Note 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Basis of Consolidation

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the SEC and U.S. GAAP for interim reporting. Under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required for annual financial statements can be condensed or omitted. The Company is responsible for the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the 2018 Form 10-K. Refer to the Summary of Abbreviated Terms at the end of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the document.

Business Segment Information

The Company operates in a single segment engaged in the discovery, development, licensing, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. A global research and development organization and supply chain organization are responsible for the discovery, development, manufacturing and supply of products. Regional commercial organizations market, distribute and sell the products. The business is also supported by global corporate staff functions. The determination of a single segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the chief executive officer for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting future periods. For further information on product and regional revenue, see “—Note 2. Revenue.”

Use of Estimates and Judgments

Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Accordingly, the results and trends in these unaudited consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of full year operating results. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of management estimates, judgments and assumptions. The most significant assumptions are estimates used in determining sales rebate and return accruals; legal contingencies; income taxes; and pension and postretirement benefits. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Accrued liabilities, Deferred income and Income taxes payable previously presented separately in Total Current Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets are now presented as Accrued and other current liabilities. Deferred income and Pension and other liabilities previously presented separately in Total Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets are now presented as Other non-current liabilities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Leases

Amended guidance for lease accounting was adopted on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method with the cumulative effect of the change recognized in retained earnings in the period of adoption. The new guidance requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability initially measured at the present value of future lease payments. The cumulative effect of the accounting change was not material. The Company elected the package of practical expedients upon adoption and will apply the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for new and modified leases commencing after adoption. In addition, the Company applied the short-term lease recognition exemption for leases with terms at inception not greater than 12 months. The amended guidance does not materially impact the Company’s results of operations other than recognition of the operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

Amended guidance that simplifies the recognition and measurement of a goodwill impairment loss by eliminating Step 2 of the quantitative goodwill impairment test was adopted prospectively in the first quarter of 2019. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value up to the amount of its allocated goodwill. The adoption of the amended guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations.


6




Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Financial Instruments - Measurement of Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Entities will be required to use a forward-looking estimated loss model. Available-for-sale debt security credit losses will be recognized as allowances rather than a reduction in amortized cost. The guidance is effective January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted in 2019 on a modified retrospective approach. The amended guidance will not have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations.

Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was $78 million and $341 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $97 million and $398 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, consisting primarily of royalties for out-licensing arrangements and revised estimates for gross-to-net adjustments related to prior period sales. Contract assets were not material at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Note 3. ALLIANCES

The Company enters into collaboration arrangements with third parties for the research, development, manufacturing and/or commercialization of certain products. Although each of these arrangements is unique in nature, both parties are active participants in the operating activities of the collaboration and exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the commercial success of the activities. The Company may either in-license intellectual property owned by the other party or out-license its intellectual property to the other party. These arrangements can cover a single investigational compound or commercial product or multiple compounds and/or products in various life cycle stages. The rights and obligations of the parties can be global or limited to geographic regions. The Company refers to these collaborations as alliances and its partners as alliance partners.

Selected financial information pertaining to the Company's alliances was as follows, including net product sales when the Company is the principal in the third-party customer sale for products subject to the alliance. Expenses summarized below do not include all amounts attributed to the activities for the products in the alliance, but only the payments between the alliance partners or the related amortization if the payments were deferred or capitalized.

UPSA Business

In the third quarter of 2019, the Company sold its UPSA consumer health business, including the shares of UPSA SAS and BMS's assets and liabilities relating to the UPSA product portfolio. The transaction was accounted for as the sale of a business. The UPSA business was treated as a single disposal group held-for-sale as of December 31, 2018.

Assets Held-For-Sale

Manufacturing Operations

In the second quarter of 2019, the Company agreed to sell its manufacturing and packaging facility in Anagni, Italy to Catalent for approximately $50 million. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2019 subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions and will be accounted for as a sale of a business. Catalent will provide certain manufacturing and packaging services for the Company for a period of time subsequent to closing. The business was accounted for as held-for-sale and its assets were reduced to the estimated relative fair value resulting in a $113 million impairment charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 that was included in Cost of products sold. Assets were reclassified to assets held-for-sale as of September 30, 2019 and included within Prepaid expenses and other. Liabilities were reclassified to liabilities related to assets held-for-sale and included within Accrued and other current liabilities.

Note 6. RESTRUCTURING

In October 2016, the Company announced a restructuring plan to evolve and streamline its operating model. The majority of the charges are expected to be incurred through 2020, range between $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion and consist of employee termination benefit costs, contract termination costs, plant and equipment accelerated depreciation, impairment charges and other shutdown costs associated with early manufacturing and R&D site exits. Cash outlays in connection with these actions are expected to be approximately 40% to 50% of the total charges. Charges of approximately $1.3 billion have been recognized for these actions since the announcement. Restructuring charges are recognized upon meeting certain criteria, including finalization of committed plans, reliable estimates and discussions with local works councils in certain markets.

Employee workforce reductions were approximately 100 and 600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Jurisdictional tax rates and other tax impacts attributed to pension settlement charges, gain on sale of the UPSA business divestiture and other specified items decreased the effective tax rate by 13.1% and 3.6% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. These items decreased the effective tax rate by 1.5% and 0.8% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The tax impact of these discrete items are reflected immediately and are not considered in estimating the annual effective tax rate. Additional changes to the effective tax rate may occur in future periods due to various reasons including pretax earnings mix, tax reserves, cash repatriations and revised interpretations of the relevant tax code.

The Company is currently under examination by a number of tax authorities, which have proposed or are considering proposing material adjustments to tax positions for issues such as transfer pricing, certain tax credits and the deductibility of certain expenses. It is reasonably possible that new issues will be raised by tax authorities, which may require adjustments to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits; however, an estimate of such adjustments cannot reasonably be made at this time. Tax reserve releases due to lapse of statutes were $81 million and $49 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.


11




It is also reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2019 could decrease in the range of approximately $300 million to $340 million in the next twelve months as a result of the settlement of certain tax audits and other events. The expected change in unrecognized tax benefits may result in the payment of additional taxes, adjustment of certain deferred taxes and/or recognition of tax benefits. It is reasonably possible that new issues will be raised by tax authorities that may increase unrecognized tax benefits; however, an estimate of such increases cannot reasonably be made at this time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for all open tax years by tax jurisdiction.

Qualifying Hedges and Non-Qualifying Derivatives

Cash Flow Hedges — Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge certain forecasted intercompany inventory purchases and sales transactions and certain foreign currency transactions. The fair value for contracts designated as cash flow hedges are temporarily reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and included in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Upon adoption of the amended guidance for derivatives and hedging in the first quarter of 2018, the entire change in fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in the derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges component of Other Comprehensive (Loss)/Income. The net gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts is expected to be reclassified to net earnings (primarily included in Cost of products sold) within the next 12 months. The notional amount of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was primarily attributed to the euro of $921 million and Japanese yen of $546 million at September 30, 2019.

The earnings impact related to discontinued cash flow hedges and hedge ineffectiveness was not material during all periods presented. Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued when the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring within 60 days after the originally forecasted date or when the hedge is no longer effective. Assessments to determine whether derivatives designated as qualifying hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items are performed at inception and on a quarterly basis. Foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are used to offset exposures in certain foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and earnings. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings as they occur.

Net Investment Hedges — Euro borrowings of €950 million ($1.0 billion) at September 30, 2019 are designated as net investment hedges to hedge euro currency exposures of the net investment in certain foreign affiliates and are recognized in long-term debt. The effective portion of foreign exchange gain on the remeasurement of euro debt was $43 million and $10 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, and were recorded in the foreign currency translation component of Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) with the related offset in Long-term debt.

In January 2018, the Company entered into $300 million of cross-currency interest rate swap contracts maturing in December 2022 designated to hedge Japanese yen currency exposures of the Company's net investment in its Japan subsidiary. Contract fair value changes are recorded in the foreign currency translation component of Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) with a related offset in Other assets or Other non-current liabilities.


13




Fair Value Hedges — Fixed to floating interest rate swap contracts are designated as fair value hedges and used as an interest rate risk management strategy to create an appropriate balance of fixed and floating rate debt. The contracts and underlying debt for the hedged benchmark risk are recorded at fair value. The effective interest rate for the contracts is one-month LIBOR (2.0% as of September 30, 2019) plus an interest rate spread of 4.6%. Gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of the underlying debt attributable to the hedged benchmark interest rate risk are recorded in interest expense with an associated offset to the carrying value of debt. Since the specific terms and notional amount of the swap are intended to match those of the debt being hedged, all changes in fair value of the swap are recorded in interest expense with an associated offset to the derivative asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet. As a result, there was no net impact in earnings. When the underlying swap is terminated prior to maturity, the fair value adjustment to the underlying debt is amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.

Following the announcement of the Company's pending acquisition of Celgene, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swap option contracts, with a total notional value of $7.6 billion, to hedge future interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of long-term debt to fund the pending Celgene acquisition. In April 2019, the Company entered into deal contingent forward starting interest rate swap contracts, with an aggregate notional principal amount of $10.4 billion, to hedge interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of long-term debt to fund the Celgene acquisition and terminated the forward starting interest rate swap option contracts. The deal contingent forward starting interest rate swap contracts were unwound upon the May 2019 issuance of the new notes, refer to “—Debt Obligations.”

In May 2019, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $19.0 billion of floating rate and fixed rate unsecured senior notes. The notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and the fixed rate notes are redeemable at any time, in whole, or in part, at varying specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest. All of the notes are subject to special mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest if the pending acquisition of Celgene is not completed by July 30, 2020 or the Company notifies the trustee in respect of the notes that it will not pursue the consummation of the Celgene acquisition.

As of September 30, 2019, BMS had four revolving credit facilities totaling $6.0 billion, which consisted of a 364-day $2.0 billion facility expiring in January 2020, a $1.0 billion facility expiring in January 2022 and two five-year $1.5 billion facilities that were extended to September 2023 and July 2024, respectively. The facilities provide for customary terms and conditions with no financial covenants and may be used to provide backup liquidity for the Company's commercial paper borrowings. The Company's $1.0 billion facility and its two $1.5 billion revolving facilities are extendable annually by one year on the anniversary date with the consent of the lenders. The Company's 364-day $2.0 billion facility can be renewed for one year on each anniversary date, subject to certain terms and conditions. No borrowings were outstanding under any revolving credit facility at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

In connection with the pending acquisition of Celgene, the Company entered into a bridge commitment letter that provided for up to $33.5 billion in a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility in January 2019. The Company terminated the bridge facility upon receipt of proceeds from the Company's issuance of $19.0 billion of new notes in May 2019.

The Company also entered into an $8.0 billion term loan credit agreement consisting of a $1.0 billion 364-day tranche, a $4.0 billion three-year tranche and a $3.0 billion five-year tranche in connection with the pending Celgene acquisition. The term loan is subject to customary terms and conditions and does not have any financial covenants. No amounts will be borrowed under the term loan prior to the closing of the pending acquisition of Celgene. If drawn upon, the proceeds under the term loan will be used to fund a portion of the cash to be paid in the pending acquisition of Celgene and the payment of related fees and expenses.

Note 13. LEASES

The Company leases facilities for office, research and development, and for storage and distribution purposes, comprising approximately 90% of the total lease obligation. Lease terms vary based on the nature of operations and the market dynamics in each country; however, all leased facilities are classified as operating leases with remaining lease terms between one year and 20 years. Most leases contain specific renewal options for periods ranging between one year and 10 years where notice to renew must be provided in advance of lease expiration or automatic renewals where no advance notice is required. Periods covered by an option to extend the lease were included in the non-cancellable lease term when exercise of the option was determined to be reasonably certain. Certain leases also contain termination options that provide the flexibility to terminate the lease ahead of its expiration with sufficient advance notice. Periods covered by an option to terminate the lease were included in the non-cancellable lease term when exercise of the option was determined not to be reasonably certain. Judgment is required in assessing whether renewal and termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company considers factors such as contractual terms compared to current market rates, leasehold improvements expected to have significant value, costs to terminate a lease and the importance of the facility to the Company’s operations. Costs determined to be variable and not based on an index or rate were not included in the measurement of real estate lease liabilities. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company's incremental borrowing rate was applied on a portfolio approach to discount its real estate lease liabilities.

The remaining 10% of the Company’s total lease obligation is comprised of vehicles used primarily by the Company’s sales force and an R&D facility operated by a third party under the Company's direction. Vehicle lease terms vary by country with terms generally between one year and 4 years.

Note 17. RETIREMENT BENEFITS

BMS sponsors defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans and termination indemnity plans for regular full-time employees. The principal defined benefit pension plan was the Bristol-Myers Squibb Retirement Income Plan (the “Plan”), which covered most U.S. employees. Future benefits related to service for this plan were eliminated in 2009. The Company contributed at least the minimum amount required by the ERISA. Plan benefits were based primarily on the participant’s years of credited service and final average compensation. As of September 30, 2019, remaining Plan assets consist primarily of fixed-income securities.

The net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans includes:

In December 2018, BMS announced plans to fully terminate the Plan. Pension obligations related to the Plan were to be distributed through a combination of lump sum payments to eligible Plan participants who elected such payments and through the purchase of group annuity contracts from wholly owned insurance subsidiaries of Athene Holding Ltd. (“Athene”). In the third quarter of 2019, $1.3 billion was distributed to participants who elected lump sum payments during the election window and a group annuity contract was purchased from Athene, which irrevocably assumed the obligation, for $2.4 billion for most of the remaining plan participants. These transactions resulted in a $1.5 billion non-cash pre-tax pension settlement charge in the third quarter of 2019. The remaining plan obligation of approximately $200 million is expected to be settled through the purchase of an additional group annuity contract from Athene in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Pension settlement charges were also recognized after determining that the annual lump sum payments will likely exceed the annual interest and service costs for the primary and certain other U.S. and international pension plans. The charges included the acceleration of a portion of unrecognized actuarial losses. Non-current pension liabilities were $426 million at September 30, 2019 and $427 million at December 31, 2018. Defined contribution plan expense in the U.S. was approximately $50 million and $140 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and approximately $50 million and $130 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Comprehensive medical and group life benefits are provided for substantially all U.S. retirees electing to participate in comprehensive medical and group life plans and to a lesser extent certain benefits for non-U.S. employees. The net periodic benefit credits were not material in both periods.

Note 18. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits, claims, government investigations and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These claims or proceedings can involve various types of parties, including governments, competitors, customers, suppliers, service providers, licensees, employees, or shareholders, among others. The resolution of these matters often develops over a long period of time and expectations can change as a result of new findings, rulings, appeals or settlement arrangements. The Company recognizes accruals for such contingencies when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These matters involve patent infringement, antitrust, securities, pricing, sales and marketing practices, environmental, commercial, contractual rights, licensing obligations, health and safety matters, consumer fraud, employment matters, product liability and insurance coverage. Legal proceedings that are material or that the Company believes could become material are described below.

Although the Company believes it has substantial defenses in these matters, there can be no assurance that there will not be an increase in the scope of pending matters or that any future lawsuits, claims, government investigations or other legal proceedings will not be material. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to assess the outcome of the respective litigation nor is it able to provide an estimated range of potential loss. Furthermore, failure to enforce the Company's patent rights would likely result in substantial decreases in the respective product revenues from generic competition.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Plavix* - Australia
As previously disclosed, Sanofi was notified that, in August 2007, GenRx Proprietary Limited (GenRx) obtained regulatory approval of an application for clopidogrel bisulfate 75mg tablets in Australia. GenRx, formerly a subsidiary of Apotex Inc. (Apotex), has since changed its name to Apotex. In August 2007, Apotex filed an application in the Federal Court of Australia (the Federal Court) seeking revocation of Sanofi’s Australian Patent No. 597784 (Case No. NSD 1639 of 2007). Sanofi filed counterclaims of infringement and sought an injunction. On September 21, 2007, the Federal Court granted Sanofi’s injunction. A subsidiary of the Company was subsequently added as a party to the proceedings. In February 2008, a second company, Spirit Pharmaceuticals Pty. Ltd., also filed a revocation suit against the same patent. This case was consolidated with the Apotex case, and a trial occurred in April 2008. On August 12, 2008, the Federal Court of Australia held that claims of Patent No. 597784 covering clopidogrel bisulfate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and taurocholate salts were valid. The Federal Court also held that the process claims, pharmaceutical composition claims, and claim directed to clopidogrel and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts were invalid. The Company and Sanofi filed notices of appeal in the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia (Full Court) appealing the holding of invalidity of the claim covering clopidogrel and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, process claims, and pharmaceutical composition claims which have stayed the Federal Court’s ruling. Apotex filed a notice of appeal appealing the holding of validity of the clopidogrel bisulfate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and taurocholate claims. A hearing on the appeals occurred in February 2009. On September 29, 2009, the Full Court held all of the claims of Patent No. 597784 invalid. In November 2009, the Company and Sanofi applied to the High Court of Australia (High Court) for special leave to appeal the judgment of the Full Court. In March 2010, the High Court denied the Company and Sanofi’s request to hear the appeal of the Full Court decision. The case was remanded to the Federal Court for further proceedings related to damages sought by Apotex. The Company and Apotex have settled the Apotex case, and the case was dismissed. The Australian government has intervened in this matter and is seeking maximum damages up to 449 million AUD ($303 million), plus interest, which would be split between the Company and Sanofi, for alleged losses experienced for paying a higher price for branded Plavix* during the period when the injunction was in place. The Company and Sanofi have disputed that the Australian government is entitled to any damages and the Australian government's claim is still pending and a trial was concluded in September 2017. The Company is expecting a decision in 2019.

Sprycel - Europe
In May 2013, Apotex, Actavis Group PTC ehf, Generics [UK] Limited (Mylan) and an unnamed company filed oppositions in the EPO seeking revocation of European Patent No. 1169038 (the ‘038 patent) covering dasatinib, the active ingredient in Sprycel. On January 20, 2016, the Opposition Division of the EPO revoked the ‘038 patent. In May 2016, the Company appealed the EPO’s decision to the EPO Board of Appeal. In February 2017, the EPO Board of Appeal upheld the Opposition Division’s decision, and revoked the ‘038 patent. Orphan drug exclusivity and data exclusivity for Sprycel in the EU expired in November 2016. The EPO Board of Appeal’s decision does not affect the validity of the Company's other Sprycel patents within and outside Europe, including different patents that cover the monohydrate form of dasatinib and the use of dasatinib to treat CML. Additionally, in February 2017, the EPO Board of Appeal reversed and remanded an invalidity decision on European Patent No. 1610780 and its claim to the use of dasatinib to treat CML, which the EPO’s Opposition Division had revoked in October 2012. In December 2018, the EPO’s Opposition Division upheld the validity of the patent directed to the use of dasatinib to treat CML, which expires in 2024. The Company intends to take appropriate legal actions to protect Sprycel.

Anti-PD-1 Antibody Patent Oppositions and Litigation
In September 2015, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Dana-Farber) filed a complaint in Massachusetts federal court seeking to correct the inventorship on up to six related U.S. patents directed to methods of treating cancer using PD-1 and PD-L1 antibodies. Specifically, Dana-Farber is seeking to add two scientists as inventors to these patents. In October 2017, Pfizer was allowed to intervene in this case alleging that one of the scientists identified by Dana-Farber was employed by a company eventually acquired by Pfizer during the relevant period. In February 2019, the Company settled the lawsuit with Pfizer. A bench trial in the lawsuit with Dana-Farber took place in February 2019. In May, the judge in the case issued an opinion ruling that the two scientists should be added as inventors to the patents. The decision has been appealed to the Federal Circuit. In June 2019, Dana Farber filed a new lawsuit in the District of Massachusetts against the Company seeking damages as a result of the court's decision adding the scientists as inventors.

Eliquis Patent Litigation - U.S.
In 2017, twenty-five generic companies sent the Company Paragraph-IV certification letters informing the Company that they had filed aNDAs seeking approval of generic versions of Eliquis. As a result, two Eliquis patents listed in the FDA Orange Book are being challenged: the composition of matter patent claiming apixaban specifically and a formulation patent. In April 2017, the Company, along with its partner Pfizer, initiated patent lawsuits under the Hatch-Waxman Act against all generic filers in federal district courts in Delaware and West Virginia. In August 2017, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted patent term restoration to the composition of matter patent, thereby restoring the term of the Eliquis composition of matter patent, which is the Company’s basis for projected LOE, from February 2023 to November 2026. The Company has settled lawsuits with a number of aNDA filers through September 2019. The settlements do not affect the Company’s projected LOE for Eliquis. A trial with the remaining aNDA filers is scheduled to begin October 31, 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

PRICING, SALES AND PROMOTIONAL PRACTICES LITIGATION

Plavix* State Attorneys General Lawsuits
The Company and certain Sanofi entities are defendants in consumer protection and/or false advertising actions brought by the attorneys general of Hawaii and New Mexico relating to the sales and promotion of Plavix*. The Hawaii matter is currently scheduled for trial in April 2020.

PRODUCT LIABILITY LITIGATION

The Company is a party to various product liability lawsuits. Plaintiffs in these cases seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss. As previously disclosed, in addition to lawsuits, the Company also faces unfiled claims involving its products.

Byetta*
Amylin, a former subsidiary of the Company, and Lilly are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Byetta*. To date, there are approximately 570 separate lawsuits pending on behalf of approximately 2,200 active plaintiffs (including pending settlements), which include injury plaintiffs as well as claims by spouses and/or other beneficiaries, in various courts in the U.S. The majority of these cases have been brought by individuals who allege personal injury sustained after using Byetta*, primarily pancreatic cancer, and, in some cases, claiming alleged wrongful death. The majority of cases are pending in federal court in San Diego in a MDL or in a coordinated proceeding in California Superior Court in Los Angeles (JCCP). In November 2015, the defendants' motion for summary judgment based on federal preemption was granted in both the MDL and the JCCP. In November 2017, the Ninth Circuit reversed the MDL summary judgment order and remanded the case to the MDL. In November 2018, the California Court of Appeal reversed the state court summary judgment order and remanded those cases to the JCCP for further proceedings. Amylin has product liability insurance covering a substantial number of claims involving Byetta* and any additional liability to Amylin with respect to Byetta* is expected to be shared between the Company and AstraZeneca.

Abilify*
The Company and Otsuka are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Abilify*. Plaintiffs allege Abilify* caused them to engage in compulsive gambling and other impulse control disorders. There have been over 2,000 cases filed in state and federal courts and additional cases are pending in Canada. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated the federal court cases for pretrial purposes in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida. On February 15, 2019, the Company and Otsuka entered into a master settlement agreement establishing a proposed settlement program to resolve all Abilify* compulsivity claims filed as of January 28, 2019 in the MDL as well as the various state courts, including California and New Jersey.

Onglyza*
The Company and AstraZeneca are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Onglyza*. Plaintiffs assert claims, including claims for wrongful death, as a result of heart failure or other cardiovascular injuries they allege were caused by their use of Onglyza*. As of September 2019, claims are pending in state and federal court on behalf of approximately 280 individuals who allege they ingested the product and suffered an injury. In February 2018, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered all federal cases to be transferred to an MDL in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. A significant majority of the claims are pending in the MDL. As part of the Company’s global diabetes business divestiture, the Company sold Onglyza* to AstraZeneca in February 2014 and any potential liability with respect to Onglyza* is expected to be shared with AstraZeneca.

SECURITIES LITIGATION

Since February 2018, two separate putative class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District for the Northern District of California and in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Giovanni Caforio, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Charles A. Bancroft and certain former and current executives of the Company. The case in California has been voluntarily dismissed. The remaining complaint alleges violations of securities laws for the Company’s disclosures related to the CheckMate-026 clinical trial in lung cancer. In September 2019, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss, but allowed the plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint. In October 2019, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The Company continues to believe these allegations are without merit and will continue to defend the matter.

OTHER LITIGATION

Acquisition of Celgene Litigation
Following the announcement of the Company's pending acquisition of Celgene, thirteen complaints were filed by Celgene shareholders in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking to enjoin the Company's pending acquisition of Celgene. The complaints in these actions name as defendants Celgene and the members of Celgene's Board of Directors. Five of these complaints also name the Company and Burgundy Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that was formed solely for the purpose of completing the pending acquisition of Celgene and will be merged with and into Celgene upon the completion of the acquisition, as defendants. Of the complaints naming the Company as a defendant, four are styled as putative class actions. The plaintiffs allege violations of various federal securities laws and breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the acquisition of Celgene by the Company. After the Company and Celgene released supplemental disclosures relating to the proposed acquisition in early April 2019, the plaintiffs in these cases agreed to dismiss their actions. As of June 30, 2019, all of these complaints have been dismissed, including all five complaints that named the Company and Burgundy Merger Sub, Inc. as defendants.

Separately, a fourteenth complaint styled as a putative class action was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on behalf of the Company's shareholders naming members of the Company's Board of Directors as defendants. This complaint alleges that each of the members of the Company's Board of Directors breached his or her fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders by failing to disclose material information about the pending acquisition. The lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed in April 2019.

Average Manufacturer Price Litigation
The Company is a defendant in a qui tam (whistleblower) lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in which the U.S. Government declined to intervene. The complaint alleges that the Company inaccurately reported its average manufacturer prices to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to lower what it owed. Similar claims have been filed against other companies. The case is currently scheduled for trial in January 2020.

HIV Medication Antitrust Lawsuits
The Company and several other manufacturers of HIV medications are defendants in related lawsuits brought by indirect purchasers in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that the defendants’ agreements to develop and sell fixed-dose combination products for the treatment of HIV, including Atripla* and Evotaz, violate antitrust laws. The Company has moved to dismiss the complaint.

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS

Like other pharmaceutical companies, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and other countries in which the Company operates. As a result, the Company, from time to time, is subject to various governmental inquiries and investigations. It is possible that criminal charges, substantial fines and/or civil penalties, could result from government investigations.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported, the Company is a party to several environmental proceedings and other matters, and is responsible under various state, federal and foreign laws, including CERCLA, for certain costs of investigating and/or remediating contamination resulting from past industrial activity at the Company’s current or former sites or at waste disposal or reprocessing facilities operated by third parties.

CERCLA Matters

With respect to CERCLA matters for which the Company is responsible under various state, federal and foreign laws, the Company typically estimates potential costs based on information obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or counterpart state or foreign agency and/or studies prepared by independent consultants, including the total estimated costs for the site and the expected cost-sharing, if any, with other “potentially responsible parties,” and the Company accrues liabilities when they are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company estimated its share of future costs for these sites to be $69.7 million at September 30, 2019, which represents the sum of best estimates or, where no best estimate can reasonably be made, estimates of the minimal probable amount among a range of such costs (without taking into account any potential recoveries from other parties). The amount includes the estimated costs for any additional probable loss associated with the previously disclosed North Brunswick Township High School Remediation Site.

NOTE 19. PENDING CELGENE ACQUISITION

On January 3, 2019, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive merger agreement under which it will acquire Celgene. Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by the respective Boards of Directors of the Company and Celgene, if the merger is completed, Celgene shareholders will receive one share of the Company's common stock and $50.00 in cash for each share of Celgene common stock held by them. Celgene shareholders will also receive one tradeable contingent value right (“CVR”) for each share of Celgene representing the right to receive $9.00 in cash, which is subject to the achievement of future regulatory milestones. Based on the closing price of a share of the Company's common stock on January 2, 2019, the most recent trading day prior to the date of the announcement, the merger consideration represented approximately $74 billion. The amount of consideration to be received by Celgene shareholders will fluctuate with changes in the price of shares of BMS common stock.

The Company expects to fund the anticipated cash portion of the merger consideration through a combination of available cash, including $18.8 billion of net proceeds raised in the May 2019 issuance of new notes, borrowings under the term loan established earlier in the year and short-term borrowings. The Company also announced plans to initiate a $7.0 billion accelerated share repurchase program following the closing of the Company's pending acquisition of Celgene, subject to Board of Directors’ approval.

The acquisition was approved by the Company’s and Celgene’s shareholders on April 12, 2019. The European Commission granted unconditional approval of the Celgene acquisition in July 2019 and the acquisition has been approved by all other requisite foreign jurisdictions. Consummation of the pending acquisition remains subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). With respect to the review of the pending acquisition pursuant to the HSR Act, the Company and Celgene on March 25, 2019 each received a request for additional information and documentary materials (also known as a “second request”) from the FTC in connection with its review. The effect of this request, which was issued under the HSR Act, is to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after the Company and Celgene have substantially complied with this request, unless the period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC. To allow the pending acquisition to close on a timely basis in light of concerns expressed by the FTC, Celgene entered into a purchase agreement with Amgen on August 26, 2019 under which Amgen would acquire the global rights to Otezla* for $13.4 billion. In connection with the divestiture and Celgene entering into the purchase agreement, the Company entered into a guarantee with Amgen under which it agreed to guarantee the full payment and performance of Celgene’s obligations under the purchase agreement. The pending Otezla* divestiture is subject to, among other things, the closing of the Celgene acquisition and the issuance by the FTC of a consent order requiring Celgene to divest Otezla* to Amgen. The Company continues to work constructively with the FTC to bring about the issuance of a consent order, which will permit the Celgene acquisition to proceed. Once the FTC issues the consent order and the other closing conditions are satisfied, the Company intends to close the pending acquisition of Celgene at the earliest possible date, which it currently expects to be before the end of 2019. The Company remains focused on executing a successful closing of the Celgene acquisition.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition is provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to enhance the understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company is a global specialty biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. Our strategy is to combine the resources, scale and capability of a pharmaceutical company with the speed and focus on innovation of the biotech industry. Our focus as a specialty biopharmaceutical company is on discovering, developing and delivering transformational medicines for patients facing serious diseases. Our four strategic priorities are to drive business performance, continue to further build a leading franchise in IO, maintain a diversified portfolio both within and outside of IO, and continue our disciplined approach to capital allocation, including establishing partnerships, collaborations and in-licensing or acquiring investigational compounds as an essential component of successfully delivering transformational medicines to patients. Refer to the Summary of Abbreviated Terms at the end of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the document.

