
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 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, including fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell Company securities. 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. In addition, the Employee agrees to take any and all actions required by the Company, any other entity in the Mondelēz Group or the local laws, rules and regulations in the Employee’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different) that may be required to comply with such laws, rules
12
February 27, 2024
and regulations. 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.

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
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 2024. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Employee should not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the 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 Grant Date, 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, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Data Privacy Notice. The following provision replaces in its entirety paragraph 14 of the Agreement:
If the Employee is based in the European Union (“EU”), the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, the Employee should note that Mondelēz International, Inc., with registered address at 905 West Fulton Market, Suite 200, Chicago, Illinois 60607, U.S.A. is the controller responsible for the processing of the Employee's Personal Data (as defined below) 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 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), an independent service provider based in the United States which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

Language. A French translation of the Plan and the Agreement can be made available to the Employee as soon as reasonably practicable upon the Employee’s request. The Employee understands that, from time to time, additional information related to the offering of the Plan might be provided in English and such information may not be immediately available in French. However, upon request, the Company will translate into French documents related to the offering of the Plan as soon as reasonably practicable.
Une traduction française du Plan et du présent Contrat pourra êtremise à la disposition de Employé(e) dès que raisonnablement possible à la demande de l'Employé.

Cependant, sur demande, la Compagnie traduira en français les documents relatifs à l'offre du Plan dès que raisonnablement possible.
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 Company Common Stock, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock owned by the Employee. It is the Employee’s responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations.

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 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.

In either case, the Employee must file Tax Form 1929 by July 1 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 exclusively citizens of the People’s Republic of China and who reside in mainland China, and Employees who are otherwise subject to exchange control restrictions applicable to employee stock plans in China, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
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 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) or such other broker as may be designated by the Company until the shares of Common Stock are sold through that broker. If the Company changes its designated broker, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may transfer any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or administrative reasons. The Employee agrees to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer. 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.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Payment after Vesting. The following provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:
Due to regulatory requirements in India, the Company reserves the right to require that the Employee sell all shares of Common Stock delivered to the Employee, either immediately upon receipt of such shares or upon the Employee’s termination of employment from the Mondelēz Group. In this regard, the Employee agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with any such mandatory sale of shares of Common Stock (on the Employee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), and the Employee expressly authorizes the designated broker to complete the sale of such shares. The Employee also agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the designated broker) to effectuate the sale of the shares of Common Stock and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to such matters, provided that the Employee shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. The Employee acknowledges that the designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares of Common Stock at any particular price. Due to fluctuations in the shares of Common Stock price and/or applicable exchange rates between the date the shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Employee
and (if later) the date on which the shares of Common Stock are sold, the amount of proceeds ultimately distributed to the v may be more or less than the market value of the shares of Common Stock on the relevant vesting date or the date on which such shares are delivered to the Employee. Upon the sale of the shares of Common Stock, the cash proceeds from the sale of shares (less any applicable Tax-Related Items) will be delivered to the Employee in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