On January 3, 2019, we announced that we entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Celgene. We expect that the pending acquisition will enable us to create a leading focused specialty biopharmaceutical company that is well positioned to address the needs of patients with cancer, inflammatory, immunologic or cardiovascular diseases through high-value innovation medicines and leading scientific capabilities. The acquisition was approved by our and Celgene’s respective shareholders on April 12, 2019. The European Commission granted unconditional approval of the Celgene acquisition in July 2019 and the acquisition has been approved by all other requisite foreign jurisdictions. The acquisition remains subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including review by the FTC. To allow the pending acquisition to close on a timely basis in light of concerns expressed by the FTC, Celgene entered into a purchase agreement with Amgen on August 26, 2019 under which Amgen would acquire the global rights to Otezla* for $13.4 billion. We continue to work constructively with the FTC to realize our goal of completing the Celgene acquisition before the end of 2019 while staying committed to delivering on our strategic priorities and preparing for an efficient integration with Celgene. Refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 19. Pending Celgene Acquisition” for further discussion on our pending acquisition of Celgene. Refer to “—Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a discussion of our financing arrangements in connection with the pending acquisition.

Our revenues increased by 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as a result of higher demand for Eliquis and Opdivo. The $0.45 increase in GAAP EPS primarily resulted from higher revenues, the UPSA business divestiture gain in 2019 and Nektar related charges in 2018, partially offset by pension settlement charges and Celgene related expenses in 2019. After adjusting for specified items, non-GAAP EPS increased $0.42 due to higher revenues.

Other revenues include royalties and alliance-related revenues for products not sold by our regional commercial organizations.
(b)
Foreign exchange impacts were derived by applying the prior period average currency rates to the current period sales.

U.S. revenues increased due to higher demand for Eliquis and Orencia in both periods and for Opdivo in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, partially offset by declines in established brands. The lower growth rate in the three months period compared to the nine month period was primarily due to Opdivo and Yervoy trends and higher Medicare Part D coverage gap cost share (from 50% in 2018 to 70% in 2019). Average net selling prices after discounts, charge-backs and rebates were 2% lower in the third quarter 2019 and 1% higher year-to-date and are expected to be roughly flat on a full year basis.

Europe revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand for Eliquis and Opdivo, partially offset by foreign exchange, lower demand for established brands and lower average net selling prices.

Rest of the World revenues increased in both periods due to higher demand for Opdivo, Eliquis and Yervoy, partially offset by foreign exchange.

No single country outside the U.S. contributed more than 10% of total revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018. Our business is typically not seasonal.

Reductions to provisions for product sales made in prior periods resulting from changes in estimates were $139 million and $103 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. GTN adjustments are primarily a function of product sales volume, regional and payer channel mix, contractual or legislative discounts and rebates. GTN adjustments are increasing at a higher rate than gross product sales due to higher U.S. Eliquis gross product sales, which has a relatively high GTN adjustment percentage as a result of higher Medicare Part D coverage gap cost share and competitive pressures to maintain its position on healthcare payer formularies allowing patients continued access through their medical plans.

Opdivo (nivolumab) — a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to the PD-1 on T and NKT cells that has been approved for several anti-cancer indications including bladder, blood, colon, head and neck, kidney, liver, lung, melanoma and stomach and continues to be investigated across other tumor types and disease areas.

U.S. revenues decreased in the third quarter 2019, and sequentially quarter-over-quarter, due to a smaller previously-treated advanced lung cancer market and increased competition for the Opdivo+Yervoy combination in kidney cancer. We expect this trend to continue until the market stabilizes or new indications are approved and launched.

U.S. revenues increased year-to-date due to higher demand in the first and second quarters of 2019 resulting from the second quarter 2018 approval of the Opdivo+Yervoy combination for kidney cancer and increased use in adjuvant melanoma.

International revenues increased due to higher demand as a result of approvals for additional indications and launches in new countries. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, revenues increased by 16% in the third quarter and 24% year-to-date.

Eliquis (apixaban) — an oral Factor Xa inhibitor targeted at stroke prevention in adult patients with NVAF and the prevention and treatment of VTE disorders.

U.S. revenues increased due to higher demand, partially offset by an increase in Medicare Part D coverage gap cost share in the third quarter 2019.
International revenues increased due to higher demand. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, revenues increased by 26% in the third quarter and 23% year-to-date.

Orencia (abatacept) — a fusion protein indicated for adult patients with moderate to severe active RA and PsA and is also indicated for reducing signs and symptoms in certain pediatric patients with moderately to severely active polyarticular JIA.

U.S. revenues increased due to higher demand and higher average net selling prices.
International revenues excluding foreign exchange impacts increased by 8% in the third quarter and 5% year-to-date.

Sprycel (dasatinib) — an oral inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinase indicated for the first-line treatment of patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML in chronic phase and the treatment of adults with chronic, accelerated, or myeloid or lymphoid blast phase CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy, including Gleevec* (imatinib meslylate).

U.S. revenues increased due to higher average net selling prices and higher demand.
International revenues excluding foreign exchange impacts increased by 6% in the third quarter and 7% year-to-date. We may experience a decline in European revenues due to generic competition.

Yervoy (ipilimumab) — a monoclonal antibody for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

U.S. revenues decreased in the third quarter 2019, and sequentially quarter-over-quarter, due to increased competition for the Opdivo+Yervoy combination for kidney cancer.

U.S revenues increased year-to-date due to higher demand in the first and second quarters of 2019 primarily due to the approval of the Opdivo+Yervoy combination for kidney cancer.

International revenues increased due to higher demand and from the approval of the Opdivo+Yervoy combination for melanoma and kidney cancer in Japan and certain European countries. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, revenues increased by 32% in the third quarter and 35% year-to-date.

Empliciti (elotuzumab) — a humanized monoclonal antibody for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

U.S. revenues increased due to the fourth quarter 2018 approval of Empliciti in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Baraclude (entecavir) — an oral antiviral agent for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B.

International revenues continued to decrease due to lower demand resulting from increased generic competition.

Other Brands — includes Sustiva, Reyataz, Daklinza and all other products that lost exclusivity in major markets, OTC brands and royalty revenue.

International revenues decreased primarily due to divestiture of the UPSA business and certain other brands and continued generic erosion.

Estimated End-User Demand

Pursuant to the SEC Consent Order described in our 2018 Form 10-K, we monitor inventory levels on hand in the U.S. wholesaler distribution channel and outside of the U.S. in the direct customer distribution channel. We are obligated to disclose products with levels of inventory in excess of one month on hand or expected demand, subject to a de minimis exception. Estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel in excess of one month on hand for the following products were not material to our results of operations as of the dates indicated. In the third quarter 2019, we sold our UPSA consumer health business, which included Dafalgan, Efferalgan and Fervex products. Below are international products that had estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel in excess of one month at June 30, 2019.

Dafalgan, an analgesic product sold principally in Europe, had 1.2 months of inventory on hand internationally at direct customers compared to also 1.2 months of inventory on hand at March 31, 2019. The level of inventory on hand was primarily due to the ordering patterns of pharmacists in France.

Efferalgan, an analgesic product sold principally in Europe, had 1.8 months of inventory on hand internationally at direct customers compared to 1.7 months of inventory on hand at March 31, 2019. The level of inventory on hand was primarily due to the ordering patterns of pharmacists in France.

Fervex, a cold and flu product, had 2.6 months of inventory on hand at direct customers compared to 3.1 months of inventory on hand at March 31, 2019. The level of inventory on hand was primarily due to the ordering patterns of pharmacists in France.

Perfalgan, an analgesic product, had 2.5 months of inventory on hand internationally at direct customers compared to 2.2 months of inventory on hand at March 31, 2019. The level of inventory on hand was primarily in the Gulf Countries due to extended delivery lead time.

In the U.S., we generally determine our months on hand estimates using inventory levels of product on hand and the amount of out-movement provided by our three largest wholesalers, which account for approximately 97% of total gross sales of U.S. products. Factors that may influence our estimates include generic competition, seasonality of products, wholesaler purchases in light of increases in wholesaler list prices, new product launches, new warehouse openings by wholesalers and new customer stockings by wholesalers. In addition, these estimates are calculated using third-party data, which may be impacted by their recordkeeping processes.

Our non-U.S. businesses have significantly more direct customers. Information on available direct customer product level inventory and corresponding out-movement information and the reliability of third-party demand information varies widely. We limit our direct customer sales channel inventory reporting to where we can influence demand. When this information does not exist or is otherwise not available, we have developed a variety of methodologies to estimate such data, including using historical sales made to direct customers and third-party market research data related to prescription trends and end-user demand. Given the difficulties inherent in estimating third-party demand information, we evaluate our methodologies to estimate direct customer product level inventory and to calculate months on hand on an ongoing basis and make changes as necessary. Factors that may affect our estimates include generic competition, seasonality of products, price increases, new product launches, new warehouse openings by direct customers, new customer stockings by direct customers and expected direct customer purchases for governmental bidding situations. As such, all of the information required to estimate months on hand in the direct customer distribution channel for non-U.S. business for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 is not available prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We will disclose any product with inventory levels in excess of one month on hand or expected demand for the current quarter, subject to a de minimis exception, in the next annual report on Form 10-K.

Cost of products sold increased due to higher royalties and profit sharing ($162 million in the third quarter and $589 million year-to-date) resulting primarily from higher Eliquis sales, a $113 million impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of assets held-for-sale to their estimated fair value in 2019 and higher product costs, partially offset by foreign exchange and lower start-up costs.

Marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased in the third quarter due to lower advertising, promotion, commercial and sales force expenses attributed to transformation initiatives and foreign exchange impact of 1% and decreased year-to-date due to foreign exchange impact of 2%.

Research and development increased in the third quarter due to continued investment of IO and other immunoscience development programs and decreased year-to-date due to Nektar related charges in 2018.

As discussed in further detail below, Other income (net) decreased in both periods primarily due to a $1.5 billion pension settlement charge, partially offset by a $1.2 billion gain on sale of the UPSA business. Equity investments fair value adjustments also contributed to the decreases in Other income (net) in the third quarter 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information, are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that are evaluated on an individual basis. These items are adjusted after considering their quantitative and qualitative aspects and typically have one or more of the following characteristics, such as being highly variable, difficult to project, unusual in nature, significant to the results of a particular period or not indicative of future operating results. Similar charges or gains were recognized in prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods including (1) acquisition and integration expenses, (2) restructuring costs, (3) accelerated depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, (4) R&D charges or other income resulting from upfront or contingent milestone payments in connection with the acquisition or licensing of third-party intellectual property rights, (5) divestiture gains or losses, (6) pension, legal and other contractual settlement charges, (7) interest expense on the new notes issued in May 2019 in connection with our pending acquisition of Celgene and interest income earned on the net proceeds of those notes and (8) debt redemption gains or losses, among other items. Deferred and current income taxes attributed to these items are also adjusted for considering their individual impact to the overall tax expense, deductibility and jurisdictional tax rates. We also provide international revenues for our priority products excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in Exhibit 99.2 to our Form 8-K filed on October 31, 2019 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Non-GAAP information is intended to portray the results of our baseline performance, supplement or enhance management, analysts and investors overall understanding of our underlying financial performance and facilitate comparisons among current, past and future periods. For example, non-GAAP earnings and EPS information is an indication of our baseline performance before items that are considered by us to not be reflective of our ongoing results. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators we use as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets and planning and forecasting for future periods. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings or diluted EPS prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held in the U.S. increased to approximately $31.9 billion at September 30, 2019 due to the $18.8 billion of net proceeds from the notes issued in May 2019. The net proceeds were invested in money market funds and will be used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Celgene acquisition. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with cash generated from operations and issuance of commercial paper in the U.S. as well as borrowing available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash needs for at least the next few years, which include dividends, capital expenditures, milestone payments, working capital and deemed repatriation transition tax. In addition, we expect to have sufficient cash available and borrowing capacity to fund the aggregate cash portion of the merger consideration to Celgene shareholders. We anticipate funding the cash consideration for the Celgene acquisition through a combination of available cash, borrowings under the term loan established earlier in the year and short-term borrowings.

Management continuously evaluates our capital structure to ensure that we are financed efficiently, which may result in the repurchase of common stock and debt securities, termination of interest rate swap contracts prior to maturity and issuance of debt securities. We repurchased 6.5 million shares of our common stock for $300 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The remaining share repurchase capacity under our stock repurchase program was $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2019. We are evaluating opportunities to enter the market and may make repurchases from time to time depending on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions and alternative uses of capital. We announced plans to initiate a $7.0 billion accelerated share repurchase program following the closing of the pending acquisition of Celgene, subject to Board of Director's approval and may under certain circumstances purchase CVRs issued in connection with the Celgene acquisition.

Dividend payments were $2.0 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Dividends declared per common share were $1.23 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Dividend decisions are made on a quarterly basis by our Board of Directors. The merger agreement prohibits us from declaring, setting aside or paying any dividend or other distribution other than our regular cash dividend in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in an amount not to exceed $0.41 per share per quarter. Annual capital expenditures were approximately $1.0 billion in 2018 and are expected to be approximately $800 million in 2019 and $600 million in 2020. We continue to expand our biologics manufacturing capabilities and other facility-related activities. For example, we have constructed a new large-scale biologics manufacturing facility in Ireland that will produce multiple therapies for our growing biologics portfolio when approved for commercial use in early 2020.

Our investment portfolio includes non-current marketable securities, which are subject to changes in fair value as a result of interest rate fluctuations and other market factors. Our investment policy establishes limits on the amount and time to maturity of investments with any institution. The policy also requires that investments are only entered into with corporate and financial institutions that meet high credit quality standards. Refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for further information.

Under our commercial paper program, we may issue a maximum of $5 billion unsecured notes that have maturities of not more than 366 days from the date of issuance. There were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2019.

As of September 30, 2019, we had four revolving credit facilities totaling $6.0 billion, which consisted of a 364-day $2.0 billion facility expiring in January 2020, a $1.0 billion facility expiring in January 2022 and two five-year $1.5 billion facilities that were extended to September 2023 and July 2024, respectively. The facilities provide for customary terms and conditions with no financial covenants and may be used to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings. Our $1.0 billion facility and our two $1.5 billion revolving facilities are extendable annually by one year on the anniversary date with the consent of the lenders. Our 364-day $2.0 billion facility can be renewed for one year on each anniversary date, subject to certain terms and conditions. No borrowings were outstanding under any revolving credit facility at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

In connection with our pending acquisition of Celgene, we entered into a bridge commitment letter that provided for up to $33.5 billion in a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility in January 2019, which would have been funded only to the extent certain anticipated credit agreements were not entered into and debt issuances were not completed prior to the completion of the acquisition. We terminated the bridge facility upon receipt of proceeds from our issuance of $19.0 billion of new notes in May 2019.

We also entered into an $8.0 billion term loan credit agreement consisting of a $1.0 billion 364-day tranche, a $4.0 billion three-year tranche and a $3.0 billion five-year tranche in connection with the pending Celgene acquisition. The term loan is subject to customary terms and conditions and does not have any financial covenants. No amounts will be borrowed under the term loan prior to the closing of the pending acquisition of Celgene. If drawn upon, the proceeds under the term loan will be used to fund a portion of the cash to be paid in the pending acquisition of Celgene and the payment of related fees and expenses.

In April 2019 we commenced an exchange offer for any and all outstanding notes issued by Celgene for up to $19.85 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes to be issued by us and cash. In conjunction with the offer to exchange the Celgene notes, we concurrently solicited consents to adopt certain proposed amendments to each of the indentures governing the Celgene notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in such indentures. In May 2019, we announced that the requisite number of consents had been received to adopt the proposed amendments with respect to all Celgene notes and that Celgene executed supplemental indentures to the Celgene indentures implementing the amendments, which were effective upon execution but will only become operative upon the settlement of the exchange offer and consent solicitations. As of October 29, 2019, approximately 88% of the total aggregate principal amount of Celgene notes have been validly tendered for notes to be issued by us since the exchange offer was commenced. The exchange offer and consent solicitations are conditioned upon the closing of the pending Celgene acquisition and we expect to extend the expiration of the offer and consent solicitations until the acquisition closes.

In May 2019 we issued an aggregate principal amount of $19.0 billion of floating rate and fixed rate unsecured senior notes at maturities ranging from 18 months to 30 years. The net proceeds will be used to fund a portion of the aggregate cash portion of the merger consideration to be paid to Celgene shareholders and to pay related fees and expenses. Any remaining proceeds may be used by us for general corporate purposes. Interest is payable semi-annually in the case of the fixed rate notes and quarterly in the case of the floating rate notes. The notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and the fixed rate notes are redeemable at any time, in whole, or in part, at varying specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest. All of the notes are subject to special mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest if the pending acquisition of Celgene is not completed by July 30, 2020 or we inform the trustee of the notes that we will not pursue the consummation of the Celgene acquisition.

Following the announcement of our pending acquisition of Celgene, we entered into forward starting interest rate swap option contracts, with a total notional value of $7.6 billion, to hedge future interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of long-term debt to fund the acquisition. In April 2019, we entered into deal contingent forward starting interest rate swap contracts, with an aggregate notional principal amount of $10.4 billion, to hedge interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of long-term debt to fund the Celgene acquisition and terminated the forward starting interest rate swap option contracts. The deal contingent forward starting interest rate swap contracts were unwound upon our May 2019 issuance of the new notes.

Additional regulations in the U.S. could be passed in the future including additional healthcare reform initiatives, further changes to tax laws, additional pricing laws and potential importation restrictions which may reduce our results of operations, operating cash flow, liquidity and financial flexibility. We continue to monitor the potential impact of the economic conditions in certain European and other countries and the related impact on prescription trends, pricing discounts and creditworthiness of our customers. We believe these economic conditions will not have a material impact on our liquidity, cash flow or financial flexibility.

The UK voted to depart from the EU during June 2016. Similar to other companies in our industry, certain regulatory, trade, labor and other aspects of our business will likely be affected over time. However, we currently do not believe that these matters and other related financial effects will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. Our sales in the UK represent less than 3% of our consolidated revenues.

Credit Ratings

BMS's current long-term and short-term credit ratings assigned by Moody's Investors Service are A2 and Prime-1, respectively, and BMS's current long-term and short-term credit ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's are A+ and A-1+, respectively. The long-term ratings reflect the agencies' opinion that we have a low default risk but are somewhat susceptible to adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions. The short-term ratings reflect the agencies' opinion that we have good to extremely strong capacity for timely repayment. The current long-term ratings do not reflect any impact from the pending acquisition of Celgene. In January 2019, Moody's placed BMS under review for downgrade and Standard & Poor's placed BMS on CreditWatch with negative implications, each following the announcement to acquire Celgene. We expect our credit ratings to remain at an investment grade level and we do not expect the changes to impact our ability to access short-term or long-term financing. However, we cannot guarantee the future actions of Moody's and/or Standard & Poor's. Any credit rating downgrade may affect the interest rate of any debt we may incur, the fair market value of existing debt and our ability to access the capital markets generally.

Operating Activities

Cash flow from operating activities represents the cash receipts and disbursements from all of our activities other than investing and financing activities. Operating cash flow is derived by adjusting net earnings for noncontrolling interest, non-cash operating items, gains and losses attributed to investing and financing activities and changes in operating assets and liabilities resulting from timing differences between the receipts and payments of cash and when the transactions are recognized in our results of operations. As a result, changes in cash from operating activities reflect the timing of cash collections from customers and alliance partners; payments to suppliers, alliance partners and employees; customer discounts and rebates; and tax payments in the ordinary course of business. For example, annual employee bonuses are typically paid in the first quarter of the subsequent year. In addition, cash collections continue to be impacted by longer payment terms for certain biologic products in the U.S., primarily our IO products including Opdivo, Yervoy and Empliciti (90 days). The longer payment terms are used to more closely align with the insurance reimbursement timing for physicians and cancer centers following administration to the patients.

The $2.5 billion change in cash flow from operating activities compared to 2018 was primarily attributable to:
Higher cash collections and timing of payments in the ordinary course of business of approximately $2.2 billion including lower working capital requirements; and
Lower R&D licensing and collaboration payments of approximately $1.1 billion primarily due to the Nektar transaction in 2018.
Partially offset by:
Higher income tax payments of approximately $400 million; and
Approximately $400 million of Celgene acquisition and integration related payments in 2019.

Investing Activities

Cash requirements from investing activities include cash used for acquisitions, manufacturing and facility-related capital expenditures and purchases of marketable securities with original maturities greater than 90 days at the time of purchase reduced by proceeds from business divestitures (including royalties) and the sale and maturity of marketable securities.

The $2.8 billion change in cash flow from investing activities compared to 2018 was primarily attributable to:
Lower net acquisition and other payments of approximately $1.2 billion primarily due to the purchase of Nektar common stock and Flexus contingent consideration payment in 2018;
Higher business divestiture proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion primarily due to the sale of the UPSA business; and
Higher net sales and maturities of marketable securities with maturities greater than 90 days of approximately $400 million.


40




Financing Activities

Cash requirements from financing activities include cash used to pay dividends, repurchase common stock and repay long-term debt and other borrowings reduced by proceeds from the exercise of stock options and issuance of long-term debt and other borrowings.

The $18.3 billion change in cash flow from financing activities compared to 2018 was primarily due to higher net borrowing activity of approximately $18.3 billion resulting from the issuance of new notes in connection with the pending acquisition of Celgene.

Product and Pipeline Developments

Our R&D programs are managed on a portfolio basis from early discovery through late-stage development and include a balance of early-stage and late-stage programs to support future growth. Our late stage R&D programs in Phase III development include both investigational compounds for initial indications and additional indications or formulations for marketed products. Spending on these programs represent approximately 35-45% of our annual R&D expenses in the last three years. Opdivo was the only investigational compound or marketed product that represented greater than 10% of our R&D expenses in the last three years. Our late-stage development programs could potentially have an impact on our revenue and earnings within the next few years if regulatory approvals are obtained and products are successfully commercialized. The following are the developments in our marketed products and our late-stage pipeline:

Date
Developments
Opdivo
CRC
March 2019
Ono, our alliance partner for Opdivo in Japan, announced the submission of a supplemental application of Opdivo in Japan for additional indication of MSI-H unresectable advanced or recurrent CRC that has progressed following chemotherapy for a partial change in the approved items of the manufacturing and marketing approval. This is mainly based on the result from Phase II CheckMate-142 study evaluating Opdivo in patients with MSI-H or dMMR recurrent or metastatic CRC that has progressed on or after, or been intolerant of, at least one previous line of treatment with chemotherapy including fluoropyrimidine anticancer drugs.
ESCC
September 2019
Announced results from the Phase III ATTRACTION-3 trial evaluating Opdivo versus chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent ESCC refractory or intolerant to combination therapy with fluoropyrimidine and platinum-based drugs. For the primary endpoint of overall survival, Opdivo demonstrated a statistically significant improvement over chemotherapy, with a 23% reduction in risk of death and a 2.5-month improvement in median overall survival compared to patients treated with chemotherapy. The safety profile for Opdivo in this trial was consistent with previously reported studies in ESCC and other solid tumors.
May 2019
Ono, our alliance partner for Opdivo in Japan, announced the submission of a supplemental application of Opdivo for indication of unresectable advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer in Japan for a partial change in approved items of manufacturing and marketing approval.
GBM
September 2019
Announced Phase III CheckMate-548 trial evaluating the addition of Opdivo to the current standard of care (temozolomide and radiation therapy) versus the standard of care alone did not meet one of its primary endpoints, progression-free survival, in patients with newly diagnosed GBM that is MGMT-methylated. The data monitoring committee recommended that the trial continue as planned to allow the other primary endpoint, overall survival, to mature. The Company remains blinded to all study data.
May 2019
Announced Phase III CheckMate-498 trial evaluating Opdivo plus radiation versus temozolomide plus radiation in patients with newly diagnosed MGMT-unmethylated GBM did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival at final analysis.
HCC
June 2019
Announced topline results from CheckMate-459, a randomized Phase III study evaluating Opdivo versus sorafenib as a first-line treatment in patients with unresectable HCC. The trial did not achieve statistical significance for its primary endpoint of overall survival per the pre-specified analysis.
Melanoma
October 2019
Announced the EC approval of Opdivo flat dosing schedule of 240 mg infused over 30 minutes every two weeks or 480 mg infused over 60 minutes every four weeks for the adjuvant treatment of adult patients with melanoma with involvement of lymph nodes or metastatic disease who have undergone complete resection.
September 2019
Announced results of a three-year analysis of efficacy data from the Phase III CheckMate-238 study evaluating adjuvant use of Opdivo 3 mg/kg versus Yervoy 10 mg/kg in patients with Stage III or Stage IV melanoma who were at high risk of recurrence following complete surgical resection. At three years of follow-up, Opdivo continues to demonstrate superior recurrence-free survival compared to Yervoy, the active control, with recurrence-free survival rates of 58% and 45%, respectively.
August 2019
Announced, with our alliance partner Nektar, that the FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for investigational agent bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214) in combination with Opdivo for the treatment of patients with previously untreated unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The Breakthrough Therapy Designation is based on clinical data which were recently reported in the 2019 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting from the cohort of patients with metastatic melanoma that were treated with the doublet therapy in the ongoing PIVOT-02 Phase I/II clinical study.
NSCLC
September 2019
Announced long-term pooled efficacy and safety results from the Phase III CheckMate-017 and CheckMate-057 studies in patients with previously treated advanced NSCLC. At five years, patients treated with Opdivo continued to experience long-term overall survival (OS) benefit versus docetaxel. OS rate at five years were 13.4% for Opdivo and 2.6% for docetaxel. The OS benefit for Opdivo-treated patients was observed across all subgroups.
April 2019
Announced results from pooled analyses of survival data from four studies (CheckMate-017, -057, -063 and -003) in patients with previously-treated advanced NSCLC who were treated with Opdivo. In the pooled analysis of the four studies, 14% of all Opdivo-treated patients were alive at four years. Notably, in patients with PD-L1 greater than or equal to 1% and less than 1%, four-year overall survival rate were 19% and 11%, respectively.
SCCHN
September 2019
Received approval in China for Opdivo, as a monotherapy in treatment of patients with SCCHN with disease progression on or after platinum-based therapy, and whose tumors have PD-L1 positive expression (defined as ≥1% of tumor cells expressing PD-L1)
January 2019
Acceptance in China of sBLA filing for patients who had previously been treated for metastatic or recurrent SCCHN.

Opdivo+Yervoy

HCC
June 2019
Announced first results from Opdivo+Yervoy cohort of the Phase I/II CheckMate-040 study, evaluating the IO combination in patients with advanced HCC previously treated with sorafenib. With a minimum follow-up of 28 months, the blinded independent central review objective response rate was 31% per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. At the time of data cutoff the median duration of response was 17.5 months.
mCRPC
February 2019
Announced results from an interim analysis of the Phase II CheckMate-650 trial evaluating Opdivo+Yervoy in patients with mCRPC showed that among 32 asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic patients whose disease had progressed after second-generation hormone therapy and who had not received chemotherapy (cohort 1), with a median follow-up of 11.9 months, the objective response rate was 25%. Additionally, among 30 patients whose disease progressed after taxane-based chemotherapy (cohort 2), with a median follow-up of 13.5 months, the objective response rate was 10%.
Melanoma
September 2019
Announced five-year results from the Phase III CheckMate-067 clinical trial, which continues to demonstrate improved overall survival with the first-line combination of Opdivo+Yervoy, versus Yervoy alone, in patients with advanced metastatic melanoma. With a minimum follow-up of 60 months (five years), five-year overall survival rates were 52% for the Opdivo+Yervoy combination, 44% for Opdivo alone, and 26% for Yervoy alone.
June 2019
Announced five-year analysis of the Phase I CA209-004 study, the longest follow-up for the Opdivo+Yervoy combination in patients with previously treated or untreated advanced melanoma to date. The analysis showed that with a median follow-up of 43.1 months (range: 0.9-76.7) in all patients, at four years or longer, overall survival rates were stable at 57%.
June 2019
Announced that an analysis exploring long-term quality of life (QoL) and symptom burden in the Phase III CheckMate-067 study found that QoL was maintained during the treatment-free interval, the period where a patient is off study treatment and free of subsequent therapy, in patients with previously untreated unresectable or metastatic melanoma following discontinuation of therapy with Opdivo or Opdivo+Yervoy.
March 2019
Received FDA full approval for Opdivo in combination with Yervoy for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma based on additional longer term efficacy data from CheckMate-067 (4-year overall survival) without restrictions in patient population. This approval fulfills two Post Marketing Requirements to verify and describe clinical benefit, thereby converting prior accelerated approval to full approval for nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma and nivolumab monotherapy for BRAF Mutant subjects with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Importantly, based on FDA review of the CheckMate-067 4-year overall survival data, the results of exploratory analyses by PD-L1 tumor expression have been removed entirely from the label.
NSCLC
October 2019
Announced results from Phase III CheckMate-9LA trial evaluating Opdivo plus low-dose Yervoy given concomitantly with two cycles of chemotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC, met its primary endpoint of superior overall survival at a pre-specified interim analysis. The comparator in this study was chemotherapy alone for up to four cycles followed by optional maintenance therapy. The safety profile of Opdivo plus low-dose Yervoy and two cycles of chemotherapy in CheckMate-9LA was reflective of the known safety profiles of the immunotherapy and chemotherapy components in first-line NSCLC.
September 2019
Announced results from Part 1 of the Phase III CheckMate-227 trial evaluating Opdivo plus low-dose Yervoy as first-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC. Opdivo plus low-dose Yervoy met the independent co-primary endpoint of overall survival, demonstrating superior benefit compared to chemotherapy in patients whose tumors expressed PD-L1 ≥1%. Additionally, in an exploratory analysis, results showed improved overall survival for patients treated with the combination of Opdivo plus low-dose Yervoy with PD-L1 <1%. The two-year survival rate for patients treated with the combination regimen was 40% for both patients whose tumors expressed PD-L1 ≥1% and patients whose tumors expressed PD-L1 <1%. In the chemotherapy control arm, two-year survival rates were 33% and 23%, respectively.
July 2019
Announced Part 2 of the Phase III CheckMate-227 study evaluating Opdivo plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival in first-line non-squamous NSCLC patients regardless of PD-L1 status.
January 2019
Announced voluntary withdrawal of the Company's sBLA for the Opdivo plus low-dose Yervoy for treatment of first-line advanced NSCLC in patients with TMB greater than or equal to 10 mutations per megabase as data from CheckMate-227, Part 1a. After discussions with FDA, the Company believes further evidence on the relationship between TMB and PD-L1 is required to fully evaluate the impact of Opdivo plus Yervoy on overall survival in first-line NSCLC patients. This analysis will require availability of the final data from CheckMate-227, Part 1a, which could not be provided on time within the review cycle of the current application.
RCC
February 2019
Announced new results from the Phase III CheckMate-214 study, showing that therapy with Opdivo plus low-dose Yervoy continued to demonstrate long-term survival benefits in patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic RCC.
January 2019
Announced the EC approval of Opdivo plus low-dose Yervoy for previously untreated patients with intermediate and poor-risk advanced RCC.
SCCHN
April 2019
Announced topline results from the Phase II CheckMate-714 trial evaluating Opdivo versus Opdivo+Yervoy in patients with recurrent or metastatic SCCHN. The study did not meet its primary endpoints.

Eliquis
NVAF/ACS
September 2019
Announced findings from NAXOS (EvaluatioN of ApiXaban in strOke and Systemic embolism prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in the real-life setting in France), the largest real-world data analysis on OAC effectiveness and safety in Europe among patients with NVAF. In this analysis, Eliquis use was associated with a lower rate of major bleeding compared to a vitamin K antagonist, rivaroxaban and dabigatran. These data were featured as a late-breaking oral presentation at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2019 in Paris, France.
March 2019
Announced results from the Phase IV AUGUSTUS trial evaluating Eliquis versus vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in patients with NVAF and ACS and/or undergoing PCI. Results show that in patients receiving a P2Y12 inhibitor with or without aspirin (antiplatelet therapies), the proportion of patients with major or clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding at six months was significantly lower for those treated with Eliquis compared to those treated with a VKA.
Orencia
JIA
April 2019
Received the EC notification on the adoption of the approval on our Orencia solution for subcutaneous injection in pre-filled syringe extension application (50 mg & 87.5 mg strength) and extension of indication for the treatment of polyarticular JIA in pediatric patients two years of age and older.
RA
June 2019
Announced data from a Phase IV mechanistic study exploring differences in the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which Orencia and another treatment, adalimumab, interfere with disease progression in moderate-to-severe early RA patients seropositive for certain autoantibodies. Among 80 adult patients with early moderate-to-severe RA who had never been treated with a biologic medication and tested positive for autoantibodies called anti-citrullinated protein antibody and rheumatoid factor, numerically higher efficacy responses were seen with Orencia at week 24. These results, which are from a prospective analysis of the Early AMPLE head-to-head trial, are featured in a late-breaking oral presentation at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology.
March 2019
Announced the submission of supplemental applications of “Orencia for Intravenous Infusion 250mg,” “Orencia 125mg Syringe for Subcutaneous Injection 1mL” and “Orencia 125mg Autoinjector for Subcutaneous Injection 1mL” to include the description of “inhibition of the structural damage of the joints” in the currently approved indication of RA for a partial change in approved items of the manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan.
Sprycel
ALL
February 2019
Announced the EC approval of Sprycel, in both tablet and powder for oral suspension formulations, in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of pediatric patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL.
Empliciti
Multiple Myeloma
August 2019
Announced that the EC has approved Empliciti plus pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone (EPd) for the treatment of adult patients with RRMM who have received at least two prior therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor, and have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy.
June 2019
Announced updated data from ELOQUENT-3, the international randomized Phase II study evaluating Empliciti plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone (EPd) versus pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Pd) alone in patients with RRMM. In a non-prespecified analysis conducted to provide a descriptive assessment of overall survival after extended follow-up of at least 18.3 months, patients treated with EPd continued to experience sustained and clinically relevant overall survival and progression-free survival benefits compared with patients treated with Pd. These data were presented at the 24th Congress of the European Hematology Association in a poster display.
February 2019
Completed filing of a supplemental Japanese New Drug Application (sJNDA) for Empliciti in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior therapies, including Revlimid* and proteasome inhibitor. The sJNDA filing was submitted based on the results of a global phase II study. The orphan designation was already granted for the indication of RRMM at the initial JNDA. This sJNDA will also be reviewed under “priority review.”

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Our critical accounting policies are those that significantly impact our financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of this uncertainty, actual results may vary from these estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to “—Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2018 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. For information regarding the impact of recently adopted accounting standards, refer to “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note.1 Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards.”

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including documents incorporated by reference) and other written and oral statements we make from time to time contain certain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “may,” “project,” “guidance,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. All statements that are not statements of historical facts are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on historical performance and current expectations and projections about our future financial results, goals, plans and objectives and involve inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including internal or external factors that could delay, divert or change any of them in the next several years, that are difficult to predict, may be beyond our control and could cause our future financial results, goals, plans and objectives to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the statements. These statements are likely to relate to, among other things, our goals, plans and objectives regarding our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, market position, product development, product approvals, sales efforts, expenses, performance or results of current and anticipated products, our pending acquisition of Celgene, the successful closing of the Otezla* divestiture and use of proceeds therefrom and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. We included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in the 2018 Form 10-K, particularly under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and in our other filings with the SEC additional information on the factors that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.

Although we believe that we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions, no assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made. Additional risks that we may currently deem immaterial or that are not presently known to us could also cause the forward-looking events discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q not to occur. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT
UNDER THE BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
2012 STOCK AWARD AND INCENTIVE PLAN

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to you the Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) specified in the Grant Summary located on the Stock Plan Administrator’s website, which is incorporated into this Restricted Stock Units Agreement (the “Agreement”) and deemed to be a part hereof. The RSUs have been granted to you under Section 6(e) of the 2012 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), on the terms and conditions specified in the Grant Summary and this Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

1.    RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AWARD

The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the “Committee”) has granted to you as of the Award Date an Award of RSUs as designated herein subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Each RSU shall represent the conditional right to receive, upon settlement of the RSU, one share of Bristol-Myers Squibb Common Stock (“Common Stock”) or, at the discretion of the Company, the cash equivalent thereof (subject to any tax withholding as described in Section 4). The purpose of such Award is to motivate and retain you as an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, to encourage you to continue to give your best efforts for the Company’s future success, and to increase your proprietary interest in the Company. Except as may be required by law, you are not required to make any payment (other than payments for taxes pursuant to Section 4 hereof) or provide any consideration other than the rendering of future services to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

2.    RESTRICTIONS, FORFEITURES, AND SETTLEMENT

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, each RSU shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein during the period from the Award Date until the date such RSU has become vested and non-forfeitable such that there are no longer any RSUs that may become potentially vested and non-forfeitable (the “Restricted Period”). Vesting of the RSUs is conditioned upon you remaining continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company from the Award Date until the relevant vesting date, subject to the provisions of this Section 2. Assuming satisfaction of such employment conditions, the RSUs will become vested and non-forfeitable as follows: one-third on the third anniversary of the Award Date; an additional one-third on the fourth anniversary of the Award Date; and the final one-third on the fifth anniversary of the Award Date (each, a “Vesting Date”).

(a)
Nontransferability. During the Restricted Period and any further period prior to settlement of your RSUs, you may not sell, transfer, pledge or assign any of the RSUs or your rights relating thereto. If you attempt to assign your rights under this Agreement in violation of the provisions herein, the Company’s obligation to settle RSUs or otherwise make payments shall terminate.

(b)
Time of Settlement. RSUs shall be settled promptly upon expiration of the Restricted Period without forfeiture of the RSUs (i.e., upon vesting), but in any event within 60 days after expiration of the Restricted Period, by delivery of one share of Common Stock for

1



each RSU being settled, or, at the discretion of the Company, the cash equivalent thereof; provided, however, that settlement of an RSU shall be subject to Plan Section 11(k), including if applicable the six-month delay rule in Plan Sections 11(k)(i)(C)(2) and 11(k)(i)(G); provided further, that no dividend or dividend equivalents will be paid, accrued or accumulated in respect of the period during which settlement was delayed. (Note: This rule may apply to any portion of the RSUs that vest after the time you become Retirement eligible under the Plan, and could apply in other cases as well). Settlement of RSUs which directly or indirectly result from adjustments to RSUs shall occur at the time of settlement of, and subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to, the granted RSUs. Settlement of cash amounts which directly or indirectly result from adjustments to RSUs shall be included as part of your regular payroll payment as soon as administratively practicable after the settlement date for the underlying RSUs, and subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to, the granted RSUs. Until shares are delivered to you in settlement of RSUs, you shall have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares issuable in settlement of the RSUs, including the right to vote the shares and receive actual dividends and other distributions on the underlying shares of Common Stock. Shares of stock issuable in settlement of RSUs shall be delivered to you upon settlement in certificated form or in such other manner as the Company may reasonably determine. At that time, you will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.

(c)
Retirement and Death. In the event of your Retirement (as that term is defined in the Plan; however, if you attain age 65 before Retirement, 100% of your RSUs held for at least one year will have vested prior to Retirement) or your death while employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company prior to the end of the Restricted Period, you, or your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, shall be deemed vested and entitled to settlement of (i.e., the Restricted Period shall expire with respect to) a proportionate number of the total number of RSUs granted (taking into account RSUs previously vested), provided that you have been continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for at least one year following the Award Date and your employment has not been terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for misconduct or other conduct deemed detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. If you are only eligible for Retirement pursuant to Plan Section 2(x)(iii), and you are employed in the United States or Puerto Rico at the time of your Retirement, you shall be entitled to the pro rata vesting described in this Section 2(c) only if you execute and do not revoke a release in favor of the Company and its predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors and employees in a form satisfactory to the Company; if you fail to execute or revoke the release, or your release fails to become effective and irrevocable within 60 days of the date your employment terminates, you shall forfeit any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment terminates. The formula for determining the proportionate number of your RSUs to become vested and non-forfeitable upon your Retirement or death is available by request from the Office of the Corporate Secretary at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154. RSUs that become vested and nonforfeitable under this Section 2(c) shall be distributed in accordance with Section 2(b) (i.e., within 60 days of the date of your death or Retirement). In the event of your becoming vested hereunder on account of death, or in the event of your death subsequent to your Retirement hereunder and prior to the delivery of shares in settlement of RSUs (not previously forfeited), shares in settlement of your RSUs shall be delivered to your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, upon presentation to the Committee of letters testamentary or other documentation satisfactory to the Committee, and your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, shall succeed to any other rights provided hereunder in the event of your death.

(d)
Termination not for Misconduct/Detrimental Conduct. In the event your employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for reasons other than misconduct or other conduct deemed detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, and you are not eligible for Retirement, you shall be entitled to settlement of (i.e., the Restricted Period shall expire with respect to) a proportionate number of the total number of RSUs granted (taking into account RSUs previously vested), provided that you have been continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for at least one year following the Award Date. If you are not eligible for Retirement, and you are employed in the United States or Puerto Rico at the time of your termination, you shall be entitled to the pro rata vesting described in this Section 2(d) only if you execute and do not revoke a release in favor of the Company and its predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors and employees in a form satisfactory to the Company; if you fail to execute or revoke the release, or your release fails to become effective and irrevocable within 60 days of the date your employment terminates, you shall forfeit any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment terminates. The formula for determining the proportionate number of RSUs you are entitled to under this Section 2(d) is available by request from the Office of the Corporate Secretary at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154.

(e)
Disability. In the event you become Disabled (as that term is defined below), for the period during which you continue to be deemed to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (i.e., the period during which you receive Disability benefits), you will not be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of the RSUs. However, no period of continued Disability shall continue beyond 29 months for purposes of the RSUs, at which time you will have considered to have separated from service in accordance with applicable laws as more fully provided for herein. Upon the termination of your receipt of Disability benefits, (i) you will not be deemed to have terminated employment if you return to employment status, and (ii) if you do not return to employment status or are considered to have separated from service as noted above, you will be deemed to have terminated employment at the date of cessation of payments to you under all disability pay plans of the Company and its subsidiaries (unless you are on an approved leave of absence per Section (i) herein), with such termination treated for purposes of the RSUs as a Retirement or death (as detailed in Section 2(c) herein), or voluntary termination (as detailed in Section 2(g) herein) based on your circumstances at the time of such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” or “Disabled” shall mean qualifying for and receiving payments under a disability plan of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate either in the United States or in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, and in jurisdictions outside of the United States shall also include qualifying for and receiving payments under a mandatory or universal disability plan or program managed or maintained by the government.

(f)
Qualifying Termination Following Change in Control. In the event your employment is terminated by reason of a Qualifying Termination during the Protected Period following a Change in Control, the Restricted Period and all remaining restrictions shall expire and the RSUs shall be deemed fully vested.

(g)
Other Termination of Employment. In the event of your voluntary termination (subject to Section 2(c)), or termination by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for misconduct or other conduct deemed by the Company to be detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, you shall forfeit all unvested RSUs on the date of termination.

(h)
Other Terms.


3



(i)
In the event that you fail promptly to pay or make satisfactory arrangements as to the Tax-Related Items as provided in Section 4, all RSUs subject to restriction shall be forfeited by you and shall be deemed to be reacquired by the Company.

(ii)
You may, at any time prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, waive all rights with respect to all or some of the RSUs by delivering to the Company a written notice of such waiver.

(iii)
Termination of employment includes any event if immediately thereafter you are no longer an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, subject to Section 2(i) hereof. References in this Section 2 to employment by the Company include employment by a subsidiary of the Company. Termination of employment means an event after which you are no longer employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Such an event could include the disposition of a subsidiary or business unit by the Company or a subsidiary.

(iv)
Upon any termination of your employment, any RSUs as to which the Restricted Period has not expired at or before such termination shall be forfeited, subject to Sections 2(c)-(f) hereof. Other provisions of this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event will an RSU that has been forfeited thereafter vest or be settled.

(v)
In the event of termination of your employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, your right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active services would not include any contractual notice period or any period of "garden leave" or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any); the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of your RSUs (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

(vi)
You agree that the Company may recover any incentive-based compensation received by you under this Agreement if such recovery is pursuant to a clawback or recoupment policy approved by the Committee, even if approved subsequent to the date of this Agreement.
(i)
The following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment:

(i)
A transfer of you from the Company to a subsidiary of the Company, or vice versa, or from one subsidiary of the Company to another; and

(ii)
A leave of absence from which you return to active service for any purpose approved by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company in writing.

Any failure to return to active service with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company at the end of an approved leave of absence as described herein shall be deemed a voluntary termination of employment effective on the date the approved leave of absence ends, subject to applicable law and any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment

4



terminates shall be forfeited subject to Section 2(c). During a leave of absence as provided for in (ii) above, although you will be considered to have been continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and not to have had a termination of employment under this Section 2, the Committee may specify that such leave of absence period approved for your personal reasons (and provided for by any applicable law) shall not be counted in determining the period of employment for purposes of the vesting of the RSUs. In such case, the Vesting Dates for unvested RSUs shall be extended by the length of any such leave of absence.

(j)
As more fully provided for in the Plan, notwithstanding any provision herein, in any Award or in the Plan to the contrary, the terms of any Award shall be limited to those terms permitted under Code Section 409A including all applicable regulations and administrative guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”), and any terms not permitted under Section 409A shall be automatically modified and limited to the extent necessary to conform with Section 409A, but only to the extent such modification or limitation is permitted under Section 409A.

3.
NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT AND COMPANY RIGHT TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, DAMAGES, RESCISSION, FORFEITURE AND OTHER REMEDIES
You acknowledge that the grant of RSUs pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient consideration for this Agreement, including, without limitation, all applicable restrictions imposed on you by this Section 3. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-competition provisions of Section 3(c)(i)-(ii) below shall only be applicable during your employment by the Company, a subsidiary or an affiliate of the Company.
(a)
Confidentiality Obligations and Agreement. By accepting this Agreement, you agree and/or reaffirm the terms of all agreements related to treatment of Confidential Information that you signed at the inception of or during your employment, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. This includes, but is not limited to, use or disclosure of any BMS Confidential Information, Proprietary Information, or Trade Secrets to third parties. Confidential Information, Proprietary Information, and Trade secrets include, but are not limited to, any information gained in the course of your employment with the Company that is marked as confidential or could reasonably be expected to harm the Company if disclosed to third parties, including without limitation, any information that could reasonably be expected to aid a competitor or potential competitor in making inferences regarding the nature of the Company’s business activities, where such inferences could reasonably be expected to allow such competitor to compete more effectively with the Company. You agree that you will not remove or disclose Company Confidential Information, Proprietary Information or Trade Secrets. Unauthorized removal includes forwarding or downloading confidential information to personal email or other electronic media and/or copying the information to personal unencrypted thumb drives, cloud storage or drop box. Immediately upon termination of your employment for any reason, you will return to the Company all of the Company’s confidential and other business materials that you have or that are in your possession or control and all copies thereof, including all tangible embodiments thereof, whether in hard copy or electronic format and you shall not retain any versions thereof on any personal computer or any other media (e.g., flash drives, thumb drives, external hard drives and the like). In addition, you will thoroughly search personal electronic devices, drives, cloud-based storage, email, cell phones, and social media to ensure that all Company information has been deleted. In the event that you comingle personal and Company confidential information on these devices or storage media, you hereby consent to the removal and permanent deletion of all information on

5



these devices and media. Nothing in this paragraph or Agreement limits or prohibits your right to report potential violations of law , rules, or regulations to, or communicate with, cooperate with, testify before, or otherwise assist in an investigation or proceeding by, any government agency or entity, or engage in any other conduct that is required or protected by law or regulation, and you are not required to obtain the prior authorization of the Company to do so and are not required to notify the Company that you have done so. 
(b)
Inventions. To the extent permitted by local law, you agree and/or reaffirm the terms of all agreements related to inventions that you signed at the inception of or during your employment, and agree to promptly disclose and assign to the Company all of your interest in any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements and business or marketing concepts related to the current or contemplated business or activities of the Company, and which are conceived or made by you, either alone or in conjunction with others, at any time or place during the period you are employed by the Company. Upon request of the Company, including after your termination, you agree to execute, at the Company’s expense, any and all applications, assignments, or other documents which the Company shall determine necessary to apply for and obtain letters patent to protect the Company’s interest in such inventions, discoveries, and improvements and to cooperate in good faith in any legal proceedings to protect the Company’s intellectual property.
(c)
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Related Covenants. By accepting this Agreement, you agree to the restrictive covenants outlined in this section unless expressly prohibited by local law or as follows. Given the extent and nature of the confidential information that you have obtained or will obtain during the course of your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, it would be inevitable or, at the least, substantially probable that such confidential information would be disclosed or utilized by you should you obtain employment from, or otherwise become associated with, an entity or person that is engaged in a business or enterprise that directly competes with the Company. Even if not inevitable, it would be impossible or impracticable for the Company to monitor your strict compliance with your confidentiality obligations. Consequently, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly:
(i)
during the Covenant Restricted Period (as defined below), own or have any financial interest in a Competitive Business (as defined below), except that nothing in this clause shall prevent you from owning one per cent or less of the outstanding securities of any entity whose securities are traded on a U.S. national securities exchange (including NASDAQ) or an equivalent foreign exchange;

(ii)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, whether or not for compensation, either on your own behalf or as an employee, officer, agent, consultant, director, owner, partner, joint venturer, shareholder, investor, or in any other capacity, be actively connected with a Competitive Business or otherwise advise or assist a Competitive Business with regard to any product, investigational compound, technology, service or line of business that competes with any product, investigational compound, technology, service or line of business with which you worked or about which you became familiar as a result of your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company;

(iii)
for Employees in an executive, management, supervisory or business unit lead role at the time of termination, you will not, during the Covenant Restricted Period, employ, solicit for employment, solicit, induce, encourage, or participate in soliciting, inducing or encouraging any Company employee who is employed by the Company

6



or who was employed by the Company within the twelve months preceding the termination of your employment with the Company for any reason, to terminate or reduce his or her or its relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates, successors or assigns (the “Related Parties”). This restriction includes, but is not limited to, participation by you in any and all parts of the staffing and hiring processes involving a candidate regardless of the means by which the new employer became aware of the candidate;

(iv)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, solicit, induce, encourage, or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, by use of Confidential Information or otherwise, any existing or prospective customer, vendor or supplier of BMS that Employee became aware of or was introduced to in the course of Employee’s duties for BMS, to terminate, cancel or otherwise reduce its relationship with BMS, and;

(vi)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, engage in any activity that is harmful to the interests of the Company or its Related Parties, including, without limitation, any conduct during the term of your employment that violates the Company’s Standards of Business Conduct and Ethics, securities trading policy and other policies.

(d)
Rescission, Forfeiture and Other Remedies. If the Company determines that you have violated any applicable provisions of Section 3(c) above during the Covenant Restricted Period, in addition to injunctive relief and damages, you agree and covenant that:
(i)
any unvested portion of the RSUs shall be immediately rescinded;

(ii)
you shall automatically forfeit any rights you may have with respect to the RSUs as of the date of such determination;

(iii)
if any part of the RSUs vests within the twelve-month period immediately preceding a violation of Section 3(c) above (or following the date of any such violation), upon the Company’s demand, you shall immediately deliver to it a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock that you acquired upon settlement of such RSUs (or an equivalent number of other shares); and

(iv)
the foregoing remedies set forth in this Section 3(d) shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedies. The Company reserves all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity.

(e)
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:
(i)
“Competitive Business” means any business that is engaged in or is about to become engaged in the development, production or sale of any product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business concerning the treatment of any disease, which product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business resembles or competes with any product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business that was sold by, or in development at, the Company or a subsidiary of the Company during your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.
(ii)
The “Covenant Restricted Period” for purposes of paragraph 3.c. (iii.) and 3 c. (iv.) shall be the period during which Employee is employed by the Company and twelve (12) months after the end of Employee’s term of employment with and/or work for BMS for any reason, (e.g., restriction applies regardless of the reason for termination

7



and includes voluntary and involuntary termination) (hereinafter “Termination Date”). The “Covenant Restricted Period” for purposes of paragraphs 3 c. (i) and 3 c. (ii) shall be the period of employment by the Company, a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. In the event that the Company or a subsidiary of the Company files an action to enforce rights arising out of this Agreement, the Covenant Restricted Period shall be extended for all periods of time in which you are determined by the Court or other authority to have been in violation of the provisions of Section 3(c).

(iii)
The “Company” for purposes of this agreement means Bristol-Myers Squibb, all related companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors, assigns and all organizations acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

(f)
Severability. You acknowledge and agree that the period and scope of restriction imposed upon you by this Section 3 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired and this Agreement shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid provisions were not part of this Agreement. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permissible under law and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision. You acknowledge and agree that your covenants under this Agreement are ancillary to your employment relationship with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, but shall be independent of any other contractual relationship between you and the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. Consequently, the existence of any claim or cause of action that you may have against the Company or a subsidiary of the Company shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, nor an excuse for noncompliance with this Agreement.
(g)
Additional Remedies. You acknowledge and agree that any violation by you of this paragraph will cause irreparable harm to the Company and its Related Parties and the Company cannot be adequately compensated for such violation by damages. Accordingly, if you violate or threaten to violate this Agreement, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have in law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled, without the posting of a bond or other security, to obtain an injunction to stop or prevent such violation, including but not limited to obtaining a temporary or preliminary injunction from a Delaware court pursuant to Section 1(a) of the Mutual Arbitration Agreement (if applicable) and Section 14 of this Agreement. You further agree that if the Company incurs legal fees or costs in enforcing this Agreement, you will reimburse the Company for such fees and costs.
(h)
Binding Obligations. These obligations shall be binding both upon you, your assigns, executors, administrators and legal representatives. At the inception of or during the course of your employment, you may have executed agreements that contain similar terms. Those agreements remain in full force and effect. In the event that there is a conflict between the terms of those agreements and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8



(i)
Enforcement. The Company retains discretion regarding whether or not to enforce the terms of the covenants contained in this Section 3 and its decision not to do so in your instance or anyone’s case shall not be considered a waiver of the Company’s right to do so.
(j)
Duty to Notify the Company and Third Parties. During your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and for a period of 12 months after your termination of employment from the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, you shall communicate any post-employment obligations under this Agreement to each subsequent employer. You also authorize the Company to notify third parties, including without limitation, customers and actual or potential employers, of the terms of this Agreement and your obligations hereunder upon your separation from the Company or your separation from employment with any subsequent employer during the Covenant Restricted Period, by providing a copy of this Agreement or otherwise.
4.    RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES

You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, including your employer (“Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax (including federal, state, local and non-U.S. taxes), social security, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you or deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to you even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any. You further acknowledge that the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate 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 RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of RSUs, the conversion of the RSUs into shares of Common Stock or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and, (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable event, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, by your acceptance of the RSUs, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a)
withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or

(b)
withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or

(c)
withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the RSUs;

provided, however, if you are a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold shares of Common Stock upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding

9



event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (a) and (b) above.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in your jurisdiction(s), in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Section 409A, if shares of Common Stock subject to RSUs will be sold on your behalf (or withheld) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the RSUs, then to the extent that any portion of the RSUs that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, then the number of such shares sold on your behalf (or withheld) shall not exceed the number of shares that equals the liability for Tax-Related Items with respect to such shares.

5.    DIVIDENDS AND ADJUSTMENTS

(a)
Dividends or dividend equivalents are not paid, accrued or accumulated on RSUs during the Restricted Period, except as provided in Section 5(b).
(b)
The number of your RSUs and/or other related terms shall be appropriately adjusted, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights with respect to RSUs, to reflect any changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock resulting from any event referred to in Plan Section 11(c) or any other “equity restructuring” as defined in FASB ASC Topic 718.
6.    EFFECT ON OTHER BENEFITS

In no event shall the value, at any time, of the RSUs or any other payment under this Agreement be included as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other compensation, retirement, or benefit plan offered to employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan. The RSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock (or their cash equivalent), and the income and value of the same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy or end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension or retirement benefits, or similar mandatory payments.

(g)
The future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(h)

(i)
Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the RSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the RSUs 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 shares of the Company; and
(j)
The following provisions apply only if you are providing services outside the United States: (i) the Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and (ii) neither the Company, the Employer nor any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement.

10.    ADMINISTRATION; UNFUNDED OBLIGATIONS

The Committee shall have full authority and discretion, subject only to the express terms of the Plan, to decide all matters relating to the administration and interpretation of the Plan and this Agreement, and all such Committee determinations shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate, you, and all interested parties. Any provision for distribution in settlement of your RSUs and other obligations hereunder shall be by means of bookkeeping entries on the books of the Company and shall not create in you or any beneficiary any right to, or claim against any, specific assets of the Company, nor result in the creation of any trust or escrow account for you or any beneficiary. You and any of your beneficiaries entitled to any settlement or distribution hereunder shall be a general creditor of the Company.

11.    DEEMED ACCEPTANCE

Furthermore, you may be prohibited from (i) disclosing insider information to any third party, including fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise buy or sell securities.

other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

19.    COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Notwithstanding any other provisions 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, you understand that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs, if the issuance of such Common Stock shall constitute a violation by you or the Company of any provision of law or regulation of any governmental authority. Further, you agree that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without your consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of shares. Any determination by the Company in this regard shall be final, binding and conclusive.

20.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND NO ORAL MODIFICATION OR WAIVER

This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties, provided that, if you are subject to the Mutual Arbitration Agreement, then the Mutual Arbitration Agreement is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Subject to Sections 19, 21 and 23, and the provisions of Addendum A, this Agreement shall not be modified or amended except in writing duly signed by the parties, except that the Company may adopt a modification or amendment to the Agreement that is not materially adverse to you in writing signed only by the Company. Any waiver of any right or failure to perform under this Agreement shall be in writing signed by the party granting the waiver and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent failure to perform.

21.    ADDENDUM A
    
Your RSUs shall be subject to any special provisions set forth in Addendum A to this Agreement for your country, if any. If you relocate to one of the countries included in Addendum A, the special provisions for such country shall apply to you, without your consent, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such provisions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Addendum A constitutes part of this Agreement.

22.    FOREIGN ASSET/ACCOUNT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND EXCHANGE CONTROLS

Your country may have certain foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements and exchange controls which may affect your ability to acquire or hold shares of Common Stock under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on shares of Common Stock sale proceeds resulting from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside your country. You may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in your country. You also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of your participation in the Plan to your country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and you should consult your personal legal advisor for any details.

23.    IMPOSITION OF OTHER REQUIREMENTS

    

14



The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the RSUs 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 you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.


For the Company

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company    


    
By_________________________________________________


I have read this Agreement in its entirety. I understand that this Award has been granted to provide a means for me to acquire and/or expand an ownership position in Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. I acknowledge and agree that sales of shares will be subject to the Company's policies regulating trading by employees. In accepting this Award, I hereby agree that Fidelity, or such other vendor as the Company may choose to administer the Plan, may provide the Company with any and all account information for the administration of this Award.

I hereby agree to all the terms, restrictions and conditions set forth in the Agreement, including, but not limited to any post-employment covenants described herein.

Addendum A

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR RSUs IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES

Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement. This Addendum A includes special country-specific terms that apply if you are residing and/or working in one of the countries listed below. This Addendum A is part of the Agreement.
This Addendum A also includes information of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. For example, certain individual exchange control reporting requirements may apply upon vesting of the RSUs and/or sale of Common Stock. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2019 and is provided for informational purposes. Such laws are often complex and change frequently, and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time your RSUs vest or are settled, or you sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.
Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you currently are residing and/or working, transfer employment after the RSUs are granted to you, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein for the country you are residing and/or working in at the time of grant may not be applicable to you, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to you. If you transfer residency and/or employment to another country or are considered a resident of another country listed in this Addendum A after the RSUs are granted to you, the terms and/or information contained for that new country (rather than the original grant country) may be applicable to you.
All Countries
Retirement. The following provision supplements Section 2 of the Agreement:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in your jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment that applies to the RSUs when you attain age 65 or in the event of your Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the provisions of Section 2 regarding the treatment of the RSUs when you attain age 65 or in the event of your Retirement shall not be applicable to you.
All Non-European Union/Non-European Economic Area Countries
Data Privacy Consent.

By accepting the Award, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in the Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its other subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

16




You understand that the Company, the Employer and other subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, employee ID, social security number, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), tax code, hire date, termination date, termination code, division name, division code, region name, salary grade, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

You understand that Data will be transferred to Fidelity Stock Plan Services and certain of its affiliates ("Fidelity"), or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which assist in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient's country (e.g. the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the Company, Fidelity and 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 your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares of Common Stock received upon vesting of the RSUs may be deposited. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view Data, request 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 your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant RSUs or other equity awards to you or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

Upon request of the Company or the Employer, you agree to provide a separate executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company and/or the Employer) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from you for the purpose of administering your participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in your country, either now or in the future.  You understand and agree that you will not be able to participate in the Plan if you fail to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.
Argentina
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that the grant of RSUs is made by the Company (not the Employer) in its sole discretion and that the value of the RSUs or any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan shall not constitute salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, including, but not limited to, the calculation of (i) any labor benefits including, but not limited to,

17




vacation pay, thirteenth salary, compensation in lieu of notice, annual bonus, disability, and leave of absence payments, etc., or (ii) any termination or severance indemnities or similar payments.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any benefits under the Plan are considered salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, you acknowledge and agree that such benefits shall not accrue more frequently than on each vesting date.
Securities Law Information. Neither the RSUs nor the underlying shares of Common Stock are publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in Argentina.
Exchange Control Information. Certain restrictions and requirements may apply if and when you transfer proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or any cash dividends paid with respect to such shares into Argentina.
Exchange control regulations in Argentina are subject to change. You should speak with your personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations that you may have prior to vesting in the RSUs or remitting funds into Argentina, as you are responsible for complying with applicable exchange control laws.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Argentinian residents must report any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and held by the resident as of December 31st of each year to the Argentine tax authorities on their annual tax return for that year.

Australia
Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding anything else in the Agreement, you will not be entitled to, and shall not claim, any benefit under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits. Further, the Employer is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders in general meeting for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.
Australian Offer Document. The offer of RSUs is intended to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, ASIC Regulatory Guide 49 and ASIC Class Order CO 14/1000. Additional details are set forth in the Offer Document for the offer of RSUs to Australian resident employees, which will be provided to you with the Agreement.
Tax Information. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to conditions in the Act).
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control reporting is required for inbound cash transactions exceeding A$10,000 and inbound international fund transfers of any value, that do not involve an Australian bank.
Austria
Exchange Control Information. If you hold shares of Common Stock under the Plan outside of Austria (even if you hold them outside of Austria at a branch of an Austrian bank) or cash (including proceeds from the sale of Common Stock), you may be required to submit a report to the Austrian National Bank as follows: (i) on a quarterly basis if the value of the Common Stock as of any given quarter meets or exceeds €30,000,000; and (ii) on an annual basis if the value of the Common Stock as of December 31 meets or exceeds €5,000,000. The deadline to file the quarterly report is the 15th day of the month

18




following the end of the respective quarter. The deadline to file the annual report is January 31 of the following year.
When shares of Common Stock are sold, there may be exchange control obligations if the cash proceeds from the sale are held outside Austria. If the transaction volume of all your cash accounts abroad meets or exceeds €10,000,000, the movements and the balance of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month. If the transaction value of all cash accounts abroad is less than €10,000,000, no ongoing reporting requirements apply.
Belgium
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If you are a Belgian resident, you are required to report any taxable income attributable to the grant of the RSUs on your annual tax return. In addition, if you are a Belgian resident, you are required to report any securities held (including shares of Common Stock) or bank accounts (including brokerage accounts) you maintain outside of Belgium on your annual tax return. In a separate report, you will be required to provide the National Bank of Belgium with certain details regarding such foreign accounts (including the account number, bank name and country in which any such account was opened). The forms to complete this report are available on the website of the National Bank of Belgium.
Stock Exchange Tax Information. A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by a Belgian resident through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, such as a U.S. broker. The stock exchange tax likely will apply when shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan are sold. You should consult with your tax or financial advisor for additional details on your obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
Brokerage Account Tax Information. You may be subject to a brokerage account tax if the average annual value of securities (including shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) held by you in a brokerage account exceeds certain thresholds. As the calculation of this tax is complex, you should consult your personal tax advisor for more details.
Brazil
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that (i) you are making an investment decision, and (ii) the value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is not fixed and may increase or decrease in value over the Restricted Period.
Compliance with Laws. By accepting the RSUs, you agree that you will comply with Brazilian law when you vest in the RSUs and sell shares of Common Stock. You also agree to report and pay any and all taxes associated with the vesting of the RSUs, the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan and the receipt of any dividends.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting. You must prepare and submit a declaration of assets and rights held outside of Brazil to the Central Bank on an annual basis if you hold assets or rights valued at more than US$100,000. Quarterly reporting is required if such amount exceeds US$100,000,000. The assets and rights that must be reported include shares of Common Stock.
Tax on Financial Transaction (IOF). Repatriation of funds (e.g., sale proceeds) into Brazil and the conversion of USD into BRL associated with such fund transfers may be subject to the Tax on Financial

19




Transactions. It is your responsibility to comply with any applicable Tax on Financial Transactions arising from your participation in the Plan.
Bulgaria
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. You may be required to report annually to the Bulgarian National Bank details of your receivables in bank accounts held abroad as well as your securities held abroad if the aggregate value of such receivables and securities is equal to or exceeds a certain threshold.
Canada
Settlement of RSUs. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, RSUs will be settled in shares of Common Stock only, not cash.
Securities Law Information. You acknowledge and agree that you will sell shares of Common Stock acquired through participation in the Plan only outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. Currently, the shares of Common Stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Termination of Employment. This provision replaces the second paragraph of Section 2(h)(v) of the Agreement:
In the event of termination of your employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, your right to vest in the RSUs, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that is the earlier of (1) the date upon which your employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated; (2) the date you are no longer actively employed by or providing services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (3) the date you receive written notice of termination of employment, regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under applicable laws (including, but not limited to statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer employed or actively providing services for purposes of the RSUs (including whether you may still be considered employed or actively providing services while on a leave of absence).
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. You may be required to report your foreign specified property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of your foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time in the year. Foreign property includes cash held outside of Canada and shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, and rights to receive shares of Common Stock (e.g., RSUs). Thus, RSUs must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified property. The Form T1135 must be filed by April 30 of the following year. When shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares of Common Stock. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of acquisition, but if you own other shares of Common Stock of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock. You should consult with your personal tax advisor to determine your reporting requirements.
The following provision applies if you are resident in Quebec:
Data Privacy. This provision supplements the Data Privacy Consent provision above in this Addendum A:

20




You hereby authorize the Company, the Employer and their representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or non-professional, involved with the administration and operation of the Plan. You further authorize the Company and its subsidiaries to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. You further authorize the Company and its subsidiaries to record such information and to keep such information in your employee file.
Chile
Securities Law Information. The offer of the RSUs constitutes a private offering in Chile effective as of the Award Date. The offer of RSUs is made subject to general ruling n° 336 of the Commission for the Financial Market (Comisión para el Mercado Financiero, “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 the RSUs are not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide information about the RSUs or shares of Common Stock in Chile. Unless the RSUs and/or the shares of Common Stock are registered with the CMF, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.
Esta oferta de Unidades de Acciones Restringidas (“RSU”) constituye una oferta privada de valores en Chile y se inicia en la Fecha de la Concesión. Esta oferta de RSU se acoge a las disposiciones de la Norma de Carácter General Nº 336 (“NCG 336”) de la Comisión para el Mercado Financiero (“CMF”).  Esta oferta versa sobre valores no inscritos en el Registro de Valores o en el Registro de Valores Extranjeros que lleva la CMF, por lo que tales valores no están sujetos a la fiscalización de ésta. Por tratarse los RSU de valores no registrados en Chile, no existe obligación por parte de la Compañía de entregar en Chile información pública respecto de los RSU or 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. You are responsible for complying with foreign exchange requirements in Chile. You should consult with your personal legal advisor regarding any applicable exchange control obligations prior to vesting in the RSUs or receiving proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting or cash dividends.
You are not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the receipt of any dividends. However, if you decide to repatriate such funds, you must do so through the Formal Exchange Market if the amount of funds exceeds US$10,000. In such case, you must report the payment to a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office receiving the funds. If your aggregate investments held outside of Chile exceed US$5,000,000 (including shares of Common Stock and any cash proceeds obtained under the Plan) in the relevant calendar year, you must report the investments quarterly to the Central Bank. Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations must be used to file this report. Please note that exchange control regulations in Chile are subject to change.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“CIRS”) requires all taxpayers to provide information annually regarding: (i) the taxes paid abroad which they will use as a credit against Chilean income taxes, and (ii) the results of foreign investments which must be submitted electronically through the CIRS website at www.sii.cl in accordance with the applicable deadlines.

You should consult with your personal legal advisor regarding how to register with the CIRS as you may be ineligible to receive certain foreign tax credits if you fail to meet the applicable reporting requirements. Exchange control and tax reporting requirements in Chile are subject to change, and you should consult with your personal legal and tax advisor regarding any reporting obligations that you may have in connection with the RSUs.

21




China
The following provisions apply if you are subject to the exchange control regulations in China, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:
Sales of Shares of Common Stock. To comply with exchange control regulations in China, you agree that the Company is authorized to force the sale of shares of Common Stock to be issued to you upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs at any time (including immediately upon vesting or after termination of your employment, as described below), and you expressly authorize the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares of Common Stock. You agree 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 you shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. You acknowledge that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares of Common Stock at any particular price.
Upon the sale of the shares of Common Stock, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale of Common Stock (less any applicable Tax-Related Items, brokerage fees or commissions) to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the restrictions set forth in this Addendum A for China below under “Exchange Control Information.” Due to fluctuations in the Common Stock price and/or applicable exchange rates between the vesting date and (if later) the date on which the shares of Common Stock are sold, the amount of proceeds realized upon sale may be more or less than the market value of the shares of Common Stock on the vesting date (which typically is the amount relevant to determining your Tax-Related Items liability). You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the Common Stock price and/or any applicable exchange rate.
Treatment of Shares of Common Stock and RSUs Upon Termination of Employment. Due to exchange control regulations in China, you understand and agree that any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and held by you in your brokerage account must be sold no later than the last business day of the month following the month of your termination of employment, or within such other period as determined by the Company or required by the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) (the “Mandatory Sale Date”). This includes any portion of shares of Common Stock that vest upon your termination of employment. For example, if your termination of employment occurs on March 14, 2019, then the Mandatory Sale Date will be April 30, 2019. You understand that any shares of Common Stock held by you that have not been sold by the Mandatory Sale Date will automatically be sold by the Company’s designated broker at the Company’s direction (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), as described under "Sales of Shares of Common Stock" above.
If all or a portion of your RSUs become distributable upon your termination of employment or at some time following your termination of employment, that portion will vest and become distributable immediately upon termination of your employment. Any shares of Common Stock distributed to you according to this paragraph must be sold by the Mandatory Sale Date or will be sold by the Company’s designated broker at the Company’s direction (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), as described under "Sales of Shares of Common Stock" above. You will not continue to vest in RSUs or be entitled to any portion of RSUs after your termination of employment.

Exchange Control Information. You understand and agree that, to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements, you are required to hold any shares of Common Stock to be issued to you upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs in the account that has been established for you with the Company's designated broker and you acknowledge that you are prohibited from transferring any such shares of

22




Common Stock to another brokerage account. In addition, you are required to immediately repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs and any dividends paid on such shares of Common Stock. You further understand that such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its subsidiaries, and you hereby consent and agree that the proceeds may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you. The Company may deliver the proceeds to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, you understand that you will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, there may be delays in delivering the proceeds to you and due to fluctuations in the Common Stock trading price and/or the U.S. dollar/PRC exchange rate between the sale/payment date and (if later) when the proceeds can be converted into local currency, the proceeds that you receive may be more or less than the market value of the Common Stock on the sale/payment date (which is the amount relevant to determining your tax liability). You agree to bear the risk of any currency fluctuation between the sale/payment date and the date of conversion of the proceeds into local currency.
You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. PRC residents are required to report to SAFE details of their foreign financial assets and liabilities, as well as details of any economic transactions conducted with non-PRC residents, either directly or through financial institutions.  Under these rules, you may be subject to reporting obligations for the Common Stock or equity awards, including RSUs, acquired under the Plan and Plan-related transactions. It is your responsibility to comply with this reporting obligation and you should consult your personal advisor in this regard.
Colombia
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. By accepting your Award of RSUs, you expressly acknowledge that, pursuant to Article 15 of Law 50/1990 (Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code), the RSUs and any payments you receive pursuant to the RSUs are wholly discretionary and are a benefit of an extraordinary nature that do not exclusively depend on your performance. Accordingly, the Plan, the RSUs and related benefits do not constitute a component of “salary” for any legal purpose, including for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as fringe benefits, vacation pay, termination or other indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions, or any other outstanding employment-related amounts, subject to the limitations provided in Law 1393/2010.
Exchange Control Information. You are responsible for complying with any and all Colombian foreign exchange restrictions, approvals and reporting requirements in connection with the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock acquired or funds received under the Plan. This may include reporting obligations to the Central Bank (Banco de la República). If applicable, you will be required to register your investment in shares of Common Stock with the Central Bank, regardless of the value of the investment. You should obtain proper legal advice to ensure compliance with applicable Colombian regulations.
Securities Law Information. The shares of Common Stock are not and will not be registered with the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the shares of Common Stock may not be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in this document should be construed as the making of a public offer of securities in Colombia.

23




Czech Republic
Exchange Control Information. The Czech National Bank may require you to fulfill certain notification duties in relation to the RSUs and the opening and maintenance of a foreign account. However, because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your personal legal advisor prior to the vesting of the RSUs and the sale of shares of Common Stock and before opening any foreign accounts in connection with the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations. It is your responsibility to comply with any applicable Czech exchange control laws.
Denmark
Stock Option Act. You acknowledge that you have received an Employer Statement in Danish which includes a description of the terms of the RSUs as required by the Danish Stock Option Act, to the extent that the Danish Stock Option Act applies to the RSUs.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. You must report any foreign bank/broker accounts and any deposits and/or shares of Common Stock held in a foreign bank or broker in your tax return.
Securities/Tax Reporting Information. As of January 1, 2019, if you hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan in a safety-deposit account (e.g., a brokerage account) with either a Danish bank or with an approved foreign broker or bank, he or she is no longer required to file a Form V (Erklaering V) with the Danish Tax Administration. Further, if you open a brokerage account (or a bank account) with a U.S. bank, the brokerage account (or bank account, as applicable) will be treated as a deposit account if cash can be held in the account. However, you are no longer required to file a Form K (Erklaering K) with the Danish Tax Administration. The Form V and Form K have been replaced by the automatic exchange of information regarding bank and brokerage accounts. You should consult with your personal advisor to ensure compliance with any applicable obligations.

Settlement of RSUs and Sale of Common Stock. Upon the vesting of the RSUs, you agree to the immediate sale of any shares of Common Stock to be issued to you upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs. You further agree that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of such shares of Common Stock (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization) and you expressly authorize the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares of Common Stock.

Upon the sale of the shares of Common Stock, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock to you, less any brokerage fees or commissions and subject to any obligation to satisfy Tax-Related Items. Due to fluctuations in the Common Stock price and/or applicable exchange rates between the vesting date and (if later) the date on which the shares of Common Stock are sold, the amount of proceeds ultimately distributed to you may be more or less than the market value of the shares of Common Stock on the vesting date (which typically is the amount relevant to determining your Tax-Related Items liability). You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the Common Stock price and/or any applicable exchange rate.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Polish residents holding foreign securities (including shares of Common Stock) and maintaining accounts abroad (including any brokerage account) must report information to the National Bank of Poland.

If you are a Polish resident, you must also retain all documents connected with any foreign exchange transactions you engage in for a period of five years, as measured from the end of the year in which such transaction occurred.

Russia
Exchange Control Information. You are responsible for complying with any applicable Russian exchange control regulations and rulings. Because Russian exchange control regulations and rulings change frequently and without notice, you should consult with a legal advisor to ensure compliance applicable to any aspect of your participation in the Plan, including the grant and vesting of the RSUs, issuance of any shares of Common Stock at vesting, receipt of any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock and/or receipt of any cash dividends.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Russian residents are required to notify Russian tax authorities within one (1) month of opening, closing or changing the details of a foreign account. Russian residents also are required to report (i) the beginning and ending balances in such a foreign bank account each year and (ii) transactions related to such a foreign account during the year to the Russian tax authorities, on or before June 1 of the following year. The tax authorities can require you to provide appropriate supporting documents related to transactions in a foreign bank account.

Securities Law Information. These materials do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia nor do they constitute placement of the shares of Common Stock in Russia. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the RSUs shall be delivered to you through a brokerage account in the U.S. You may hold shares in your brokerage account in the U.S.; however, in no event will shares issued to you and/or share certificates or other instruments be delivered to you in Russia. The issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the RSUs described herein has not and will not be registered in Russia and hence, the shares of Common Stock described herein may not be admitted or used for offering, placement or public circulation in Russia.
U.S. Transaction. You are not permitted to make any public advertising or announcements regarding the RSUs or Common Stock in Russia, or promote these shares to other Russian legal entities or individuals, and you are not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of Common Stock directly to other Russian legal entities or individuals. You are permitted to sell shares of Common Stock only on the New York Stock Exchange and only through a U.S. broker.
Data Privacy. This section replaces the Data Privacy Consent provision above in this Addendum A:
You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that the Company, any subsidiary and/or the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or passport 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 RSUs or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
You understand that Data may be transferred to Fidelity, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which assists in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. In this case, appropriate safeguards will be taken by the Company to ensure that your Data is processed with an adequate level of protection and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulation (especially through contractual clauses like European Model

30




Clauses for European countries). You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the International Compensation and Benefits Group. You authorize the Company, Fidelity and 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 your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares of Common Stock received upon vesting of the RSUs may be deposited. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.
You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you 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 and without cost, by contacting in writing the International Compensation and Benefits Group. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you RSUs or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact the International Compensation and Benefits Group.
Labor Law Information. You acknowledge that if you continue to hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan after an involuntary termination of your employment, you may not be eligible to receive unemployment benefits in Russia.
Anti-Corruption Information. Anti-corruption laws prohibit certain public servants, their spouses and their dependent children from owning any foreign source financial instruments (e.g., shares of foreign companies such as the Company).

(“SFA”).

31




Securities Law Information. The grant of RSUs is being made in reliance of section 273(1)(f) of the SFA for which it is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements under the SFA and is not made to you with a view to the RSUs being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Chief Executive Officer and Director Notification Requirement. If you are the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) or a director, associate director or shadow director of a Singapore company, you are subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements, you must notify the Singapore subsidiary in writing within two business days of any of the following events: (i) you receive or dispose of an interest (e.g., RSUs or shares of Common Stock) in the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (ii) any change in a previously-disclosed interest (e.g., forfeiture of RSUs and the sale of shares of Common Stock), or (iii) becoming the CEO or a director, associate director or a shadow director if you hold such an interest at that time.
South Africa
Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 4 of this Agreement:
You are required to immediately notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized at vesting of the RSUs. If you fail to advise the Employer of such gain, you may be liable for a fine.
Exchange Control Information. You are solely responsible for complying with applicable South African exchange control regulations, and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws. In particular, if you are a resident for exchange control purposes, you are required to obtain approval from the South African Reserve Bank for payments (including payment of proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock) that you receive into accounts based outside of South Africa (e.g., a U.S. brokerage account). Because the exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations.
Spain
Labor Law Acknowledgment. This provision supplements Sections 2(g) and 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan document.
You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, except as provided for in Section 2 of the Agreement, your termination of employment for any reason (including for the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the forfeiture of any RSUs that have not vested on the date of your termination.
In particular, you understand and agree that, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, the RSUs will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Common Stock or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination of your employment prior to vesting by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985.

32




Furthermore, you understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or a subsidiary. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any subsidiary on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, you understand that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs and the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs shall not become a part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that the RSUs would not be granted to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any Award of RSUs shall be null and void.
Securities Law Information. The RSUs and the Common Stock described in the Agreement and this Addendum A do not qualify under Spanish regulations as securities. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Agreement (including this Addendum A) has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
Exchange Control Information. If you acquire shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the RSUs and wish to import the ownership title of such shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, you must declare the importation of such securities to the Spanish Direccion General de Comercio e inversiones (the “DGCI”). Generally, the declaration must be made in January for shares of Common Stock acquired or sold during (or owned as of December 31 of) the prior year; however, if the value of shares acquired or sold exceeds the applicable threshold (currently €1,502,530) (or you hold 10% or more of the share capital of the Company or such other amount that would entitle you to join the Company’s board of directors), the declaration must be filed within one month of the acquisition or sale, as applicable. In addition, you also must file a declaration of ownership of foreign securities with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January.
You are also required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any security accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the security (including shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting of RSUs) held in such accounts and any transactions carried out with non-residents if the value of the transactions for all such accounts during the prior year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior year exceeds €1,000,000. Unvested rights (e.g., RSUs, etc.) are not considered assets or rights for purposes of this requirement.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. To the extent you hold shares of Common Stock and/or have bank accounts outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 (for each type of asset) as of December 31, you will be required to report information on such assets on your tax return for such year. After such shares of Common Stock and/or accounts are initially reported, the reporting obligation will apply for subsequent years only if the value of any previously reported shares of Common Stock or accounts increases by more than €20,000 as of each subsequent December 31 or if you sell shares of Common Stock or cancel bank accounts that were previously reported.
Sweden
There are no country-specific provisions.

33




Switzerland
Securities Law Information. The RSUs are not intended to be publicly offered in or from Switzerland. Because the offer of RSUs is considered a private offering, it is not subject to registration in Switzerland. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Plan (i) constitutes a prospectus as such term is understood pursuant to article 652a of the Swiss Code of Obligations, and neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Plan (ii) may be publicly distributed nor otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland, or (iii) have been or will be filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss regulatory authority, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
Taiwan
Securities Law Information. The grant of RSUs and any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to these RSUs are available only for employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The offer of participation in the Plan is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company.
Exchange Control Information. You may remit foreign currency (including proceeds from the sale of Common Stock) into or out of Taiwan up to US$5,000,000 per year without special permission. If the transaction amount is TWD500,000 or more in a single transaction, you must submit a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to the remitting bank and provide supporting documentation to the satisfaction of the remitting bank.
Thailand
Exchange Control Information. If the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the receipt of dividends are equal to or greater than US$50,000 or more in a single transaction, you must repatriate the proceeds to Thailand immediately upon receipt and convert the funds to Thai Baht or deposit the proceeds in a foreign currency deposit account maintained by a bank in Thailand within 360 days of remitting the proceeds to Thailand. In addition you must report the inward remittance to the Bank of Thailand on a foreign exchange transaction form. If you fail to comply with these obligations, you may be subject to penalties assessed by the Bank of Thailand. Because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your personal advisor before selling shares of Common Stock to ensure compliance with current regulations. You are responsible for ensuring compliance with all exchange control laws in Thailand, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws.
Turkey
Securities Law Information. Under Turkish law, you are not permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan in Turkey. The shares of Common Stock are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which is located outside of Turkey, under the ticker symbol “BMY” and the shares of Common Stock may be sold through this exchange.
Exchange Control Information. In certain circumstances, Turkish residents are permitted to sell shares traded on a non-Turkish stock exchange only through a financial intermediary licensed in Turkey and should be reported to the Turkish Capital Markets Board. Therefore, you may be required to appoint a Turkish broker to assist with the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. You should consult your personal legal advisor before selling any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan to confirm the applicability of this requirement.

34




United Arab Emirates
Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and RSUs. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:

You acknowledge that the RSUs and related benefits do not constitute a component of your “wages” for any legal purpose. Therefore, the RSUs and related benefits will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as social insurance contributions and/or any other labor-related amounts which may be payable.

Securities Law Information. The Plan is only being offered to qualified employees and is in the nature of providing equity incentives to employees of the Company or its subsidiary or affiliate in the UAE. Any documents related to the Plan, including the Plan, Plan prospectus and other grant documents (“Plan Documents”), are intended for distribution only to such employees and must not be delivered to, or relied on by, any other person. Prospective purchasers of the securities offered should conduct their own due diligence on the securities. If you do not understand the contents of the Plan Documents, you should consult an authorized financial adviser.

The Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority has no responsibility for reviewing or verifying any Plan Documents nor taken steps to verify the information set out in them, and thus, are not responsible for such documents.
The securities to which this summary relates may be illiquid and/or subject to restrictions on their resale. Prospective purchasers of the securities offered should conduct their own due diligence on the securities.
United Kingdom
Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 4 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 4 of the Agreement, you hereby agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).  You also hereby agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on your behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an executive officer or director of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), you understand that you may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of Tax-Related Items not collected from or paid by you because the indemnification could be considered to be a loan. In this case, any income tax not collected or paid within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and employee national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. You understand that you will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) for the value of employee NICs due on this additional benefit which the Company and/or the Employer may recover from you by any of the means set forth in Section 4 of the Agreement.
Venezuela
Investment Representation for RSUs. As a condition of the grant of the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that any shares of Common Stock you may acquire upon vesting of the RSUs are acquired as, and

35




intended to be, an investment rather than for the resale of the shares of Common Stock and conversion of the shares of Common Stock into foreign currency.
Securities Law Information. The RSUs granted under the Plan and the shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan are offered as a personal, private, exclusive transaction and are not subject to Venezuelan securities regulations. This offering does not qualify as a public offering under the laws of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and, therefore, it is not required to request the previous authorization of the National Superintendent of Securities.
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control restrictions may limit the ability to vest in the RSUs or to remit funds into Venezuela following the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs. The Company reserves the right to restrict settlement of the RSUs or to amend or cancel the RSUs at any time in order to comply with applicable exchange control laws in Venezuela. Any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan are intended to be an investment rather than for the resale and conversion of the shares into foreign currency. You are responsible for complying with exchange control laws in Venezuela and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws. Because exchange control laws and regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult with your personal legal advisor before accepting the RSUs and before selling any shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs to ensure compliance with current regulations.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT
UNDER THE BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
2012 STOCK AWARD AND INCENTIVE PLAN

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to you the Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) specified in the Grant Summary located on the Stock Plan Administrator’s website, which is incorporated into this Restricted Stock Units Agreement (the “Agreement”) and deemed to be a part hereof. The RSUs have been granted to you under Section 6(e) of the 2012 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), on the terms and conditions specified in the Grant Summary and this Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

1.    RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AWARD

The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the “Committee”) has granted to you as of the Award Date an Award of RSUs as designated herein subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Each RSU shall represent the conditional right to receive, upon settlement of the RSU, one share of Bristol-Myers Squibb Common Stock (“Common Stock”) or, at the discretion of the Company, the cash equivalent thereof (subject to any tax withholding as described in Section 4). The purpose of such Award is to motivate and retain you as an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, to encourage you to continue to give your best efforts for the Company’s future success, and to increase your proprietary interest in the Company. Except as may be required by law, you are not required to make any payment (other than payments for taxes pursuant to Section 4 hereof) or provide any consideration other than the rendering of future services to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

2.    RESTRICTIONS, FORFEITURES, AND SETTLEMENT

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, each RSU shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein during the period from the Award Date until the date such RSU has become vested and non-forfeitable such that there are no longer any RSUs that may become potentially vested and non-forfeitable (the “Restricted Period”). Vesting of the RSUs is conditioned upon you remaining continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company from the Award Date until the relevant vesting date, subject to the provisions of this Section 2. Assuming satisfaction of such employment conditions, 25% of the RSUs shall vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the Award Date (each, a “Vesting Date”).

(a)
Nontransferability. During the Restricted Period and any further period prior to settlement of your RSUs, you may not sell, transfer, pledge or assign any of the RSUs or your rights relating thereto. If you attempt to assign your rights under this Agreement in violation of the provisions herein, the Company’s obligation to settle RSUs or otherwise make payments shall terminate.

(b)
Time of Settlement. RSUs shall be settled promptly upon expiration of the Restricted Period without forfeiture of the RSUs (i.e., upon vesting), but in any event within 60 days after expiration of the Restricted Period, by delivery of one share of Common Stock for each RSU being settled, or, at the discretion of the Company, the cash equivalent thereof;

1



provided, however, that settlement of an RSU shall be subject to Plan Section 11(k), including if applicable the six-month delay rule in Plan Sections 11(k)(i)(C)(2) and 11(k)(i)(G); provided further, that no dividend or dividend equivalents will be paid, accrued or accumulated in respect of the period during which settlement was delayed. (Note: This rule may apply to any portion of the RSUs that vest after the time you become Retirement eligible under the Plan, and could apply in other cases as well). Settlement of RSUs which directly or indirectly result from adjustments to RSUs shall occur at the time of settlement of, and subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to, the granted RSUs. Settlement of cash amounts which directly or indirectly result from adjustments to RSUs shall be included as part of your regular payroll payment as soon as administratively practicable after the settlement date for the underlying RSUs, and subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to, the granted RSUs. Until shares are delivered to you in settlement of RSUs, you shall have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares issuable in settlement of the RSUs, including the right to vote the shares and receive actual dividends and other distributions on the underlying shares of Common Stock. Shares of stock issuable in settlement of RSUs shall be delivered to you upon settlement in certificated form or in such other manner as the Company may reasonably determine. At that time, you will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.

(c)
Retirement and Death. In the event of your Retirement (as that term is defined in the Plan; however, if you attain age 65 before Retirement, 100% of your RSUs held for at least one year will have vested prior to Retirement) or your death while employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company prior to the end of the Restricted Period, you, or your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, shall be deemed vested and entitled to settlement of (i.e., the Restricted Period shall expire with respect to) a proportionate number of the total number of RSUs granted (taking into account RSUs previously vested), provided that you have been continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for at least one year following the Award Date and your employment has not been terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for misconduct or other conduct deemed detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. If you are only eligible for Retirement pursuant to Plan Section 2(x)(iii), and you are employed in the United States or Puerto Rico at the time of your Retirement, you shall be entitled to the pro rata vesting described in this Section 2(c) only if you execute and do not revoke a release in favor of the Company and its predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors and employees in a form satisfactory to the Company; if you fail to execute or revoke the release, or your release fails to become effective and irrevocable within 60 days of the date your employment terminates, you shall forfeit any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment terminates. The formula for determining the proportionate number of your RSUs to become vested and non-forfeitable upon your Retirement or death is available by request from the Office of the Corporate Secretary at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154. RSUs that become vested and nonforfeitable under this Section 2(c) shall be distributed in accordance with Section 2(b) (i.e., within 60 days of the date of your death or Retirement). In the event of your becoming vested hereunder on account of death, or in the event of your death subsequent to your Retirement hereunder and prior to the delivery of shares in settlement of RSUs (not previously forfeited), shares in settlement of your RSUs shall be delivered to your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, upon presentation to the Committee of letters testamentary or other documentation satisfactory to the Committee, and your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, shall succeed to any other rights provided hereunder in the event of your death.

(d)
Termination not for Misconduct/Detrimental Conduct. In the event your employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for reasons other than

2



misconduct or other conduct deemed detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, and you are not eligible for Retirement, you shall be entitled to settlement of (i.e., the Restricted Period shall expire with respect to) a proportionate number of the total number of RSUs granted (taking into account RSUs previously vested), provided that you have been continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for at least one year following the Award Date. If you are not eligible for Retirement, and you are employed in the United States or Puerto Rico at the time of your termination, you shall be entitled to the pro rata vesting described in this Section 2(d) only if you execute and do not revoke a release in favor of the Company and its predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors and employees in a form satisfactory to the Company; if you fail to execute or revoke the release, or your release fails to become effective and irrevocable within 60 days of the date your employment terminates, you shall forfeit any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment terminates. The formula for determining the proportionate number of RSUs you are entitled to under this Section 2(d) is available by request from the Office of the Corporate Secretary at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154.

(e)
Disability. In the event you become Disabled (as that term is defined below), for the period during which you continue to be deemed to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (i.e., the period during which you receive Disability benefits), you will not be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of the RSUs. However, no period of continued Disability shall continue beyond 29 months for purposes of the RSUs, at which time you will have considered to have separated from service in accordance with applicable laws as more fully provided for herein. Upon the termination of your receipt of Disability benefits, (i) you will not be deemed to have terminated employment if you return to employment status, and (ii) if you do not return to employment status or are considered to have separated from service as noted above, you will be deemed to have terminated employment at the date of cessation of payments to you under all disability pay plans of the Company and its subsidiaries (unless you are on an approved leave of absence per Section (i) herein), with such termination treated for purposes of the RSUs as a Retirement or death (as detailed in Section 2(c) herein), or voluntary termination (as detailed in Section 2(g) herein) based on your circumstances at the time of such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” or “Disabled” shall mean qualifying for and receiving payments under a disability plan of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate either in the United States or in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, and in jurisdictions outside of the United States shall also include qualifying for and receiving payments under a mandatory or universal disability plan or program managed or maintained by the government.

(f)
Qualifying Termination Following Change in Control. In the event your employment is terminated by reason of a Qualifying Termination during the Protected Period following a Change in Control, the Restricted Period and all remaining restrictions shall expire and the RSUs shall be deemed fully vested.

(g)
Other Termination of Employment. In the event of your voluntary termination (subject to Section 2(c)), or termination by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for misconduct or other conduct deemed by the Company to be detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, you shall forfeit all unvested RSUs on the date of termination.

(h)
Other Terms.


3



(i)
In the event that you fail promptly to pay or make satisfactory arrangements as to the Tax-Related Items as provided in Section 4, all RSUs subject to restriction shall be forfeited by you and shall be deemed to be reacquired by the Company.

(ii)
You may, at any time prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, waive all rights with respect to all or some of the RSUs by delivering to the Company a written notice of such waiver.

(iii)
Termination of employment includes any event if immediately thereafter you are no longer an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, subject to Section 2(i) hereof. References in this Section 2 to employment by the Company include employment by a subsidiary of the Company. Termination of employment means an event after which you are no longer employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Such an event could include the disposition of a subsidiary or business unit by the Company or a subsidiary.

(iv)
Upon any termination of your employment, any RSUs as to which the Restricted Period has not expired at or before such termination shall be forfeited, subject to Sections 2(c)-(f) hereof. Other provisions of this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event will an RSU that has been forfeited thereafter vest or be settled.

(v)
In the event of termination of your employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, your right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active services would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any); the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of your RSUs (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

(vi)
You agree that the Company may recover any incentive-based compensation received by you under this Agreement if such recovery is pursuant to a clawback or recoupment policy approved by the Committee, even if approved subsequent to the date of this Agreement.
(i)
The following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment:

(i)
A transfer of you from the Company to a subsidiary of the Company, or vice versa, or from one subsidiary of the Company to another; and

(ii)
A leave of absence from which you return to active service for any purpose approved by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company in writing.
 
Any failure to return to active service with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company at the end of an approved leave of absence as described herein shall be deemed a voluntary termination of employment effective on the date the approved leave of absence ends, subject to applicable law and any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment terminates shall be forfeited subject to Section 2(c). During a leave of absence as provided

4



for in (ii) above, although you will be considered to have been continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and not to have had a termination of employment under this Section 2, the Committee may specify that such leave of absence period approved for your personal reasons (and provided for by any applicable law) shall not be counted in determining the period of employment for purposes of the vesting of the RSUs. In such case, the Vesting Dates for unvested RSUs shall be extended by the length of any such leave of absence.

(j)
As more fully provided for in the Plan, notwithstanding any provision herein, in any Award or in the Plan to the contrary, the terms of any Award shall be limited to those terms permitted under Code Section 409A including all applicable regulations and administrative guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”), and any terms not permitted under Section 409A shall be automatically modified and limited to the extent necessary to conform with Section 409A, but only to the extent such modification or limitation is permitted under Section 409A.

3.
NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT AND COMPANY RIGHT TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, DAMAGES, RESCISSION, FORFEITURE AND OTHER REMEDIES
You acknowledge that the grant of RSUs pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient consideration for this Agreement, including, without limitation, all applicable restrictions imposed on you by this Section 3. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-competition provisions of Section 3(c)(i)-(ii) below shall only be applicable during your employment by the Company, a subsidiary or an affiliate of the Company.
(a)
Confidentiality Obligations and Agreement. By accepting this Agreement, you agree and/or reaffirm the terms of all agreements related to treatment of Confidential Information that you signed at the inception of or during your employment, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. This includes, but is not limited to, use or disclosure of any BMS Confidential Information, Proprietary Information, or Trade Secrets to third parties. Confidential Information, Proprietary Information, and Trade secrets include, but are not limited to, any information gained in the course of your employment with the Company that is marked as confidential or could reasonably be expected to harm the Company if disclosed to third parties, including without limitation, any information that could reasonably be expected to aid a competitor or potential competitor in making inferences regarding the nature of the Company’s business activities, where such inferences could reasonably be expected to allow such competitor to compete more effectively with the Company. You agree that you will not remove or disclose Company Confidential Information, Proprietary Information or Trade Secrets. Unauthorized removal includes forwarding or downloading confidential information to personal email or other electronic media and/or copying the information to personal unencrypted thumb drives, cloud storage or drop box. Immediately upon termination of your employment for any reason, you will return to the Company all of the Company’s confidential and other business materials that you have or that are in your possession or control and all copies thereof, including all tangible embodiments thereof, whether in hard copy or electronic format and you shall not retain any versions thereof on any personal computer or any other media (e.g., flash drives, thumb drives, external hard drives and the like). In addition, you will thoroughly search personal electronic devices, drives, cloud-based storage, email, cell phones, and social media to ensure that all Company information has been deleted. In the event that you comingle personal and Company confidential information on these devices or storage media, you hereby consent to the removal and permanent deletion of all information on these devices and media. Nothing in this paragraph or Agreement limits or prohibits your

5



right to report potential violations of law, rules, or regulations to, or communicate with, cooperate with, testify before, or otherwise assist in an investigation or proceeding by, any government agency or entity, or engage in any other conduct that is required or protected by law or regulation, and you are not required to obtain the prior authorization of the Company to do so and are not required to notify the Company that you have done so. 
(b)
Inventions. To the extent permitted by local law, you agree and/or reaffirm the terms of all agreements related to inventions that you signed at the inception of or during your employment, and agree to promptly disclose and assign to the Company all of your interest in any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements and business or marketing concepts related to the current or contemplated business or activities of the Company, and which are conceived or made by you, either alone or in conjunction with others, at any time or place during the period you are employed by the Company. Upon request of the Company, including after your termination, you agree to execute, at the Company’s expense, any and all applications, assignments, or other documents which the Company shall determine necessary to apply for and obtain letters patent to protect the Company’s interest in such inventions, discoveries, and improvements and to cooperate in good faith in any legal proceedings to protect the Company’s intellectual property.
(c)
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Related Covenants. By accepting this Agreement, you agree to the restrictive covenants outlined in this section unless expressly prohibited by local law or as follows. Given the extent and nature of the confidential information that you have obtained or will obtain during the course of your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, it would be inevitable or, at the least, substantially probable that such confidential information would be disclosed or utilized by you should you obtain employment from, or otherwise become associated with, an entity or person that is engaged in a business or enterprise that directly competes with the Company. Even if not inevitable, it would be impossible or impracticable for the Company to monitor your strict compliance with your confidentiality obligations. Consequently, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly:
(i)    during the Covenant Restricted Period (as defined below), own or have any financial interest in a Competitive Business (as defined below), except that nothing in this clause shall prevent you from owning one per cent or less of the outstanding securities of any entity whose securities are traded on a U.S. national securities exchange (including NASDAQ) or an equivalent foreign exchange;
(ii)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, whether or not for compensation, either on your own behalf or as an employee, officer, agent, consultant, director, owner, partner, joint venturer, shareholder, investor, or in any other capacity, be actively connected with a Competitive Business or otherwise advise or assist a Competitive Business with regard to any product, investigational compound, technology, service or line of business that competes with any product, investigational compound, technology, service or line of business with which you worked or about which you became familiar as a result of your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company;

(iii)
for Employees in an executive, management, supervisory or business unit lead role at the time of termination, you will not, during the Covenant Restricted Period, employ, solicit for employment, solicit, induce, encourage, or participate in soliciting, inducing or encouraging any Company employee who is employed by the Company or who was employed by the Company within the twelve months preceding the

6



termination of your employment with the Company for any reason, to terminate or reduce his or her or its relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates, successors or assigns (the “Related Parties”). This restriction includes, but is not limited to, participation by you in any and all parts of the staffing and hiring processes involving a candidate regardless of the means by which the new employer became aware of the candidate;

(iv)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, solicit, induce, encourage, or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, by use of Confidential Information or otherwise, any existing or prospective customer, vendor or supplier of BMS that Employee became aware of or was introduced to in the course of Employee’s duties for BMS, to terminate, cancel or otherwise reduce its relationship with BMS, and;

(v)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, engage in any activity that is harmful to the interests of the Company or its Related Parties, including, without limitation, any conduct during the term of your employment that violates the Company’s Standards of Business Conduct and Ethics, securities trading policy and other policies.

(d)
Rescission, Forfeiture and Other Remedies. If the Company determines that you have violated any applicable provisions of Section 3(c) above during the Covenant Restricted Period, in addition to injunctive relief and damages, you agree and covenant that:
(i)
any unvested portion of the RSUs shall be immediately rescinded;

(ii)
you shall automatically forfeit any rights you may have with respect to the RSUs as of the date of such determination;

(iii)
if any part of the RSUs vests within the twelve-month period immediately preceding a violation of Section 3(c) above (or following the date of any such violation), upon the Company’s demand, you shall immediately deliver to it a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock that you acquired upon settlement of such RSUs (or an equivalent number of other shares); and

(iv)
the foregoing remedies set forth in this Section 3(d) shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedies. The Company reserves all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity.

(e)
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:
(i)
“Competitive Business” means any business that is engaged in or is about to become engaged in the development, production or sale of any product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business concerning the treatment of any disease, which product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business resembles or competes with any product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business that was sold by, or in development at, the Company or a subsidiary of the Company during your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

(ii)    The “Covenant Restricted Period” for purposes of paragraph 3.c. (iii.) and 3 c. (iv.) shall be the period during which Employee is employed by the Company and twelve (12) months after the end of Employee’s term of employment with and/or work for BMS for any reason, (e.g., restriction applies regardless of the reason for termination and includes voluntary and involuntary termination) (hereinafter

7



“Termination Date”). The “Covenant Restricted Period” for purposes of paragraphs 3 c. (i) and 3 c. (ii) shall be the period of employment by the Company, a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. In the event that the Company or a subsidiary of the Company files an action to enforce rights arising out of this Agreement, the Covenant Restricted Period shall be extended for all periods of time in which you are determined by the Court or other authority to have been in violation of the provisions of Section 3(c).
(iii)
The “Company” for purposes of this agreement means Bristol-Myers Squibb, all related companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors, assigns and all organizations acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

(f)
Severability. You acknowledge and agree that the period and scope of restriction imposed upon you by this Section 3 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired and this Agreement shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid provisions were not part of this Agreement. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permissible under law and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision. You acknowledge and agree that your covenants under this Agreement are ancillary to your employment relationship with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, but shall be independent of any other contractual relationship between you and the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. Consequently, the existence of any claim or cause of action that you may have against the Company or a subsidiary of the Company shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, nor an excuse for noncompliance with this Agreement.
(g)
Additional Remedies. You acknowledge and agree that any violation by you of this paragraph will cause irreparable harm to the Company and its Related Parties and the Company cannot be adequately compensated for such violation by damages.  Accordingly, if you violate or threaten to violate this Agreement, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have in law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled, without the posting of a bond or other security, to obtain an injunction to stop or prevent such violation, including but not limited to obtaining a temporary or preliminary injunction from a Delaware court pursuant to Section 1(a) of the Mutual Arbitration Agreement (if applicable) and Section 14 of this Agreement. You further agree that if the Company incurs legal fees or costs in enforcing this Agreement, you will reimburse the Company for such fees and costs.
(h)
Binding Obligations. These obligations shall be binding both upon you, your assigns, executors, administrators and legal representatives. At the inception of or during the course of your employment, you may have executed agreements that contain similar terms. Those agreements remain in full force and effect. In the event that there is a conflict between the terms of those agreements and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8



(i)
Enforcement. The Company retains discretion regarding whether or not to enforce the terms of the covenants contained in this Section 3 and its decision not to do so in your instance or anyone’s case shall not be considered a waiver of the Company’s right to do so.
(j)
Duty to Notify the Company and Third Parties. During your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and for a period of 12 months after your termination of employment from the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, you shall communicate any post-employment obligations under this Agreement to each subsequent employer. You also authorize the Company to notify third parties, including without limitation, customers and actual or potential employers, of the terms of this Agreement and your obligations hereunder upon your separation from the Company or your separation from employment with any subsequent employer during the Covenant Restricted Period, by providing a copy of this Agreement or otherwise.
4.    RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES

You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, including your employer (“Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax (including federal, state, local and non-U.S. taxes), social security, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you or deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to you even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any. You further acknowledge that the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate 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 RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of RSUs, the conversion of the RSUs into shares of Common Stock or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and, (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable event, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, by your acceptance of the RSUs, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a)
withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or

(b)
withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or

(c)
withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the RSUs;

provided, however, if you are a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold shares of Common Stock upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding

9



event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (a) and (b) above.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in your jurisdiction(s), in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Section 409A, if shares of Common Stock subject to RSUs will be sold on your behalf (or withheld) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the RSUs, then to the extent that any portion of the RSUs that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, then the number of such shares sold on your behalf (or withheld) shall not exceed the number of shares that equals the liability for Tax-Related Items with respect to such shares.

5.    DIVIDENDS AND ADJUSTMENTS

(a)
Dividends or dividend equivalents are not paid, accrued or accumulated on RSUs during the Restricted Period, except as provided in Section 5(b).
(b)
The number of your RSUs and/or other related terms shall be appropriately adjusted, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights with respect to RSUs, to reflect any changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock resulting from any event referred to in Plan Section 11(c) or any other “equity restructuring” as defined in FASB ASC Topic 718.
6.    EFFECT ON OTHER BENEFITS

In no event shall the value, at any time, of the RSUs or any other payment under this Agreement be included as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other compensation, retirement, or benefit plan offered to employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan. The RSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock (or their cash equivalent), and the income and value of the same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy or end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension or retirement benefits, or similar mandatory payments.

7.    ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF NATURE OF PLAN AND RSUs

In accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:
 

10



(a)
The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)
The Award of RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs even if RSUs have been awarded in the past;
(c)
All decisions with respect to future awards of RSUs or other awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)
Your participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(e)

For the Company

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company    


    
By_________________________________________________


I have read this Agreement in its entirety. I understand that this Award has been granted to provide a means for me to acquire and/or expand an ownership position in Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. I acknowledge and agree that sales of shares will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by employees. In accepting this Award, I hereby agree that Fidelity, or such other vendor as the Company may choose to administer the Plan, may provide the Company with any and all account information for the administration of this Award.

    I hereby agree to all the terms, restrictions and conditions set forth in the Agreement, including, but not limited to any post-employment covenants described herein.

Addendum A

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR RSUs IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES

Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement. This Addendum A includes special country-specific terms that apply if you are residing and/or working in one of the countries listed below. This Addendum A is part of the Agreement.
This Addendum A also includes information of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. For example, certain individual exchange control reporting requirements may apply upon vesting of the RSUs and/or sale of Common Stock. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2019 and is provided for informational purposes. Such laws are often complex and change frequently, and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time your RSUs vest or are settled, or you sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.
Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you currently are residing and/or working, transfer employment after the RSUs are granted to you, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein for the country you are residing and/or working in at the time of grant may not be applicable to you, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to you. If you transfer residency and/or employment to another country or are considered a resident of another country listed in this Addendum A after the RSUs are granted to you, the terms and/or information contained for that new country (rather than the original grant country) may be applicable to you.
All Countries
Retirement. The following provision supplements Section 2 of the Agreement:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in your jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment that applies to the RSUs when you attain age 65 or in the event of your Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the provisions of Section 2 regarding the treatment of the RSUs when you attain age 65 or in the event of your Retirement shall not be applicable to you.
All Non-European Union/Non-European Economic Area Countries
Data Privacy Consent.

By accepting the Award, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in the Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its other subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

16




You understand that the Company, the Employer and other subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, employee ID, social security number, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), tax code, hire date, termination date, termination code, division name, division code, region name, salary grade, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

You understand that Data will be transferred to Fidelity Stock Plan Services and certain of its affiliates ("Fidelity"), or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which assist in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient's country (e.g. the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the Company, Fidelity and 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 your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares of Common Stock received upon vesting of the RSUs may be deposited. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view Data, request 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 your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant RSUs or other equity awards to you or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

Upon request of the Company or the Employer, you agree to provide a separate executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company and/or the Employer) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from you for the purpose of administering your participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in your country, either now or in the future.  You understand and agree that you will not be able to participate in the Plan if you fail to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.
Argentina
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that the grant of RSUs is made by the Company (not the Employer) in its sole discretion and that the value of the RSUs or any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan shall not constitute salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, including, but not limited to, the calculation of (i) any labor benefits including, but not limited to,

17




vacation pay, thirteenth salary, compensation in lieu of notice, annual bonus, disability, and leave of absence payments, etc., or (ii) any termination or severance indemnities or similar payments.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any benefits under the Plan are considered salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, you acknowledge and agree that such benefits shall not accrue more frequently than on each vesting date.
Securities Law Information. Neither the RSUs nor the underlying shares of Common Stock are publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in Argentina.
Exchange Control Information. Certain restrictions and requirements may apply if and when you transfer proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or any cash dividends paid with respect to such shares into Argentina.
Exchange control regulations in Argentina are subject to change. You should speak with your personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations that you may have prior to vesting in the RSUs or remitting funds into Argentina, as you are responsible for complying with applicable exchange control laws.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Argentinian residents must report any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and held by the resident as of December 31st of each year to the Argentine tax authorities on their annual tax return for that year.

Australia
Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding anything else in the Agreement, you will not be entitled to, and shall not claim, any benefit under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits. Further, the Employer is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders in general meeting for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.
Australian Offer Document. The offer of RSUs is intended to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, ASIC Regulatory Guide 49 and ASIC Class Order CO 14/1000. Additional details are set forth in the Offer Document for the offer of RSUs to Australian resident employees, which will be provided to you with the Agreement.
Tax Information. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to conditions in the Act).
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control reporting is required for inbound cash transactions exceeding A$10,000 and inbound international fund transfers of any value, that do not involve an Australian bank.
Austria
Exchange Control Information. If you hold shares of Common Stock under the Plan outside of Austria (even if you hold them outside of Austria at a branch of an Austrian bank) or cash (including proceeds from the sale of Common Stock), you may be required to submit a report to the Austrian National Bank as follows: (i) on a quarterly basis if the value of the Common Stock as of any given quarter meets or exceeds €30,000,000; and (ii) on an annual basis if the value of the Common Stock as of December 31 meets or exceeds €5,000,000. The deadline to file the quarterly report is the 15th day of the month

18




following the end of the respective quarter. The deadline to file the annual report is January 31 of the following year.
When shares of Common Stock are sold, there may be exchange control obligations if the cash proceeds from the sale are held outside Austria. If the transaction volume of all your cash accounts abroad meets or exceeds €10,000,000, the movements and the balance of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month. If the transaction value of all cash accounts abroad is less than €10,000,000, no ongoing reporting requirements apply.
Belgium
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If you are a Belgian resident, you are required to report any taxable income attributable to the grant of the RSUs on your annual tax return. In addition, if you are a Belgian resident, you are required to report any securities held (including shares of Common Stock) or bank accounts ( including brokerage accounts) you maintain outside of Belgium on your annual tax return. In a separate report, you will be required to provide the National Bank of Belgium with certain details regarding such foreign accounts (including the account number, bank name and country in which any such account was opened). The forms to complete this report are available on the website of the National Bank of Belgium.
Stock Exchange Tax Information. A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by a Belgian resident through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, such as a U.S. broker. The stock exchange tax likely will apply when shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan are sold. You should consult with your tax or financial advisor for additional details on your obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
Brokerage Account Tax Information. You may be subject to a brokerage account tax if the average annual value of securities (including shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) held by you in a brokerage account exceeds certain thresholds. As the calculation of this tax is complex, you should consult your personal tax advisor for more details.
Brazil
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that (i) you are making an investment decision, and (ii) the value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is not fixed and may increase or decrease in value over the Restricted Period.
Compliance with Laws. By accepting the RSUs, you agree that you will comply with Brazilian law when you vest in the RSUs and sell shares of Common Stock. You also agree to report and pay any and all taxes associated with the vesting of the RSUs, the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan and the receipt of any dividends.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting. You must prepare and submit a declaration of assets and rights held outside of Brazil to the Central Bank on an annual basis if you hold assets or rights valued at more than US$100,000. Quarterly reporting is required if such amount exceeds US$100,000,000. The assets and rights that must be reported include shares of Common Stock.
Tax on Financial Transaction (IOF). Repatriation of funds (e.g., sale proceeds) into Brazil and the conversion of USD into BRL associated with such fund transfers may be subject to the Tax on Financial

19




Transactions. It is your responsibility to comply with any applicable Tax on Financial Transactions arising from your participation in the Plan.
Bulgaria
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. You may be required to report annually to the Bulgarian National Bank details of your receivables in bank accounts held abroad as well as your securities held abroad if the aggregate value of such receivables and securities is equal to or exceeds a certain threshold.
Canada
Settlement of RSUs. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, RSUs will be settled in shares of Common Stock only, not cash.
Securities Law Information. You acknowledge and agree that you will sell shares of Common Stock acquired through participation in the Plan only outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. Currently, the shares of Common Stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Termination of Employment. This provision replaces the second paragraph of Section 2(h)(v) of the Agreement:
In the event of termination of your employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, your right to vest in the RSUs, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that is the earlier of (1) the date upon which your employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated; (2) the date you are no longer actively employed by or providing services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (3) the date you receive written notice of termination of employment, regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under applicable laws (including, but not limited to statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer employed or actively providing services for purposes of the RSUs (including whether you may still be considered employed or actively providing services while on a leave of absence).
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. You may be required to report your foreign specified property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of your foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time in the year. Foreign property includes cash held outside of Canada and shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, and rights to receive shares of Common Stock (e.g., RSUs). Thus, RSUs must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified property. The Form T1135 must be filed by April 30 of the following year. When shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares of Common Stock. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of acquisition, but if you own other shares of Common Stock of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock. You should consult with your personal tax advisor to determine your reporting requirements.
The following provision applies if you are resident in Quebec:
Data Privacy. This provision supplements the Data Privacy Consent provision above in this Addendum A:

20




You hereby authorize the Company, the Employer and their representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or non-professional, involved with the administration and operation of the Plan. You further authorize the Company and its subsidiaries to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. You further authorize the Company and its subsidiaries to record such information and to keep such information in your employee file.
Chile
Securities Law Information. The offer of the RSUs constitutes a private offering in Chile effective as of the Award Date. The offer of RSUs is made subject to general ruling n° 336 of the Commission for the Financial Market (Comisión para el Mercado Financiero, “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 the RSUs are not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide information about the RSUs or shares of Common Stock in Chile. Unless the RSUs and/or the shares of Common Stock are registered with the CMF, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.
Esta oferta de Unidades de Acciones Restringidas (“RSU”) constituye una oferta privada de valores en Chile y se inicia en la Fecha de la Concesión. Esta oferta de RSU se acoge a las disposiciones de la Norma de Carácter General Nº 336 (“NCG 336”) de la Comisión para el Mercado Financiero (“CMF”).  Esta oferta versa sobre valores no inscritos en el Registro de Valores o en el Registro de Valores Extranjeros que lleva la CMF, por lo que tales valores no están sujetos a la fiscalización de ésta. Por tratarse los RSU de valores no registrados en Chile, no existe obligación por parte de la Compañía de entregar en Chile información pública respecto de los RSU or 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. You are responsible for complying with foreign exchange requirements in Chile. You should consult with your personal legal advisor regarding any applicable exchange control obligations prior to vesting in the RSUs or receiving proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting or cash dividends.
You are not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the receipt of any dividends. However, if you decide to repatriate such funds, you must do so through the Formal Exchange Market if the amount of funds exceeds US$10,000. In such case, you must report the payment to a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office receiving the funds. If your aggregate investments held outside of Chile exceed US$5,000,000 (including shares of Common Stock and any cash proceeds obtained under the Plan) in the relevant calendar year, you must report the investments quarterly to the Central Bank. Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations must be used to file this report. Please note that exchange control regulations in Chile are subject to change.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“CIRS”) requires all taxpayers to provide information annually regarding: (i) the taxes paid abroad which they will use as a credit against Chilean income taxes, and (ii) the results of foreign investments which must be submitted electronically through the CIRS website at www.sii.cl in accordance with the applicable deadlines.

You should consult with your personal legal advisor regarding how to register with the CIRS as you may be ineligible to receive certain foreign tax credits if you fail to meet the applicable reporting requirements. Exchange control and tax reporting requirements in Chile are subject to change, and you should consult with your personal legal and tax advisor regarding any reporting obligations that you may have in connection with the RSUs.

21




China
The following provisions apply if you are subject to the exchange control regulations in China, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:
Sales of Shares of Common Stock. To comply with exchange control regulations in China, you agree that the Company is authorized to force the sale of shares of Common Stock to be issued to you upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs at any time (including immediately upon vesting or after termination of your employment, as described below), and you expressly authorize the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares of Common Stock. You agree 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 you shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. You acknowledge that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares of Common Stock at any particular price.
Upon the sale of the shares of Common Stock, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale of Common Stock (less any applicable Tax-Related Items, brokerage fees or commissions) to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the restrictions set forth in this Addendum A for China below under “Exchange Control Information.” Due to fluctuations in the Common Stock price and/or applicable exchange rates between the vesting date and (if later) the date on which the shares of Common Stock are sold, the amount of proceeds realized upon sale may be more or less than the market value of the shares of Common Stock on the vesting date (which typically is the amount relevant to determining your Tax-Related Items liability). You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the Common Stock price and/or any applicable exchange rate.
Treatment of Shares of Common Stock and RSUs Upon Termination of Employment. Due to exchange control regulations in China, you understand and agree that any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and held by you in your brokerage account must be sold no later than the last business day of the month following the month of your termination of employment, or within such other period as determined by the Company or required by the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) (the “Mandatory Sale Date”). This includes any portion of shares of Common Stock that vest upon your termination of employment. For example, if your termination of employment occurs on March 14, 2019, then the Mandatory Sale Date will be April 30, 2019. You understand that any shares of Common Stock held by you that have not been sold by the Mandatory Sale Date will automatically be sold by the Company’s designated broker at the Company’s direction (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), as described under “Sales of Shares of Common Stock” above.
If all or a portion of your RSUs become distributable upon your termination of employment or at some time following your termination of employment, that portion will vest and become distributable immediately upon termination of your employment. Any shares of Common Stock distributed to you according to this paragraph must be sold by the Mandatory Sale Date or will be sold by the Company’s designated broker at the Company’s direction (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), as described under “Sales of Shares of Common Stock” above. You will not continue to vest in RSUs or be entitled to any portion of RSUs after your termination of employment.

Exchange Control Information. You understand and agree that, to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements, you are required to hold any shares of Common Stock to be issued to you upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs in the account that has been established for you with the Company’s designated broker and you acknowledge that you are prohibited from transferring any such shares of

22




Common Stock to another brokerage account. In addition, you are required to immediately repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs and any dividends paid on such shares of Common Stock. You further understand that such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its subsidiaries, and you hereby consent and agree that the proceeds may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you. The Company may deliver the proceeds to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, you understand that you will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, there may be delays in delivering the proceeds to you and due to fluctuations in the Common Stock trading price and/or the U.S. dollar/PRC exchange rate between the sale/payment date and (if later) when the proceeds can be converted into local currency, the proceeds that you receive may be more or less than the market value of the Common Stock on the sale/payment date (which is the amount relevant to determining your tax liability). You agree to bear the risk of any currency fluctuation between the sale/payment date and the date of conversion of the proceeds into local currency.
You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

It is your responsibility to comply with this reporting obligation and you should consult your personal advisor in this regard.
Colombia
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. By accepting your Award of RSUs, you expressly acknowledge that, pursuant to Article 15 of Law 50/1990 (Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code), the RSUs and any payments you receive pursuant to the RSUs are wholly discretionary and are a benefit of an extraordinary nature that do not exclusively depend on your performance. Accordingly, the Plan, the RSUs and related benefits do not constitute a component of “salary” for any legal purpose, including for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as fringe benefits, vacation pay, termination or other indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions, or any other outstanding employment-related amounts, subject to the limitations provided in Law 1393/2010.

You should obtain proper legal advice to ensure compliance with applicable Colombian regulations.
Securities Law Information. The shares of Common Stock are not and will not be registered with the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the shares of Common Stock may not be offered to the public in Colombia.

Exchange Control Information. You are responsible for complying with any applicable Russian exchange control regulations and rulings. Because Russian exchange control regulations and rulings change frequently and without notice, you should consult with a legal advisor to ensure compliance applicable to any aspect of your participation in the Plan, including the grant and vesting of the RSUs, issuance of any shares of Common Stock at vesting, receipt of any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock and/or receipt of any cash dividends.

The tax authorities can require you to provide appropriate supporting documents related to transactions in a foreign bank account.

Securities Law Information. These materials do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia nor do they constitute placement of the shares of Common Stock in Russia. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the RSUs shall be delivered to you through a brokerage account in the U.S. You may hold shares in your brokerage account in the U.S.; however, in no event will shares issued to you and/or share certificates or other instruments be delivered to you in Russia. The issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the RSUs described herein has not and will not be registered in Russia and hence, the shares of Common Stock described herein may not be admitted or used for offering, placement or public circulation in Russia.
U.S. Transaction. You are not permitted to make any public advertising or announcements regarding the RSUs or Common Stock in Russia, or promote these shares to other Russian legal entities or individuals, and you are not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of Common Stock directly to other Russian legal entities or individuals. You are permitted to sell shares of Common Stock only on the New York Stock Exchange and only through a U.S. broker.
Data Privacy. This section replaces the Data Privacy Consent provision above in this Addendum A:
You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that the Company, any subsidiary and/or the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or passport 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 RSUs or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
You understand that Data may be transferred to Fidelity, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which assists in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. In this case, appropriate safeguards will be taken by the Company to ensure that your Data is processed with an adequate level of protection and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulation (especially through contractual clauses like European Model

30




Clauses for European countries). You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the International Compensation and Benefits Group. You authorize the Company, Fidelity and 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 your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares of Common Stock received upon vesting of the RSUs may be deposited. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.
You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you 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 and without cost, by contacting in writing the International Compensation and Benefits Group. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you RSUs or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact the International Compensation and Benefits Group.
Labor Law Information. You acknowledge that if you continue to hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan after an involuntary termination of your employment, you may not be eligible to receive unemployment benefits in Russia.
Anti-Corruption Information. Anti-corruption laws prohibit certain public servants, their spouses and their dependent children from owning any foreign source financial instruments (e.g., shares of foreign companies such as the Company).

(“SFA”).

31




Securities Law Information. The grant of RSUs is being made in reliance of section 273(1)(f) of the SFA for which it is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements under the SFA and is not made to you with a view to the RSUs being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Chief Executive Officer and Director Notification Requirement.

Among these requirements, you must notify the Singapore subsidiary in writing within two business days of any of the following events: (i) you receive or dispose of an interest (e.g., RSUs or shares of Common Stock) in the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (ii) any change in a previously-disclosed interest (e.g., forfeiture of RSUs and the sale of shares of Common Stock), or (iii) becoming the CEO or a director, associate director or a shadow director if you hold such an interest at that time.
South Africa
Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 4 of this Agreement:
You are required to immediately notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized at vesting of the RSUs. If you fail to advise the Employer of such gain, you may be liable for a fine.
Exchange Control Information. You are solely responsible for complying with applicable South African exchange control regulations, and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws. In particular, if you are a resident for exchange control purposes, you are required to obtain approval from the South African Reserve Bank for payments (including payment of proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock) that you receive into accounts based outside of South Africa (e.g., a U.S. brokerage account). Because the exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations.
Spain
Labor Law Acknowledgment. This provision supplements Sections 2(g) and 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan document.
You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, except as provided for in Section 2 of the Agreement, your termination of employment for any reason (including for the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the forfeiture of any RSUs that have not vested on the date of your termination.
In particular, you understand and agree that, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, the RSUs will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Common Stock or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination of your employment prior to vesting by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985.

32




Furthermore, you understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or a subsidiary. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any subsidiary on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, you understand that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs and the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs shall not become a part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that the RSUs would not be granted to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any Award of RSUs shall be null and void.
Securities Law Information. The RSUs and the Common Stock described in the Agreement and this Addendum A do not qualify under Spanish regulations as securities. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Agreement (including this Addendum A) has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
Exchange Control Information. If you acquire shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the RSUs and wish to import the ownership title of such shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, you must declare the importation of such securities to the Spanish Direccion General de Comercio e inversiones (the “DGCI”). Generally, the declaration must be made in January for shares of Common Stock acquired or sold during (or owned as of December 31 of) the prior year; however, if the value of shares acquired or sold exceeds the applicable threshold (currently €1,502,530) (or you hold 10% or more of the share capital of the Company or such other amount that would entitle you to join the Company’s board of directors), the declaration must be filed within one month of the acquisition or sale, as applicable. In addition, you also must file a declaration of ownership of foreign securities with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January.
You are also required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any security accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the security (including shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting of RSUs) held in such accounts and any transactions carried out with non-residents if the value of the transactions for all such accounts during the prior year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior year exceeds €1,000,000. Unvested rights (e.g., RSUs, etc.) are not considered assets or rights for purposes of this requirement.

To the extent you hold shares of Common Stock and/or have bank accounts outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 (for each type of asset) as of December 31, you will be required to report information on such assets on your tax return for such year. After such shares of Common Stock and/or accounts are initially reported, the reporting obligation will apply for subsequent years only if the value of any previously reported shares of Common Stock or accounts increases by more than €20,000 as of each subsequent December 31 or if you sell shares of Common Stock or cancel bank accounts that were previously reported.
Sweden
There are no country-specific provisions.

Switzerland
Securities Law Information. The RSUs are not intended to be publicly offered in or from Switzerland. Because the offer of RSUs is considered a private offering, it is not subject to registration in Switzerland. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Plan (i) constitutes a prospectus as such term is understood pursuant to article 652a of the Swiss Code of Obligations, and neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Plan (ii) may be publicly distributed nor otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland, or (iii) have been or will be filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss regulatory authority, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
Taiwan
Securities Law Information. The grant of RSUs and any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to these RSUs are available only for employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The offer of participation in the Plan is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company.
Exchange Control Information. You may remit foreign currency (including proceeds from the sale of Common Stock) into or out of Taiwan up to US$5,000,000 per year without special permission. If the transaction amount is TWD500,000 or more in a single transaction, you must submit a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to the remitting bank and provide supporting documentation to the satisfaction of the remitting bank.
Thailand
Exchange Control Information. If the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the receipt of dividends are equal to or greater than US$50,000 or more in a single transaction, you must repatriate the proceeds to Thailand immediately upon receipt and convert the funds to Thai Baht or deposit the proceeds in a foreign currency deposit account maintained by a bank in Thailand within 360 days of remitting the proceeds to Thailand. In addition you must report the inward remittance to the Bank of Thailand on a foreign exchange transaction form. If you fail to comply with these obligations, you may be subject to penalties assessed by the Bank of Thailand. Because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your personal advisor before selling shares of Common Stock to ensure compliance with current regulations. You are responsible for ensuring compliance with all exchange control laws in Thailand, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws.
Turkey
Securities Law Information. Under Turkish law, you are not permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan in Turkey. The shares of Common Stock are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which is located outside of Turkey, under the ticker symbol “BMY” and the shares of Common Stock may be sold through this exchange.
Exchange Control Information. In certain circumstances, Turkish residents are permitted to sell shares traded on a non-Turkish stock exchange only through a financial intermediary licensed in Turkey and should be reported to the Turkish Capital Markets Board. Therefore, you may be required to appoint a Turkish broker to assist with the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. You should consult your personal legal advisor before selling any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan to confirm the applicability of this requirement.

United Arab Emirates
Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and RSUs. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:

You acknowledge that the RSUs and related benefits do not constitute a component of your “wages” for any legal purpose. Therefore, the RSUs and related benefits will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as social insurance contributions and/or any other labor-related amounts which may be payable.
Securities Law Information. The Plan is only being offered to qualified employees and is in the nature of providing equity incentives to employees of the Company or its subsidiary or affiliate in the UAE. Any documents related to the Plan, including the Plan, Plan prospectus and other grant documents (“Plan Documents”), are intended for distribution only to such employees and must not be delivered to, or relied on by, any other person. Prospective purchasers of the securities offered should conduct their own due diligence on the securities. If you do not understand the contents of the Plan Documents, you should consult an authorized financial adviser.

The Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority has no responsibility for reviewing or verifying any Plan Documents nor taken steps to verify the information set out in them, and thus, are not responsible for such documents.
The securities to which this summary relates may be illiquid and/or subject to restrictions on their resale. Prospective purchasers of the securities offered should conduct their own due diligence on the securities.
United Kingdom
Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 4 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 4 of the Agreement, you hereby agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).  You also hereby agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on your behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an executive officer or director of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), you understand that you may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of Tax-Related Items not collected from or paid by you because the indemnification could be considered to be a loan. In this case, any income tax not collected or paid within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and employee national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. You understand that you will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) for the value of employee NICs due on this additional benefit which the Company and/or the Employer may recover from you by any of the means set forth in Section 4 of the Agreement.
Venezuela
Investment Representation for RSUs. As a condition of the grant of the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that any shares of Common Stock you may acquire upon vesting of the RSUs are acquired as, and

35




intended to be, an investment rather than for the resale of the shares of Common Stock and conversion of the shares of Common Stock into foreign currency.
Securities Law Information. The RSUs granted under the Plan and the shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan are offered as a personal, private, exclusive transaction and are not subject to Venezuelan securities regulations. This offering does not qualify as a public offering under the laws of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and, therefore, it is not required to request the previous authorization of the National Superintendent of Securities.
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control restrictions may limit the ability to vest in the RSUs or to remit funds into Venezuela following the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs. The Company reserves the right to restrict settlement of the RSUs or to amend or cancel the RSUs at any time in order to comply with applicable exchange control laws in Venezuela. Any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan are intended to be an investment rather than for the resale and conversion of the shares into foreign currency. You are responsible for complying with exchange control laws in Venezuela and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws. Because exchange control laws and regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult with your personal legal advisor before accepting the RSUs and before selling any shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs to ensure compliance with current regulations.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT
UNDER THE BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
2012 STOCK AWARD AND INCENTIVE PLAN

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to you the Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) specified in the Grant Summary located on the Stock Plan Administrator’s website, which is incorporated into this Restricted Stock Units Agreement (the “Agreement”) and deemed to be a part hereof. The RSUs have been granted to you under Section 6(e) of the 2012 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), on the terms and conditions specified in the Grant Summary and this Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

1.    RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AWARD

The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the “Committee”) has granted to you as of the Award Date an Award of RSUs as designated herein subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Each RSU shall represent the conditional right to receive, upon settlement of the RSU, one share of Bristol-Myers Squibb Common Stock (“Common Stock”) or, at the discretion of the Company, the cash equivalent thereof (subject to any tax withholding as described in Section 4). The purpose of such Award is to motivate and retain you as an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, to encourage you to continue to give your best efforts for the Company’s future success, and to increase your proprietary interest in the Company. Except as may be required by law, you are not required to make any payment (other than payments for taxes pursuant to Section 4 hereof) or provide any consideration other than the rendering of future services to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

2.    RESTRICTIONS, FORFEITURES, AND SETTLEMENT

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, each RSU shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein during the period from the Award Date until the date such RSU has become vested and non-forfeitable such that there are no longer any RSUs that may become potentially vested and non-forfeitable (the “Restricted Period”). Vesting of the RSUs is conditioned upon you remaining continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company from the Award Date until the relevant vesting date, subject to the provisions of this Section 2. Assuming satisfaction of such employment conditions, 100% of the RSUs shall vest on the first anniversary of the Award Date (the “Vesting Date”), provided, that, all shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs (net of any shares withheld or sold for taxes) in accordance with Section 2(b) shall be subject to an additional two year post-vest holding period (the “Post-Vest Holding Period”), and during such Post-Vest Holding Period, you may not Transfer (as defined below) any of the shares of Common Stock issued to you pursuant to the vested RSUs.

(a)
Nontransferability. (i) During the Restricted Period and any further period prior to settlement of your RSUs, you may not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any of the RSUs or your rights relating thereto, and (ii) during the Post-Vest Holding Period, you may not Transfer any rights relating to the vested RSUs, including the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any vested RSUs. If you attempt to Transfer your rights under this Agreement in violation of the provisions herein, the Company’s obligation to settle RSUs or otherwise make payments shall terminate.

(b)
Time of Settlement. RSUs shall be settled promptly upon expiration of the Restricted Period without forfeiture of the RSUs (i.e., upon vesting), but in any event within 60 days after expiration of the Restricted Period, by delivery of one share of Common Stock for each RSU being settled, or, at the

1    


                                        


discretion of the Company, the cash equivalent thereof; provided, however, that settlement of an RSU shall be subject to Plan Section 11(k), including if applicable the six-month delay rule in Plan Sections 11(k)(i)(C)(2) and 11(k)(i)(G) and the Post-Vest Holding Period; provided further, that no dividend or dividend equivalents will be paid, accrued or accumulated in respect of the period during which settlement was delayed. (Note: This rule may apply to any portion of the RSUs that vest after the time you become Retirement eligible under the Plan, and could apply in other cases as well). Settlement of RSUs which directly or indirectly result from adjustments to RSUs shall occur at the time of settlement of, and subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to, the granted RSUs, including the Post-Vest Holding Period. Settlement of cash amounts which directly or indirectly result from adjustments to RSUs shall be included as part of your regular payroll payment as soon as administratively practicable after the settlement date for the underlying RSUs, and subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to, the granted RSUs, including the Post-Vest Holding Period. Until shares are delivered to you in settlement of RSUs, you shall have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares issuable in settlement of the RSUs, including the right to vote the shares and receive actual dividends and other distributions on the underlying shares of Common Stock. Shares of stock issuable in settlement of RSUs shall be delivered to you upon settlement in certificated form or in such other manner as the Company may reasonably determine. At that time, you will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, subject to any restrictions and conditions that apply to the shares of Common Stock issuable in settlement of the RSUs, including the Post-Vest Holding Period.

(c)
Retirement and Death.

(i)    In the event of your Retirement (as that term is defined in the Plan; however, if such Retirement is voluntary, you shall forfeit all unvested RSUs on the date of termination) prior to the end of the Restricted Period, you, shall be deemed vested and entitled to settlement of (i.e., the Restricted Period shall expire with respect to) a proportionate number of the total number of RSUs granted, provided that your employment has not been terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for misconduct or other conduct deemed detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. If you are only eligible for Retirement pursuant to Plan Section 2(x)(iii), and you are employed in the United States or Puerto Rico at the time of your Retirement, you shall be entitled to the pro rata vesting described in this Section 2(c) only if you execute and do not revoke a release in favor of the Company and its predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors and employees in a form satisfactory to the Company; if you fail to execute or revoke the release, or your release fails to become effective and irrevocable within 60 days of the date your employment terminates, you shall forfeit any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment terminates.

(ii)    In the event of your death while employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company prior to the end of the Restricted Period, your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, shall be deemed vested and entitled to settlement of (i.e., the Restricted Period shall expire with respect to) a proportionate number of the total number of RSUs granted -.

(iii)    The formula for determining the proportionate number of your RSUs to become vested and non-forfeitable upon your Retirement or death is available by request from the Office of the Corporate Secretary at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154. RSUs that become vested and nonforfeitable under this Section 2(c) shall be distributed in accordance with Section 2(b) (i.e., within 60 days of the date of your death or Retirement). In the event of your becoming vested hereunder on account of death, or in the event of your death subsequent to your Retirement hereunder and prior to the delivery of shares in settlement of RSUs (not previously forfeited), shares in settlement of your RSUs shall be delivered to your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, upon presentation to the Committee of letters testamentary or other documentation satisfactory to the Committee, and your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, shall succeed to any other rights provided hereunder in the event of your death. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 2(c) to the contrary, except in the case of your death, all shares issued in settlement of any vested RSUs pursuant to this Section shall continue to be subject to the Post-Vest Holding Period.

(d)
Termination not for Misconduct/Detrimental Conduct. In the event your employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for reasons other than misconduct or other conduct deemed detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, and you are not eligible for Retirement, you shall be entitled to settlement of (i.e., the Restricted Period shall expire with respect to) a proportionate number of the total number of RSUs granted, provided that all shares issued in settlement of any vested RSUs pursuant to this Section shall continue to be subject to the Post-Vest Holding Period. If you are not eligible for Retirement, and you are employed in the United States or Puerto Rico at the time of your termination, you shall be entitled to the pro rata vesting described in this Section 2(d) only if you execute and do not revoke a release in favor of the Company and its predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors and employees in a form satisfactory to the Company; if you fail to execute or revoke the release, or your release fails to become effective and irrevocable within 60 days of the date your employment terminates, you shall forfeit any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment terminates. The formula for determining the proportionate number of RSUs you are entitled to under this Section 2(d) is available by request from the Office of the Corporate Secretary at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154.

(e)
Disability. In the event you become Disabled (as that term is defined below), for the period during which you continue to be deemed to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (i.e., the period during which you receive Disability benefits), you will not be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of the RSUs. However, no period of continued Disability shall continue beyond 29 months for purposes of the RSUs, at which time you will have considered to have separated from service in accordance with applicable laws as more fully provided for herein. Upon the termination of your receipt of Disability benefits, (i) you will not be deemed to have terminated employment if you return to employment status, and (ii) if you do not return to employment status or are considered to have separated from service as noted above, you will be deemed to have terminated employment at the date of cessation of payments to you under all disability pay plans of the Company and its subsidiaries (unless you are on an approved leave of absence per Section (i) herein), with such termination treated for purposes of the RSUs as a Retirement or death (as detailed in Section 2(c) herein), or voluntary termination (as detailed in Section 2(g) herein) based on your circumstances at the time of such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” or “Disabled” shall mean qualifying for and receiving payments under a disability plan of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate either in the United States or in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, and in jurisdictions outside of the United States shall also include qualifying for and receiving payments under a mandatory or universal disability plan or program managed or maintained by the government.

(f)
Qualifying Termination Following Change in Control. In the event your employment is terminated by reason of a Qualifying Termination during the Protected Period following a Change in Control, the Restricted Period and all remaining restrictions shall expire and the RSUs shall be deemed fully vested.

(g)
Other Termination of Employment. In the event of your voluntary termination, including a voluntary retirement (subject to Section 2(c)), or termination by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for misconduct or other conduct deemed by the Company to be detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, you shall forfeit all unvested RSUs on the date of termination.

(h)
Other Terms.

(i)
In the event that you fail promptly to pay or make satisfactory arrangements as to the Tax-Related Items as provided in Section 4, all RSUs subject to restriction shall be forfeited by you and shall be deemed to be reacquired by the Company.


3


                                        


(ii)
You may, at any time prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, waive all rights with respect to all or some of the RSUs by delivering to the Company a written notice of such waiver.

(iii)
Termination of employment includes any event if immediately thereafter you are no longer an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, subject to Section 2(i) hereof. References in this Section 2 to employment by the Company include employment by a subsidiary of the Company. Termination of employment means an event after which you are no longer employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Such an event could include the disposition of a subsidiary or business unit by the Company or a subsidiary.

(iv)
Upon any termination of your employment, any RSUs as to which the Restricted Period has not expired at or before such termination shall be forfeited, subject to Sections 2(c)-(f) hereof. Other provisions of this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event will an RSU that has been forfeited thereafter vest or be settled.

(v)
In the event of termination of your employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, your right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active services would not include any contractual notice period or any period of "garden leave" or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any); the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of your RSUs (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

(vi)
You agree that the Company may recover any incentive-based compensation received by you under this Agreement if such recovery is pursuant to a clawback or recoupment policy approved by the Committee, even if approved subsequent to the date of this Agreement.
(i)
The following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment:

(i)
A transfer of you from the Company to a subsidiary of the Company, or vice versa, or from one subsidiary of the Company to another; and

(ii)
A leave of absence from which you return to active service for any purpose approved by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company in writing.
 
Any failure to return to active service with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company at the end of an approved leave of absence as described herein shall be deemed a voluntary termination of employment effective on the date the approved leave of absence ends, subject to applicable law and any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment terminates shall be forfeited subject to Section 2(c) provided, that, all shares issued in settlement of any previously vested RSUs shall continue to be subject to the Post-Vest Holding Period. During a leave of absence as provided for in (ii) above, although you will be considered to have been continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and not to have had a termination of employment under this Section 2, the Committee may specify that such leave of absence period approved for your personal reasons (and provided for by any applicable law) shall not be counted in determining the period of employment for purposes of the vesting of the RSUs. In such case, the Vesting Date for unvested RSUs shall be extended by the length of any such leave of absence.

(j)
As more fully provided for in the Plan, notwithstanding any provision herein, in any Award or in the Plan to the contrary, the terms of any Award shall be limited to those terms permitted under Code Section 409A including all applicable regulations and administrative guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”), and any terms not permitted under Section 409A shall be automatically modified and

4


                                        


limited to the extent necessary to conform with Section 409A, but only to the extent such modification or limitation is permitted under Section 409A.

3.
NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT AND COMPANY RIGHT TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, DAMAGES, RESCISSION, FORFEITURE AND OTHER REMEDIES
You acknowledge that the grant of RSUs pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient consideration for this Agreement, including, without limitation, all applicable restrictions imposed on you by this Section 3. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-competition provisions of Section 3(c)(i)-(ii) below shall only be applicable during your employment by the Company, a subsidiary or an affiliate of the Company.
(a)
Confidentiality Obligations and Agreement. By accepting this Agreement, you agree and/or reaffirm the terms of all agreements related to treatment of Confidential Information that you signed at the inception of or during your employment, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. This includes, but is not limited to, use or disclosure of any BMS Confidential Information, Proprietary Information, or Trade Secrets to third parties. Confidential Information, Proprietary Information, and Trade secrets include, but are not limited to, any information gained in the course of your employment with the Company that is marked as confidential or could reasonably be expected to harm the Company if disclosed to third parties, including without limitation, any information that could reasonably be expected to aid a competitor or potential competitor in making inferences regarding the nature of the Company’s business activities, where such inferences could reasonably be expected to allow such competitor to compete more effectively with the Company. You agree that you will not remove or disclose Company Confidential Information, Proprietary Information or Trade Secrets. Unauthorized removal includes forwarding or downloading confidential information to personal email or other electronic media and/or copying the information to personal unencrypted thumb drives, cloud storage or drop box. Immediately upon termination of your employment for any reason, you will return to the Company all of the Company’s confidential and other business materials that you have or that are in your possession or control and all copies thereof, including all tangible embodiments thereof, whether in hard copy or electronic format and you shall not retain any versions thereof on any personal computer or any other media (e.g., flash drives, thumb drives, external hard drives and the like). In addition, you will thoroughly search personal electronic devices, drives, cloud-based storage, email, cell phones, and social media to ensure that all Company information has been deleted. In the event that you comingle personal and Company confidential information on these devices or storage media, you hereby consent to the removal and permanent deletion of all information on these devices and media. Nothing in this paragraph or Agreement limits or prohibits your right to report potential violations of law, rules, or regulations to, or communicate with, cooperate with, testify before, or otherwise assist in an investigation or proceeding by, any government agency or entity, or engage in any other conduct that is required or protected by law or regulation, and you are not required to obtain the prior authorization of the Company to do so and are not required to notify the Company that you have done so. 
(b)
Inventions. To the extent permitted by local law, you agree and/or reaffirm the terms of all agreements related to inventions that you signed at the inception of or during your employment, and agree to promptly disclose and assign to the Company all of your interest in any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements and business or marketing concepts related to the current or contemplated business or activities of the Company, and which are conceived or made by you, either alone or in conjunction with others, at any time or place during the period you are employed by the Company. Upon request of the Company, including after your termination, you agree to execute, at the Company’s expense, any and all applications, assignments, or other documents which the Company shall determine necessary to apply for and obtain letters patent to protect the Company’s interest in such inventions, discoveries, and improvements and to cooperate in good faith in any legal proceedings to protect the Company’s intellectual property.
(c)
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Related Covenants. By accepting this Agreement, you agree to the restrictive covenants outlined in this section unless expressly prohibited by local law or as follows. Given the extent and nature of the confidential information that you have obtained or will

5


                                        


obtain during the course of your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, it would be inevitable or, at the least, substantially probable that such confidential information would be disclosed or utilized by you should you obtain employment from, or otherwise become associated with, an entity or person that is engaged in a business or enterprise that directly competes with the Company. Even if not inevitable, it would be impossible or impracticable for the Company to monitor your strict compliance with your confidentiality obligations. Consequently, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly:
(i)
during the Covenant Restricted Period (as defined below), own or have any financial interest in a Competitive Business (as defined below), except that nothing in this clause shall prevent you from owning one per cent or less of the outstanding securities of any entity whose securities are traded on a U.S. national securities exchange (including NASDAQ) or an equivalent foreign exchange;
(ii)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, whether or not for compensation, either on your own behalf or as an employee, officer, agent, consultant, director, owner, partner, joint venturer, shareholder, investor, or in any other capacity, be actively connected with a Competitive Business or otherwise advise or assist a Competitive Business with regard to any product, investigational compound, technology, service or line of business that competes with any product, investigational compound, technology, service or line of business with which you worked or about which you became familiar as a result of your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company;

(iii)
for Employees in an executive, management, supervisory or business unit lead role at the time of termination, you will not, during the Covenant Restricted Period, employ, solicit for employment, solicit, induce, encourage, or participate in soliciting, inducing or encouraging any Company employee who is employed by the Company or who was employed by the Company within the twelve months preceding the termination of your employment with the Company for any reason, to terminate or reduce his or her or its relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates, successors or assigns (the “Related Parties”). This restriction includes, but is not limited to, participation by you in any and all parts of the staffing and hiring processes involving a candidate regardless of the means by which the new employer became aware of the candidate;

(iv)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, solicit, induce, encourage, or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, by use of Confidential Information or otherwise, any existing or prospective customer, vendor or supplier of BMS that Employee became aware of or was introduced to in the course of Employee’s duties for BMS, to terminate, cancel or otherwise reduce its relationship with BMS, and;

(v)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, engage in any activity that is harmful to the interests of the Company or its Related Parties, including, without limitation, any conduct during the term of your employment that violates the Company’s Standards of Business Conduct and Ethics, securities trading policy and other policies.

(d)
Rescission, Forfeiture and Other Remedies. If the Company determines that you have violated any applicable provisions of Section 3(c) above during the Covenant Restricted Period, in addition to injunctive relief and damages, you agree and covenant that:
(i)
any unvested portion of the RSUs shall be immediately rescinded;

(ii)
you shall automatically forfeit any rights you may have with respect to the RSUs as of the date of such determination;

(iii)
if any part of the RSUs vests within the twelve-month period immediately preceding a violation of Section 3(c) above (or following the date of any such violation), upon the Company’s demand, you shall immediately deliver to it a certificate or certificates for shares

6


                                        


of Common Stock that you acquired upon settlement of such RSUs (or an equivalent number of other shares); and

(iv)
the foregoing remedies set forth in this Section 3(d) shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedies. The Company reserves all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity.

(e)
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:
(i)
“Competitive Business” means any business that is engaged in or is about to become engaged in the development, production or sale of any product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business concerning the treatment of any disease, which product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business resembles or competes with any product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business that was sold by, or in development at, the Company or a subsidiary of the Company during your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

(ii)
The “Covenant Restricted Period” for purposes of paragraph 3.c. (iii.) and 3 c. (iv.) shall be the period during which Employee is employed by the Company and twelve (12) months after the end of Employee’s term of employment with and/or work for BMS for any reason, (e.g., restriction applies regardless of the reason for termination and includes voluntary and involuntary termination) (hereinafter “Termination Date”). The “Covenant Restricted Period” for purposes of paragraphs 3 c. (i) and 3 c. (ii) shall be the period of employment by the Company, a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. In the event that the Company or a subsidiary of the Company files an action to enforce rights arising out of this Agreement, the Covenant Restricted Period shall be extended for all periods of time in which you are determined by the Court or other authority to have been in violation of the provisions of Section 3(c).
(iii)
The “Company” for purposes of this agreement means Bristol-Myers Squibb, all related companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors, assigns and all organizations acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

(f)
Severability. You acknowledge and agree that the period and scope of restriction imposed upon you by this Section 3 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired and this Agreement shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid provisions were not part of this Agreement. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permissible under law and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision. You acknowledge and agree that your covenants under this Agreement are ancillary to your employment relationship with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, but shall be independent of any other contractual relationship between you and the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. Consequently, the existence of any claim or cause of action that you may have against the Company or a subsidiary of the Company shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, nor an excuse for noncompliance with this Agreement.
(g)
Additional Remedies. You acknowledge and agree that any violation by you of this paragraph will cause irreparable harm to the Company and its Related Parties and the Company cannot be adequately compensated for such violation by damages.  Accordingly, if you violate or threaten to violate this Agreement, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have

7


                                        


in law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled, without the posting of a bond or other security, to obtain an injunction to stop or prevent such violation, including but not limited to obtaining a temporary or preliminary injunction from a Delaware court pursuant to Section 1(a) of the Mutual Arbitration Agreement (if applicable) and Section 14 of this Agreement. You further agree that if the Company incurs legal fees or costs in enforcing this Agreement, you will reimburse the Company for such fees and costs.
(h)
Binding Obligations. These obligations shall be binding both upon you, your assigns, executors, administrators and legal representatives. At the inception of or during the course of your employment, you may have executed agreements that contain similar terms. Those agreements remain in full force and effect. In the event that there is a conflict between the terms of those agreements and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.
(i)
Enforcement. The Company retains discretion regarding whether or not to enforce the terms of the covenants contained in this Section 3 and its decision not to do so in your instance or anyone’s case shall not be considered a waiver of the Company’s right to do so.
(j)
Duty to Notify the Company and Third Parties. During your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and for a period of 12 months after your termination of employment from the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, you shall communicate any post-employment obligations under this Agreement to each subsequent employer. You also authorize the Company to notify third parties, including without limitation, customers and actual or potential employers, of the terms of this Agreement and your obligations hereunder upon your separation from the Company or your separation from employment with any subsequent employer during the Covenant Restricted Period, by providing a copy of this Agreement or otherwise.
4.    RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES

You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, including your employer (“Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax (including federal, state, local and non-U.S. taxes), social security, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you or deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to you even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any. You further acknowledge that the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate 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 RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of RSUs, the conversion of the RSUs into shares of Common Stock or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the lapse of any Post-Vest Holding Period, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and, (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable event or tax withholding, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, by your acceptance of the RSUs, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a)
withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or

(b)
irrespective of any Post-Vest Holding Period, withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or


8


                                        


(c)
irrespective of any Post-Vest Holding Period, withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the RSUs;

provided, however, if you are a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold shares of Common Stock upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (a) and (b) above.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in your jurisdiction(s), in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Section 409A, if shares of Common Stock subject to RSUs will be sold on your behalf (or withheld) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the RSUs, then to the extent that any portion of the RSUs that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, then the number of such shares sold on your behalf (or withheld) shall not exceed the number of shares that equals the liability for Tax-Related Items with respect to such shares.

5.    DIVIDENDS AND ADJUSTMENTS

(a)
Dividends or dividend equivalents are not paid, accrued or accumulated on RSUs during the Restricted Period, except as provided in Section 5(b).
(b)
The number of your RSUs and/or other related terms shall be appropriately adjusted, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights with respect to RSUs, to reflect any changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock resulting from any event referred to in Plan Section 11(c) or any other “equity restructuring” as defined in FASB ASC Topic 718.
6.    EFFECT ON OTHER BENEFITS

In no event shall the value, at any time, of the RSUs or any other payment under this Agreement be included as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other compensation, retirement, or benefit plan offered to employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan. The RSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock (or their cash equivalent), and the income and value of the same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy or end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension or retirement benefits, or similar mandatory payments.

(i)
Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the RSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the RSUs 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 shares of the Company; and

Any determination by the Company in this regard shall be final, binding and conclusive.

For the Company

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company    

    
By_________________________________________________
Senior Vice President, Global Human Resources

I have read this Agreement in its entirety. I understand that this Award has been granted to provide a means for me to acquire and/or expand an ownership position in Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. I acknowledge and agree that sales of shares will be subject to the Company's policies regulating trading by employees. In accepting this Award, I hereby agree that Fidelity, or such other vendor as the Company may choose to administer the Plan, may provide the Company with any and all account information for the administration of this Award.

    I hereby agree to all the terms, restrictions and conditions set forth in the Agreement, including, but not limited to the Post-Vest Holding Period and any post-employment covenants described herein.

Addendum A

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR RSUs IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES

Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement. This Addendum A includes special country-specific terms that apply if you are residing and/or working in one of the countries listed below. This Addendum A is part of the Agreement.
This Addendum A also includes information of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. For example, certain individual exchange control reporting requirements may apply upon vesting of the RSUs and/or sale of Common Stock. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2019 and is provided for informational purposes. Such laws are often complex and change frequently, and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time your RSUs vest or are settled, or you sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.
Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you currently are residing and/or working, transfer employment after the RSUs are granted to you, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein for the country you are residing and/or working in at the time of grant may not be applicable to you, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to you. If you transfer residency and/or employment to another country or are considered a resident of another country listed in this Addendum A after the RSUs are granted to you, the terms and/or information contained for that new country (rather than the original grant country) may be applicable to you.
All Countries
Retirement. The following provision supplements Section 2 of the Agreement:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in your jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment that applies to the RSUs or in the event of your Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the provisions of Section 2 regarding the treatment of the RSUs in the event of your Retirement shall not be applicable to you.
All Non-European Union/Non-European Economic Area Countries
Data Privacy Consent.

By accepting the Award, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in the Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its other subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that the Company, the Employer and other subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, employee ID, social security number, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), tax code, hire date, termination date, termination code, division name, division code, region name, salary grade, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships

14




held in the Company, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

You understand that Data will be transferred to Fidelity Stock Plan Services and certain of its affiliates ("Fidelity"), or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which assist in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient's country (e.g. the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the Company, Fidelity and 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 your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares of Common Stock received upon vesting of the RSUs may be deposited. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view Data, request 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 your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant RSUs or other equity awards to you or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

Upon request of the Company or the Employer, you agree to provide a separate executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company and/or the Employer) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from you for the purpose of administering your participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in your country, either now or in the future.  You understand and agree that you will not be able to participate in the Plan if you fail to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.
Argentina
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that the grant of RSUs is made by the Company (not the Employer) in its sole discretion and that the value of the RSUs or any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan shall not constitute salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, including, but not limited to, the calculation of (i) any labor benefits including, but not limited to, vacation pay, thirteenth salary, compensation in lieu of notice, annual bonus, disability, and leave of absence payments, etc., or (ii) any termination or severance indemnities or similar payments.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any benefits under the Plan are considered salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, you acknowledge and agree that such benefits shall not accrue more frequently than on the vesting date.
Securities Law Information. Neither the RSUs nor the underlying shares of Common Stock are publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in Argentina.
Exchange Control Information. Certain restrictions and requirements may apply if and when you transfer proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or any cash dividends paid with respect to such shares into Argentina.

15




Exchange control regulations in Argentina are subject to change. You should speak with your personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations that you may have prior to vesting in the RSUs or remitting funds into Argentina, as you are responsible for complying with applicable exchange control laws.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Argentinian residents must report any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and held by the resident as of December 31st of each year to the Argentine tax authorities on their annual tax return for that year.

Australia
Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding anything else in the Agreement, you will not be entitled to, and shall not claim, any benefit under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits. Further, the Employer is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders in general meeting for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.
Australian Offer Document. The offer of RSUs is intended to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, ASIC Regulatory Guide 49 and ASIC Class Order CO 14/1000. Additional details are set forth in the Offer Document for the offer of RSUs to Australian resident employees, which will be provided to you with the Agreement.
Tax Information. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to conditions in the Act).
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control reporting is required for inbound cash transactions exceeding A$10,000 and inbound international fund transfers of any value, that do not involve an Australian bank.
Austria
Exchange Control Information. If you hold shares of Common Stock under the Plan outside of Austria (even if you hold them outside of Austria at a branch of an Austrian bank) or cash (including proceeds from the sale of Common Stock), you may be required to submit a report to the Austrian National Bank as follows: (i) on a quarterly basis if the value of the Common Stock as of any given quarter meets or exceeds €30,000,000; and (ii) on an annual basis if the value of the Common Stock as of December 31 meets or exceeds €5,000,000. The deadline to file the quarterly report is the 15th day of the month following the end of the respective quarter. The deadline to file the annual report is January 31 of the following year.
When shares of Common Stock are sold, there may be exchange control obligations if the cash proceeds from the sale are held outside Austria. If the transaction volume of all your cash accounts abroad meets or exceeds €10,000,000, the movements and the balance of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month. If the transaction value of all cash accounts abroad is less than €10,000,000, no ongoing reporting requirements apply.
Belgium
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If you are a Belgian resident, you are required to report any taxable income attributable to the grant of the RSUs on your annual tax return. In addition, if you are a Belgian resident, you are required to report any securities held (including shares of Common Stock) or bank accounts (including brokerage accounts) you maintain outside of Belgium on your annual tax return. In a separate report, you will be required to provide the National Bank of Belgium with certain details regarding such foreign accounts (including the account number, bank name and country in which any such account was opened). The forms to complete this report are available on the website of the National Bank of Belgium.
Stock Exchange Tax Information. A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by a Belgian resident through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, such as a U.S. broker. The stock exchange tax likely will apply when shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan are sold. You should consult with your tax or financial advisor for additional details on your obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.

16




Brokerage Account Tax Information. You may be subject to a brokerage account tax if the average annual value of securities (including shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) held by you in a brokerage account exceeds certain thresholds. As the calculation of this tax is complex, you should consult your personal tax advisor for more details.
Brazil
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that (i) you are making an investment decision and (ii) the value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is not fixed and may increase or decrease in value over the Restricted Period.
Compliance with Laws. By accepting the RSUs, you agree that you will comply with Brazilian law when you vest in the RSUs, lapse in the Post-Vest Holding Period and sell shares of Common Stock. You also agree to report and pay any and all taxes associated with the vesting of the RSUs, lapse in the Post-Vest Holding Period, the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan and the receipt of any dividends.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. You may be required to report your foreign specified property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of your foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time in the year. Foreign specified property includes cash held outside of Canada and shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, and rights to receive shares of Common Stock (e.g., RSUs). Thus, RSUs must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified property. The Form T1135 must be filed by April 30 of the following year. When shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares of Common Stock. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of acquisition, but if you own other shares of Common Stock of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock. You should consult with your personal tax advisor to determine your reporting requirements.
The following provision applies if you are resident in Quebec:

Chile
Securities Law Information. The offer of the RSUs constitutes a private offering in Chile effective as of the Award Date. The offer of RSUs is made subject to general ruling n° 336 of the Commission for the Financial Market (Comisión para el Mercado Financiero, “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 the RSUs are not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide information about the RSUs or shares of Common Stock in Chile. Unless the RSUs and/or the shares of Common Stock are registered with the CMF, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.
Esta oferta de Unidades de Acciones Restringidas (“RSU”) constituye una oferta privada de valores en Chile y se inicia en la Fecha de la Concesión.

Por tratarse los RSU de valores no registrados en Chile, no existe obligación por parte de la Compañía de entregar en Chile información pública respecto de los RSU or 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. You are responsible for complying with foreign exchange requirements in Chile. You should consult with your personal legal advisor regarding any applicable exchange control obligations prior to vesting in the RSUs or receiving proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting or cash dividends.
You are not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the receipt of any dividends. However, if you decide to repatriate such funds, you must do so through the Formal Exchange Market if the amount of funds exceeds US$10,000. In such case, you must report the payment to a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office receiving the funds. If your aggregate investments held outside of Chile exceed US$5,000,000 (including shares of Common Stock and any cash proceeds obtained under the Plan) in the relevant calendar year, you must report the investments quarterly to the Central Bank. Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations must be used to file this report. Please note that exchange control regulations in Chile are subject to change.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“CIRS”) requires all taxpayers to provide information annually regarding: (i) the taxes paid abroad which they will use as a credit against

18




Chilean income taxes, and (ii) the results of foreign investments which must be submitted electronically through the CIRS website at www.sii.cl in accordance with applicable deadlines.

You should consult with your personal legal advisor regarding how to register with the CIRS as you may be ineligible to receive certain foreign tax credits if you fail to meet the applicable reporting requirements. Exchange control and tax reporting requirements in Chile are subject to change, and you should consult with your personal legal and tax advisor regarding any reporting obligations that you may have in connection with the RSUs.
China
The following provisions apply if you are subject to the exchange control regulations in China, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:
Sales of Shares of Common Stock. To comply with exchange control regulations in China, irrespective of any Post-Vest Holding Period, you agree that the Company is authorized to force the sale of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock to be issued to you upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs at any time (including immediately upon vesting, the lapse of the Post-Vest Holding Period or after termination of your employment, as described below), and you expressly authorize the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares of Common Stock. You agree 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 you shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. You acknowledge that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares of Common Stock at any particular price.
Upon the sale of the shares of Common Stock, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale of Common Stock (less any applicable Tax-Related Items, brokerage fees or commissions) to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the restrictions set forth in this Addendum A for China below under “Exchange Control Information.” Due to fluctuations in the Common Stock price and/or applicable exchange rates between the vesting date and (if later) the date on which the shares of Common Stock are sold, the amount of proceeds realized upon sale may be more or less than the market value of the shares of Common Stock on the vesting date (which typically is the amount relevant to determining your Tax-Related Items liability). You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the Common Stock price and/or any applicable exchange rate.
Treatment of Shares of Common Stock and RSUs Upon Termination of Employment. Due to exchange control regulations in China, you understand and agree that, irrespective of any Post-Vest Holding Period, any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and held by you in your brokerage account must be sold no later than the last business day of the month following the month of your termination of employment, or within such other period as determined by the Company or required by the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) (the “Mandatory Sale Date”). This includes any portion of shares of Common Stock that vest upon your termination of employment. For example, if your termination of employment occurs on March 14, 2019, then the Mandatory Sale Date will be April 30, 2019. You understand that any shares of Common Stock held by you that have not been sold by the Mandatory Sale Date will automatically be sold by the Company’s designated broker at the Company’s direction (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), as described under "Sales of Shares of Common Stock" above.
If all or a portion of your RSUs become distributable upon your termination of employment or at some time following your termination of employment, that portion will vest and become distributable immediately upon termination of your employment. Any shares of Common Stock distributed to you according to this paragraph must be sold by the Mandatory Sale Date or will be sold by the Company’s designated broker at the Company’s direction (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), as described under "Sales of Shares of Common Stock" above. You will not continue to vest in RSUs or be entitled to any portion of RSUs after your termination of employment.

Exchange Control Information. You understand and agree that, to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements, you are required to hold any shares of Common Stock to be issued to you upon vesting and settlement

19




of the RSUs in the account that has been established for you with the Company's designated broker and you acknowledge that you are prohibited from transferring any such shares of Common Stock to another brokerage account. In addition, you are required to immediately repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs and any dividends paid on such shares of Common Stock. You further understand that such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its subsidiaries, and you hereby consent and agree that the proceeds may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you. The Company may deliver the proceeds to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, you understand that you will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, there may be delays in delivering the proceeds to you and due to fluctuations in the Common Stock trading price and/or the U.S. dollar/PRC exchange rate between the sale/payment date and (if later) when the proceeds can be converted into local currency, the proceeds that you receive may be more or less than the market value of the Common Stock on the sale/payment date (which is the amount relevant to determining your tax liability). You agree to bear the risk of any currency fluctuation between the sale/payment date and the date of conversion of the proceeds into local currency.
You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. PRC residents are required to report to SAFE details of their foreign financial assets and liabilities, as well as details of any economic transactions conducted with non-PRC residents, either directly or through financial institutions.  Under these rules, you may be subject to reporting obligations for the Common Stock or equity awards, including RSUs, acquired under the Plan and Plan-related transactions. It is your responsibility to comply with this reporting obligation and you should consult your personal advisor in this regard.
Colombia
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. By accepting your Award of RSUs, you expressly acknowledge that, pursuant to Article 15 of Law 50/1990 (Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code), the RSUs and any payments you receive pursuant to the RSUs are wholly discretionary and are a benefit of an extraordinary nature that do not exclusively depend on your performance. Accordingly, the Plan, the RSUs and related benefits do not constitute a component of “salary” for any legal purpose, including for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as fringe benefits, vacation pay, termination or other indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions, or any other outstanding employment-related amounts, subject to the limitations provided in Law 1393/2010.
Exchange Control Information. You are responsible for complying with any and all Colombian foreign exchange restrictions, approvals and reporting requirements in connection with the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock acquired or funds received under the Plan. This may include reporting obligations to the Central Bank (Banco de la República). If applicable, you will be required to register your investment in shares of Common Stock with the Central Bank, regardless of the value of the investment. You should obtain proper legal advice to ensure compliance with applicable Colombian regulations.
Securities Law Information. The shares of Common Stock are not and will not be registered with the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the shares of Common Stock may not be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in this document should be construed as the making of a public offer of securities in Colombia.
Czech Republic
Exchange Control Information. The Czech National Bank may require you to fulfill certain notification duties in relation to the RSUs and the opening and maintenance of a foreign account. However, because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your personal legal advisor prior to the vesting of the RSUs and the sale of shares of Common Stock and before opening any foreign accounts in connection with the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations. It is your responsibility to comply with any applicable Czech exchange control laws.

Further, if you open a brokerage account (or a bank account) with a U.S. bank, the brokerage account (or bank account, as applicable) will be treated as a deposit account if cash can be held in the account. However, you are no longer required to file a Form K (Erklaering K) with the Danish Tax Administration.

You understand that the Company, any subsidiary and/or the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or passport 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 RSUs or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
You understand that Data may be transferred to Fidelity, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which assists in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. In this case, appropriate safeguards will be taken by the Company to ensure that your Data is processed with an adequate level of protection and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulation (especially through contractual clauses like European Model Clauses for European countries). You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the International Compensation and Benefits Group. You authorize the Company, Fidelity and 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 your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares of

26




Common Stock received upon vesting of the RSUs may be deposited. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.
You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you 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 and without cost, by contacting in writing the International Compensation and Benefits Group. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you RSUs or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact the International Compensation and Benefits Group.
Labor Law Information. You acknowledge that if you continue to hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan after an involuntary termination of your employment, you may not be eligible to receive unemployment benefits in Russia.
Anti-Corruption Information. Anti-corruption laws prohibit certain public servants, their spouses and their dependent children from owning any foreign source financial instruments (e.g., shares of foreign companies such as the Company). Accordingly, you should inform the Company if you are covered by these laws because you should not hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
Saudi Arabia
Securities Law Information. This document may not be distributed in the Kingdom except to such persons as are permitted under the Rules on the Offer of Securities and Continuing Obligations issued by the Capital Market Authority.
The Capital Market Authority does not make any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of this document, and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss arising from, or incurred in reliance upon, any part of this document. Prospective purchasers of the securities offered hereby should conduct their own due diligence on the accuracy of the information relating to the securities. If you do not understand the contents of this document you should consult an authorized financial advisor.
Singapore
Restrictions on Sale and Transferability. You hereby agrees that any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the RSUs will not be offered for sale in Singapore prior to the six-month anniversary of the Award Date, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division 1 Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chap. 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”).
Securities Law Information. The grant of RSUs is being made in reliance of section 273(1)(f) of the SFA for which it is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements under the SFA and is not made to you with a view to the RSUs being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Chief Executive Officer and Director Notification Requirement. If you are the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) or a director, associate director or shadow director of a Singapore company, you are subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements, you must notify the Singapore subsidiary in writing within two business days of any of the following events: (i) you receive or dispose of an interest (e.g., RSUs or shares of Common Stock) in the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (ii) any change in a previously-disclosed interest (e.g., forfeiture of RSUs or the sale of shares of Common Stock), or (iii) becoming the CEO or a director, associate director or a shadow director if you hold such an interest at that time.

South Africa
Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 4 of this Agreement:
You are required to immediately notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized at vesting of the RSUs. If you fail to advise the Employer of such gain, you may be liable for a fine.
Exchange Control Information. You are solely responsible for complying with applicable South African exchange control regulations, and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws. In particular, if you are a resident for exchange control purposes, you are required to obtain approval from the South African Reserve Bank for payments (including payment of proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock) that you receive into accounts based outside of South Africa (e.g., a U.S. brokerage account). Because the exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations.
Spain
Labor Law Acknowledgment. This provision supplements Sections 2(g) and 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan document.
You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, except as provided for in Section 2 of the Agreement, your termination of employment for any reason (including for the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the forfeiture of any RSUs that have not vested on the date of your termination.
In particular, you understand and agree that, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, the RSUs will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Common Stock or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination of your employment prior to vesting by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985.
Furthermore, you understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or a subsidiary. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any subsidiary on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, you understand that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs and the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs shall not become a part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that the RSUs would not be granted to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any Award of RSUs shall be null and void.
Securities Law Information. The RSUs and the Common Stock described in the Agreement and this Addendum A do not qualify under Spanish regulations as securities. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Agreement (including this Addendum A) has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
Exchange Control Information. If you acquire shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the RSUs and wish to import the ownership title of such shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, you must declare the importation of such securities to the Spanish Direccion General de Comercio e inversiones (the “DGCI”). Generally, the

28




declaration must be made in January for shares of Common Stock acquired or sold during (or owned as of December 31 of) the prior year; however, if the value of shares acquired or sold exceeds the applicable threshold (currently €1,502,530) (or you hold 10% or more of the share capital of the Company or such other amount that would entitle you to join the Company’s board of directors), the declaration must be filed within one month of the acquisition or sale, as applicable. In addition, you also must file a declaration of ownership of foreign securities with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January.
You are also required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any security accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the security (including shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting of RSUs) held in such accounts and any transactions carried out with non-residents if the value of the transactions for all such accounts during the prior year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior year exceeds €1,000,000. Unvested rights (e.g., RSUs, etc.) are not considered assets or rights for purposes of this requirement.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. To the extent you hold shares of Common Stock and/or have bank accounts outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 (for each type of asset) as of December 31, you will be required to report information on such assets on your tax return for such year. After such shares of Common Stock and/or accounts are initially reported, the reporting obligation will apply for subsequent years only if the value of any previously reported shares of Common Stock or accounts increases by more than €20,000 as of each subsequent December 31 or if you sell shares of Common Stock or cancel bank accounts that were previously reported.
Sweden
There are no country-specific provisions.
Switzerland
Securities Law Information. The RSUs are not intended to be publicly offered in or from Switzerland. Because the offer of RSUs is considered a private offering, it is not subject to registration in Switzerland. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Plan (i) constitutes a prospectus as such term is understood pursuant to article 652a of the Swiss Code of Obligations, and neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Plan (ii) may be publicly distributed nor otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland, or (iii) have been or will be filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss regulatory authority, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
Taiwan
Securities Law Information. The grant of RSUs and any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to these RSUs are available only for employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The offer of participation in the Plan is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company.
Exchange Control Information. You may remit foreign currency (including proceeds from the sale of Common Stock) into or out of Taiwan up to US$5,000,000 per year without special permission. If the transaction amount is TWD500,000 or more in a single transaction, you must submit a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to the remitting bank and provide supporting documentation to the satisfaction of the remitting bank.
Thailand
Exchange Control Information. If the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the receipt of dividends are equal to or greater than US$50,000 or more in a single transaction, you must repatriate the proceeds to Thailand immediately upon receipt and convert the funds to Thai Baht or deposit the proceeds in a foreign currency deposit account maintained by a bank in Thailand within 360 days of remitting the proceeds to Thailand. In addition you must report the inward remittance to the Bank of Thailand on a foreign exchange transaction form. If you fail to comply with these obligations, you may be subject to penalties assessed by the Bank of Thailand. Because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your personal advisor before selling shares of Common Stock to ensure compliance with current regulations. You are responsible for ensuring

29




compliance with all exchange control laws in Thailand, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws.
Turkey
Securities Law Information. Under Turkish law, you are not permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan in Turkey. The shares of Common Stock are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which is located outside of Turkey, under the ticker symbol “BMY” and the shares of Common Stock may be sold through this exchange.
Exchange Control Information. In certain circumstances, Turkish residents are permitted to sell shares traded on a non-Turkish stock exchange only through a financial intermediary licensed in Turkey and should be reported to the Turkish Capital Markets Board. Therefore, you may be required to appoint a Turkish broker to assist with the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. You should consult your personal legal advisor before selling any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan to confirm the applicability of this requirement.
United Arab Emirates
Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and RSUs. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:

You acknowledge that the RSUs and related benefits do not constitute a component of your “wages” for any legal purpose. Therefore, the RSUs and related benefits will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as social insurance contributions and/or any other labor-related amounts which may be payable.
Securities Law Information. The Plan is only being offered to qualified employees and is in the nature of providing equity incentives to employees of the Company or its subsidiary or affiliate in the UAE. Any documents related to the Plan, including the Plan, Plan prospectus and other grant documents (“Plan Documents”), are intended for distribution only to such employees and must not be delivered to, or relied on by, any other person. Prospective purchasers of the securities offered should conduct their own due diligence on the securities. If you do not understand the contents of the Plan Documents, you should consult an authorized financial adviser.

The Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority has no responsibility for reviewing or verifying any Plan Documents nor taken steps to verify the information set out in them, and thus, are not responsible for such documents.
The securities to which this summary relates may be illiquid and/or subject to restrictions on their resale. Prospective purchasers of the securities offered should conduct their own due diligence on the securities.
United Kingdom
Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 4 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 4 of the Agreement, you hereby agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You also hereby agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on your behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an executive officer or director of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), you understand that you may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of Tax-Related Items not collected from or paid by you because the indemnification could be considered to be a loan. In this case, any income tax not collected or paid within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and employee national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. You understand that you will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due

30




on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) for the value of employee NICs due on this additional benefit which the Company and/or the Employer may recover from you by any of the means set forth in Section 4 of the Agreement.
Section 431 Election. As a condition of participation in the Plan and the vesting of the RSUs, you agree to enter into, jointly with the Employer, the joint election within Section 431 of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (“ITEPA 2003”) in respect of computing any tax charge on the acquisition of “restricted securities” (as defined in Sections 423 and 424 of ITEPA 2003), and that you will not revoke such election at any time. This election will be to treat the shares of Common Stock as if they were not restricted securities (for U.K. tax purposes only). You must enter into the form of election, attached to this Addendum A, concurrent with accepting the Agreement, or at such subsequent time as may be designated by the Company.

Section 431 Election for U.K. Participants

Joint Election under s431 ITEPA 2003 for full or partial disapplication of Chapter 2 Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003
One Part Election
1.
Between
the Employee                         [insert name of employee]             
whose National Insurance Number is             [insert employee Nat. Ins. Number]        
and
the Company (who is the Employee’s employer):         [insert employer name]
of Company Registration Number                 [insert Company Registration Number]

2.
Purpose of Election
This joint election is made pursuant to section 431(1) or 431(2) Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA) and applies where employment-related securities, which are restricted securities by reason of section 423 ITEPA, are acquired.

The effect of an election under section 431(1) is that, for the relevant Income Tax and NIC purposes, the employment-related securities and their market value will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 ITEPA do not apply. An election under section 431(2) will ignore one or more of the restrictions in computing the charge on acquisition. Additional Income Tax will be payable (with PAYE and NIC where the securities are Readily Convertible Assets).

Should the value of the securities fall following the acquisition, it is possible that Income Tax/NIC that would have arisen because of any future chargeable event (in the absence of an election) would have been less than the Income Tax/NIC due by reason of this election. Should this be the case, there is no Income Tax/NIC relief available under Part 7 of ITEPA 2003; nor is it available if the securities acquired are subsequently transferred, forfeited or revert to the original owner.

3.
Application
This joint election is made not later than 14 days after the date of acquisition of the securities by the employee and applies to:

Number of securities:        All securities to be acquired by Employee pursuant to the RSUs granted
on              under the terms of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company 2012 Stock Award and Incentive Plan.

Description of securities:         Shares of common stock
Name of issuer of securities:     Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
to be acquired by the Employee after              under the terms of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company 2012 Stock Award and Incentive Plan.

Venezuela
Investment Representation for RSUs. As a condition of the grant of the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that any shares of Common Stock you may acquire upon vesting of the RSUs and lapse of the Post-Vest Holding Period are acquired as, and intended to be, an investment rather than for the resale of the shares of Common Stock and conversion of the shares of Common Stock into foreign currency.
Securities Law Information. The RSUs granted under the Plan and the shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan are offered as a personal, private, exclusive transaction and are not subject to Venezuelan securities regulations. This offering does not qualify as a public offering under the laws of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and, therefore, it is not required to request the previous authorization of the National Superintendent of Securities.
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control restrictions may limit the ability to vest in the RSUs or remit funds into Venezuela following the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs. The Company reserves the right to restrict settlement of the RSUs or to amend or cancel the RSUs at any time in order to comply with applicable exchange control laws in Venezuela. Any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan are intended to be an investment rather than for the resale and conversion of the shares into foreign currency. You are responsible for complying with exchange control laws in Venezuela and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws. Because exchange control laws and regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult with your personal legal advisor before accepting the RSUs and before selling any shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs to ensure compliance with current regulations.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT
UNDER THE BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
2012 STOCK AWARD AND INCENTIVE PLAN

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to you the Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) specified in the Grant Summary located on the Stock Plan Administrator’s website, which is incorporated into this Restricted Stock Units Agreement (the “Agreement”) and deemed to be a part hereof. The RSUs have been granted to you under Section 6(e) of the 2012 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), on the terms and conditions specified in the Grant Summary and this Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

1.    RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AWARD

The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the “Committee”) has granted to you as of the Award Date an Award of RSUs as designated herein subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Each RSU shall represent the conditional right to receive, upon settlement of the RSU, one share of Bristol-Myers Squibb Common Stock (“Common Stock”) or, at the discretion of the Company, the cash equivalent thereof (subject to any tax withholding as described in Section 4). The purpose of such Award is to motivate and retain you as an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, to encourage you to continue to give your best efforts for the Company’s future success, and to increase your proprietary interest in the Company. Except as may be required by law, you are not required to make any payment (other than payments for taxes pursuant to Section 4 hereof) or provide any consideration other than the rendering of future services to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

2.    RESTRICTIONS, FORFEITURES, AND SETTLEMENT

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, each RSU shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein during the period from the Award Date until the date such RSU has become vested and non-forfeitable such that there are no longer any RSUs that may become potentially vested and non-forfeitable (the “Restricted Period”). Vesting of the RSUs is conditioned upon you remaining continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company from the Award Date until the relevant vesting date, subject to the provisions of this Section 2. Assuming satisfaction of such employment conditions, 100% of the RSUs shall vest on the second anniversary of the Award Date (the “Vesting Date”), provided, that, all shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs (net of any shares withheld or sold for taxes) in accordance with Section 2(b) shall be subject to an additional one year post-vest holding period (the “Post-Vest Holding Period”), and during such Post-Vest Holding Period, you may not Transfer (as defined below) any of the shares of Common Stock issued to you pursuant to the vested RSUs.

(a)
Nontransferability. (i) During the Restricted Period and any further period prior to settlement of your RSUs, you may not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any of the RSUs or your rights relating thereto, and (ii) during the Post-Vest Holding Period, you may not Transfer any rights relating to the vested RSUs, including the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any vested RSUs. If you attempt to Transfer your rights under this Agreement in violation of the provisions herein, the Company’s obligation to settle RSUs or otherwise make payments shall terminate.

(b)
Time of Settlement. RSUs shall be settled promptly upon expiration of the Restricted Period without forfeiture of the RSUs (i.e., upon vesting), but in any event within 60 days after expiration of the Restricted Period, by delivery of one share of Common Stock for each RSU being settled, or, at the discretion of the Company, the cash equivalent thereof; provided, however, that settlement of an

1    


                                        


RSU shall be subject to Plan Section 11(k), including if applicable the six-month delay rule in Plan Sections 11(k)(i)(C)(2) and 11(k)(i)(G) and the Post-Vest Holding Period; provided further, that no dividend or dividend equivalents will be paid, accrued or accumulated in respect of the period during which settlement was delayed. (Note: This rule may apply to any portion of the RSUs that vest after the time you become Retirement eligible under the Plan, and could apply in other cases as well). Settlement of RSUs which directly or indirectly result from adjustments to RSUs shall occur at the time of settlement of, and subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to, the granted RSUs, including the Post-Vest Holding Period. Settlement of cash amounts which directly or indirectly result from adjustments to RSUs shall be included as part of your regular payroll payment as soon as administratively practicable after the settlement date for the underlying RSUs, and subject to the restrictions and conditions that apply to, the granted RSUs, including the Post-Vest Holding Period. Until shares are delivered to you in settlement of RSUs, you shall have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares issuable in settlement of the RSUs, including the right to vote the shares and receive actual dividends and other distributions on the underlying shares of Common Stock. Shares of stock issuable in settlement of RSUs shall be delivered to you upon settlement in certificated form or in such other manner as the Company may reasonably determine. At that time, you will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, subject to any restrictions and conditions that apply to the shares of Common Stock issuable in settlement of the RSUs, including the Post-Vest Holding Period.

(c)
Retirement and Death.

(i)    In the event of your Retirement (as that term is defined in the Plan; however, if such Retirement is voluntary, you shall forfeit all unvested RSUs on the date of termination) prior to the end of the Restricted Period, you, shall be deemed vested and entitled to settlement of (i.e., the Restricted Period shall expire with respect to) a proportionate number of the total number of RSUs granted, provided that your employment has not been terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for misconduct or other conduct deemed detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. If you are only eligible for Retirement pursuant to Plan Section 2(x)(iii), and you are employed in the United States or Puerto Rico at the time of your Retirement, you shall be entitled to the pro rata vesting described in this Section 2(c) only if you execute and do not revoke a release in favor of the Company and its predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors and employees in a form satisfactory to the Company; if you fail to execute or revoke the release, or your release fails to become effective and irrevocable within 60 days of the date your employment terminates, you shall forfeit any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment terminates.

(ii)    In the event of your death while employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company prior to the end of the Restricted Period, your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, shall be deemed vested and entitled to settlement of (i.e., the Restricted Period shall expire with respect to) a proportionate number of the total number of RSUs granted -.

(iii)    The formula for determining the proportionate number of your RSUs to become vested and non-forfeitable upon your Retirement or death is available by request from the Office of the Corporate Secretary at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154. RSUs that become vested and nonforfeitable under this Section 2(c) shall be distributed in accordance with Section 2(b) (i.e., within 60 days of the date of your death or Retirement). In the event of your becoming vested hereunder on account of death, or in the event of your death subsequent to your Retirement hereunder and prior to the delivery of shares in settlement of RSUs (not previously forfeited), shares in settlement of your RSUs shall be delivered to your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, upon presentation to the Committee of letters testamentary or other documentation satisfactory to the Committee, and your estate or legal heirs, as applicable, shall succeed to any other rights provided hereunder in the event of your death. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 2(c) to the contrary, except in the case of your death, all shares issued in settlement of any vested RSUs pursuant to this Section shall continue to be subject to the Post-Vest Holding Period.

(d)
Termination not for Misconduct/Detrimental Conduct. In the event your employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for reasons other than misconduct or other conduct deemed detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, and you are not eligible for Retirement, you shall be entitled to settlement of (i.e., the Restricted Period shall expire with respect to) a proportionate number of the total number of RSUs granted, provided that all shares issued in settlement of any vested RSUs pursuant to this Section shall continue to be subject to the Post-Vest Holding Period. If you are not eligible for Retirement, and you are employed in the United States or Puerto Rico at the time of your termination, you shall be entitled to the pro rata vesting described in this Section 2(d) only if you execute and do not revoke a release in favor of the Company and its predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors and employees in a form satisfactory to the Company; if you fail to execute or revoke the release, or your release fails to become effective and irrevocable within 60 days of the date your employment terminates, you shall forfeit any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment terminates. The formula for determining the proportionate number of RSUs you are entitled to under this Section 2(d) is available by request from the Office of the Corporate Secretary at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154.

(e)
Disability. In the event you become Disabled (as that term is defined below), for the period during which you continue to be deemed to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (i.e., the period during which you receive Disability benefits), you will not be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of the RSUs. However, no period of continued Disability shall continue beyond 29 months for purposes of the RSUs, at which time you will have considered to have separated from service in accordance with applicable laws as more fully provided for herein. Upon the termination of your receipt of Disability benefits, (i) you will not be deemed to have terminated employment if you return to employment status, and (ii) if you do not return to employment status or are considered to have separated from service as noted above, you will be deemed to have terminated employment at the date of cessation of payments to you under all disability pay plans of the Company and its subsidiaries (unless you are on an approved leave of absence per Section (i) herein), with such termination treated for purposes of the RSUs as a Retirement or death (as detailed in Section 2(c) herein), or voluntary termination (as detailed in Section 2(g) herein) based on your circumstances at the time of such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” or “Disabled” shall mean qualifying for and receiving payments under a disability plan of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate either in the United States or in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, and in jurisdictions outside of the United States shall also include qualifying for and receiving payments under a mandatory or universal disability plan or program managed or maintained by the government.

(f)
Qualifying Termination Following Change in Control. In the event your employment is terminated by reason of a Qualifying Termination during the Protected Period following a Change in Control, the Restricted Period and all remaining restrictions shall expire and the RSUs shall be deemed fully vested.

(g)
Other Termination of Employment. In the event of your voluntary termination, including a voluntary retirement (subject to Section 2(c)), or termination by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for misconduct or other conduct deemed by the Company to be detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, you shall forfeit all unvested RSUs on the date of termination.

(h)
Other Terms.

(i)
In the event that you fail promptly to pay or make satisfactory arrangements as to the Tax-Related Items as provided in Section 4, all RSUs subject to restriction shall be forfeited by you and shall be deemed to be reacquired by the Company.

(ii)
You may, at any time prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, waive all rights with respect to all or some of the RSUs by delivering to the Company a written notice of such waiver.

(iii)
Termination of employment includes any event if immediately thereafter you are no longer an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, subject to Section 2(i) hereof. References in this Section 2 to employment by the Company include employment by a subsidiary of the Company. Termination of employment means an event after which you are no longer employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Such an event could include the disposition of a subsidiary or business unit by the Company or a subsidiary.

(iv)
Upon any termination of your employment, any RSUs as to which the Restricted Period has not expired at or before such termination shall be forfeited, subject to Sections 2(c)-(f) hereof. Other provisions of this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event will an RSU that has been forfeited thereafter vest or be settled.

(v)
In the event of termination of your employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, your right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively providing services and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active services would not include any contractual notice period or any period of "garden leave" or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any); the Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of your RSUs (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

(vi)
You agree that the Company may recover any incentive-based compensation received by you under this Agreement if such recovery is pursuant to a clawback or recoupment policy approved by the Committee, even if approved subsequent to the date of this Agreement.
(i)
The following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment:

(i)
A transfer of you from the Company to a subsidiary of the Company, or vice versa, or from one subsidiary of the Company to another; and

(ii)
A leave of absence from which you return to active service for any purpose approved by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company in writing.
 
Any failure to return to active service with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company at the end of an approved leave of absence as described herein shall be deemed a voluntary termination of employment effective on the date the approved leave of absence ends, subject to applicable law and any RSUs that are unvested as of the date your employment terminates shall be forfeited subject to Section 2(c) provided, that, all shares issued in settlement of any previously vested RSUs shall continue to be subject to the Post-Vest Holding Period. During a leave of absence as provided for in (ii) above, although you will be considered to have been continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and not to have had a termination of employment under this Section 2, the Committee may specify that such leave of absence period approved for your personal reasons (and provided for by any applicable law) shall not be counted in determining the period of employment for purposes of the vesting of the RSUs. In such case, the Vesting Date for unvested RSUs shall be extended by the length of any such leave of absence.

(j)
As more fully provided for in the Plan, notwithstanding any provision herein, in any Award or in the Plan to the contrary, the terms of any Award shall be limited to those terms permitted under Code Section 409A including all applicable regulations and administrative guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”), and any terms not permitted under Section 409A shall be automatically modified and limited to the extent necessary to conform with Section 409A, but only to the extent such modification or limitation is permitted under Section 409A.

3.
NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT AND COMPANY RIGHT TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, DAMAGES, RESCISSION, FORFEITURE AND OTHER REMEDIES
You acknowledge that the grant of RSUs pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient consideration for this Agreement, including, without limitation, all applicable restrictions imposed on you by this Section 3. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-competition provisions of Section 3(c)(i)-(ii) below shall only be applicable during your employment by the Company, a subsidiary or an affiliate of the Company.
(a)
Confidentiality Obligations and Agreement. By accepting this Agreement, you agree and/or reaffirm the terms of all agreements related to treatment of Confidential Information that you signed at the inception of or during your employment, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. This includes, but is not limited to, use or disclosure of any BMS Confidential Information, Proprietary Information, or Trade Secrets to third parties. Confidential Information, Proprietary Information, and Trade secrets include, but are not limited to, any information gained in the course of your employment with the Company that is marked as confidential or could reasonably be expected to harm the Company if disclosed to third parties, including without limitation, any information that could reasonably be expected to aid a competitor or potential competitor in making inferences regarding the nature of the Company’s business activities, where such inferences could reasonably be expected to allow such competitor to compete more effectively with the Company. You agree that you will not remove or disclose Company Confidential Information, Proprietary Information or Trade Secrets. Unauthorized removal includes forwarding or downloading confidential information to personal email or other electronic media and/or copying the information to personal unencrypted thumb drives, cloud storage or drop box. Immediately upon termination of your employment for any reason, you will return to the Company all of the Company’s confidential and other business materials that you have or that are in your possession or control and all copies thereof, including all tangible embodiments thereof, whether in hard copy or electronic format and you shall not retain any versions thereof on any personal computer or any other media (e.g., flash drives, thumb drives, external hard drives and the like). In addition, you will thoroughly search personal electronic devices, drives, cloud-based storage, email, cell phones, and social media to ensure that all Company information has been deleted. In the event that you comingle personal and Company confidential information on these devices or storage media, you hereby consent to the removal and permanent deletion of all information on these devices and media. Nothing in this paragraph or Agreement limits or prohibits your right to report potential violations of law, rules, or regulations to, or communicate with, cooperate with, testify before, or otherwise assist in an investigation or proceeding by, any government agency or entity, or engage in any other conduct that is required or protected by law or regulation, and you are not required to obtain the prior authorization of the Company to do so and are not required to notify the Company that you have done so. 
(b)
Inventions. To the extent permitted by local law, you agree and/or reaffirm the terms of all agreements related to inventions that you signed at the inception of or during your employment, and agree to promptly disclose and assign to the Company all of your interest in any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements and business or marketing concepts related to the current or contemplated business or activities of the Company, and which are conceived or made by you, either alone or in conjunction with others, at any time or place during the period you are employed by the Company. Upon request of the Company, including after your termination, you agree to execute, at the Company’s expense, any and all applications, assignments, or other documents which the Company shall determine necessary to apply for and obtain letters patent to protect the Company’s interest in such inventions, discoveries, and improvements and to cooperate in good faith in any legal proceedings to protect the Company’s intellectual property.
(c)
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Related Covenants. By accepting this Agreement, you agree to the restrictive covenants outlined in this section unless expressly prohibited by local law or as follows. Given the extent and nature of the confidential information that you have obtained or will obtain during the course of your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, it would be inevitable or, at the least, substantially probable that such confidential information would be disclosed or utilized by you should you obtain employment from, or otherwise become associated

5


                                        


with, an entity or person that is engaged in a business or enterprise that directly competes with the Company. Even if not inevitable, it would be impossible or impracticable for the Company to monitor your strict compliance with your confidentiality obligations. Consequently, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly:
(i)    during the Covenant Restricted Period (as defined below), own or have any financial interest in a Competitive Business (as defined below), except that nothing in this clause shall prevent you from owning one per cent or less of the outstanding securities of any entity whose securities are traded on a U.S. national securities exchange (including NASDAQ) or an equivalent foreign exchange;

(ii)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, whether or not for compensation, either on your own behalf or as an employee, officer, agent, consultant, director, owner, partner, joint venturer, shareholder, investor, or in any other capacity, be actively connected with a Competitive Business or otherwise advise or assist a Competitive Business with regard to any product, investigational compound, technology, service or line of business that competes with any product, investigational compound, technology, service or line of business with which you worked or about which you became familiar as a result of your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company;

(iii)
for Employees in an executive, management, supervisory or business unit lead role at the time of termination, you will not, during the Covenant Restricted Period, employ, solicit for employment, solicit, induce, encourage, or participate in soliciting, inducing or encouraging any Company employee who is employed by the Company or who was employed by the Company within the twelve months preceding the termination of your employment with the Company for any reason, to terminate or reduce his or her or its relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates, successors or assigns (the “Related Parties”). This restriction includes, but is not limited to, participation by you in any and all parts of the staffing and hiring processes involving a candidate regardless of the means by which the new employer became aware of the candidate;

(iv)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, solicit, induce, encourage, or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, by use of Confidential Information or otherwise, any existing or prospective customer, vendor or supplier of BMS that Employee became aware of or was introduced to in the course of Employee’s duties for BMS, to terminate, cancel or otherwise reduce its relationship with BMS, and;

(v)
during the Covenant Restricted Period, engage in any activity that is harmful to the interests of the Company or its Related Parties, including, without limitation, any conduct during the term of your employment that violates the Company’s Standards of Business Conduct and Ethics, securities trading policy and other policies.

(d)
Rescission, Forfeiture and Other Remedies. If the Company determines that you have violated any applicable provisions of Section 3(c) above during the Covenant Restricted Period, in addition to injunctive relief and damages, you agree and covenant that:
(i)
any unvested portion of the RSUs shall be immediately rescinded;

(ii)
you shall automatically forfeit any rights you may have with respect to the RSUs as of the date of such determination;

(iii)
if any part of the RSUs vests within the twelve-month period immediately preceding a violation of Section 3(c) above (or following the date of any such violation), upon the Company’s demand, you shall immediately deliver to it a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock that you acquired upon settlement of such RSUs (or an equivalent number of other shares); and


6


                                        


(iv)
the foregoing remedies set forth in this Section 3(d) shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedies. The Company reserves all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity.

(e)
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:
(i)
“Competitive Business” means any business that is engaged in or is about to become engaged in the development, production or sale of any product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business concerning the treatment of any disease, which product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business resembles or competes with any product, investigational compound, technology, process, service or line of business that was sold by, or in development at, the Company or a subsidiary of the Company during your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

(ii)
The “Covenant Restricted Period” for purposes of paragraph 3.c. (iii.) and 3 c. (iv.) shall be the period during which Employee is employed by the Company and twelve (12) months after the end of Employee’s term of employment with and/or work for BMS for any reason, (e.g., restriction applies regardless of the reason for termination and includes voluntary and involuntary termination) (hereinafter “Termination Date”). The “Covenant Restricted Period” for purposes of paragraphs 3 c. (i) and 3 c. (ii) shall be the period of employment by the Company, a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. In the event that the Company or a subsidiary of the Company files an action to enforce rights arising out of this Agreement, the Covenant Restricted Period shall be extended for all periods of time in which you are determined by the Court or other authority to have been in violation of the provisions of Section 3(c).
(iii)
The “Company” for purposes of this agreement means Bristol-Myers Squibb, all related companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors, assigns and all organizations acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

(f)
Severability. You acknowledge and agree that the period and scope of restriction imposed upon you by this Section 3 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired and this Agreement shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid provisions were not part of this Agreement. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permissible under law and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision. You acknowledge and agree that your covenants under this Agreement are ancillary to your employment relationship with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, but shall be independent of any other contractual relationship between you and the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. Consequently, the existence of any claim or cause of action that you may have against the Company or a subsidiary of the Company shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, nor an excuse for noncompliance with this Agreement.
(g)
Additional Remedies. You acknowledge and agree that any violation by you of this paragraph will cause irreparable harm to the Company and its Related Parties and the Company cannot be adequately compensated for such violation by damages.  Accordingly, if you violate or threaten to violate this Agreement, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have in law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled, without the posting of a bond or other security, to obtain an injunction to stop or prevent such violation, including but not limited to obtaining a

7


                                        


temporary or preliminary injunction from a Delaware court pursuant to Section 1(a) of the Mutual Arbitration Agreement (if applicable) and Section 14 of this Agreement. You further agree that if the Company incurs legal fees or costs in enforcing this Agreement, you will reimburse the Company for such fees and costs.
(h)
Binding Obligations. These obligations shall be binding both upon you, your assigns, executors, administrators and legal representatives. At the inception of or during the course of your employment, you may have executed agreements that contain similar terms. Those agreements remain in full force and effect. In the event that there is a conflict between the terms of those agreements and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.
(i)
Enforcement. The Company retains discretion regarding whether or not to enforce the terms of the covenants contained in this Section 3 and its decision not to do so in your instance or anyone’s case shall not be considered a waiver of the Company’s right to do so.
(j)
Duty to Notify the Company and Third Parties. During your employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and for a period of 12 months after your termination of employment from the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, you shall communicate any post-employment obligations under this Agreement to each subsequent employer. You also authorize the Company to notify third parties, including without limitation, customers and actual or potential employers, of the terms of this Agreement and your obligations hereunder upon your separation from the Company or your separation from employment with any subsequent employer during the Covenant Restricted Period, by providing a copy of this Agreement or otherwise.
4.    RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAXES

You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, including your employer (“Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax (including federal, state, local and non-U.S. taxes), social security, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you or deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to you even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any. You further acknowledge that the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate 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 RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of RSUs, the conversion of the RSUs into shares of Common Stock or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the lapse of any Post-Vest Holding Period, the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired at settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and, (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable event or tax withholding, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, by your acceptance of the RSUs, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a)
withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or

(b)
irrespective of any Post-Vest Holding Period, withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or


8


                                        


(c)
irrespective of any Post-Vest Holding Period, withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the RSUs;

provided, however, if you are a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company will withhold shares of Common Stock upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (a) and (b) above.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in your jurisdiction(s), in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Section 409A, if shares of Common Stock subject to RSUs will be sold on your behalf (or withheld) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the RSUs, then to the extent that any portion of the RSUs that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, then the number of such shares sold on your behalf (or withheld) shall not exceed the number of shares that equals the liability for Tax-Related Items with respect to such shares.

5.    DIVIDENDS AND ADJUSTMENTS

(a)
Dividends or dividend equivalents are not paid, accrued or accumulated on RSUs during the Restricted Period, except as provided in Section 5(b).
(b)
The number of your RSUs and/or other related terms shall be appropriately adjusted, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights with respect to RSUs, to reflect any changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock resulting from any event referred to in Plan Section 11(c) or any other “equity restructuring” as defined in FASB ASC Topic 718.
6.    EFFECT ON OTHER BENEFITS

In no event shall the value, at any time, of the RSUs or any other payment under this Agreement be included as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other compensation, retirement, or benefit plan offered to employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan. The RSUs and the underlying shares of Common Stock (or their cash equivalent), and the income and value of the same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy or end-of-service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension or retirement benefits, or similar mandatory payments.

7.    ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF NATURE OF PLAN AND RSUs

(i)
Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the RSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the RSUs 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 shares of the Company; and
(j)
The following provisions apply only if you are providing services outside the United States: (i) the Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the RSUs, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and (ii) neither the Company, the Employer nor any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement.
8.    NO ADVICE REGARDING GRANT

The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan or your acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. You should consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

Any provision for distribution in settlement of your RSUs and other obligations hereunder shall be by means of bookkeeping entries on the books of the Company and shall not create in you or any beneficiary any right to, or claim against any, specific assets of the Company, nor result in the creation of any trust or escrow account for you or any beneficiary.

14.    GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND VENUE

17.    INSIDER TRADING/MARKET ABUSE LAWS

You acknowledge that, depending on your country or broker’s country, or the country in which Common Stock is listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock, rights to shares of Common Stock (e.g., RSUs) or rights linked to the value of Common Stock, during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and your country). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before possessing inside information. Furthermore, you may be prohibited from (i) disclosing insider information to any third party, including fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise buy or sell securities.

Notwithstanding any other provisions 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, you understand that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs, if the issuance of such Common Stock shall constitute a violation by you or the Company of any provision of law or regulation of any governmental authority. Further, you agree that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without your consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of shares. Any determination by the Company in this regard shall be final, binding and conclusive.

21.    ADDENDUM A
    
Your RSUs shall be subject to any special provisions set forth in Addendum A to this Agreement for your country, if any.

You may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in your country.

For the Company

Bristol-Myers Squibb Company    

    
By_________________________________________________
Senior Vice President, Global Human Resources

I have read this Agreement in its entirety. I understand that this Award has been granted to provide a means for me to acquire and/or expand an ownership position in Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. I acknowledge and agree that sales of shares will be subject to the Company's policies regulating trading by employees. In accepting this Award, I hereby agree that Fidelity, or such other vendor as the Company may choose to administer the Plan, may provide the Company with any and all account information for the administration of this Award.

    I hereby agree to all the terms, restrictions and conditions set forth in the Agreement, including, but not limited to the Post-Vest Holding Period and any post-employment covenants described herein.

Addendum A

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR RSUs IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES

Unless otherwise provided below, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and the Agreement. This Addendum includes special country-specific terms that apply if you are residing and/or working in one of the countries listed below. This Addendum A is part of the Agreement.
This Addendum A also includes information of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan. For example, certain individual exchange control reporting requirements may apply upon vesting of the RSUs and/or sale of Common Stock. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2019 and is provided for informational purposes. Such laws are often complex and change frequently, and results may be different based on the particular facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time your RSUs vest or are settled, or you sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure you of any particular result. Accordingly, you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.
Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you currently are residing and/or working, transfer employment after the RSUs are granted to you, or are considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein for the country you are residing and/or working in at the time of grant may not be applicable to you, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to you. If you transfer residency and/or employment to another country or are considered a resident of another country listed in this Addendum A after the RSUs are granted to you, the terms and/or information contained for that new country (rather than the original grant country) may be applicable to you.
All Countries
Retirement. The following provision supplements Section 2 of the Agreement:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in your jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment that applies to the RSUs or in the event of your Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the provisions of Section 2 regarding the treatment of the RSUs in the event of your Retirement shall not be applicable to you.
All Non-European Union/Non-European Economic Area Countries
Data Privacy Consent.

By accepting the Award, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in the Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its other subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that the Company, the Employer and other subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, employee ID, social security number, passport or other identification number (e.g., resident registration number), tax code, hire date, termination date, termination code, division name, division code, region name, salary grade, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.


14




You understand that Data will be transferred to Fidelity Stock Plan Services and certain of its affiliates ("Fidelity"), or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which assist in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient's country (e.g. the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the Company, Fidelity and 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 your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares of Common Stock received upon vesting of the RSUs may be deposited. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may, at any time, view Data, request 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 your local human resources representative. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant RSUs or other equity awards to you or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

Upon request of the Company or the Employer, you agree to provide a separate executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Company and/or the Employer) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from you for the purpose of administering your participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in your country, either now or in the future.  You understand and agree that you will not be able to participate in the Plan if you fail to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.
Argentina
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that the grant of RSUs is made by the Company (not the Employer) in its sole discretion and that the value of the RSUs or any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan shall not constitute salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, including, but not limited to, the calculation of (i) any labor benefits including, but not limited to, vacation pay, thirteenth salary, compensation in lieu of notice, annual bonus, disability, and leave of absence payments, etc., or (ii) any termination or severance indemnities or similar payments.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any benefits under the Plan are considered salary or wages for any purpose under Argentine labor law, you acknowledge and agree that such benefits shall not accrue more frequently than on the vesting date.
Securities Law Information. Neither the RSUs nor the underlying shares of Common Stock are publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in Argentina.
Exchange Control Information. Certain restrictions and requirements may apply if and when you transfer proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or any cash dividends paid with respect to such shares into Argentina.
Exchange control regulations in Argentina are subject to change. You should speak with your personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations that you may have prior to vesting in the RSUs or remitting funds into Argentina, as you are responsible for complying with applicable exchange control laws.

15




Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Argentinian residents must report any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and held by the resident as of December 31st of each year to the Argentine tax authorities on their annual tax return for that year.

Australia
Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding anything else in the Agreement, you will not be entitled to, and shall not claim, any benefit under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits. Further, the Employer is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders in general meeting for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.
Australian Offer Document. The offer of RSUs is intended to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, ASIC Regulatory Guide 49 and ASIC Class Order CO 14/1000. Additional details are set forth in the Offer Document for the offer of RSUs to Australian resident employees, which will be provided to you with the Agreement.
Tax Information. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to conditions in the Act).
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control reporting is required for inbound cash transactions exceeding A$10,000 and inbound international fund transfers of any value, that do not involve an Australian bank.
Austria
Exchange Control Information. If you hold shares of Common Stock under the Plan outside of Austria (even if you hold them outside of Austria at a branch of an Austrian bank) or cash (including proceeds from the sale of Common Stock), you may be required to submit a report to the Austrian National Bank as follows: (i) on a quarterly basis if the value of the Common Stock as of any given quarter meets or exceeds €30,000,000; and (ii) on an annual basis if the value of the Common Stock as of December 31 meets or exceeds €5,000,000. The deadline to file the quarterly report is the 15th day of the month following the end of the respective quarter. The deadline to file the annual report is January 31 of the following year.
When shares of Common Stock are sold, there may be exchange control obligations if the cash proceeds from the sale are held outside Austria. If the transaction volume of all your cash accounts abroad meets or exceeds €10,000,000, the movements and the balance of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month. If the transaction value of all cash accounts abroad is less than €10,000,000, no ongoing reporting requirements apply.
Belgium
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If you are a Belgian resident, you are required to report any taxable income attributable to the grant of the RSUs on your annual tax return. In addition, if you are a Belgian resident, you are required to report any securities held (including shares of Common Stock) or bank accounts (including brokerage accounts) you maintain outside of Belgium on your annual tax return. In a separate report, you will be required to provide the National Bank of Belgium with certain details regarding such foreign accounts (including the account number, bank name and country in which any such account was opened). The forms to complete this report are available on the website of the National Bank of Belgium.
Stock Exchange Tax Information. A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by a Belgian resident through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, such as a U.S. broker. The stock exchange tax likely will apply when shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan are sold. You should consult with your tax or financial advisor for additional details on your obligations with respect to the stock exchange tax.
Brokerage Account Tax Information. You may be subject to a brokerage account tax if the average annual value of securities (including shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) held by you in a brokerage account

16




exceeds certain thresholds. As the calculation of this tax is complex, you should consult your personal tax advisor for more details.
Brazil
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that (i) you are making an investment decision and (ii) the value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is not fixed and may increase or decrease in value over the Restricted Period.
Compliance with Laws. By accepting the RSUs, you agree that you will comply with Brazilian law when you vest in the RSUs, lapse in the Post-Vest Holding Period and sell shares of Common Stock. You also agree to report and pay any and all taxes associated with the vesting of the RSUs, lapse in the Post-Vest Holding Period, the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan and the receipt of any dividends.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting. You must prepare and submit a declaration of assets and rights held outside of Brazil to the Central Bank on an annual basis if you hold assets or rights valued at more than US$100,000. Quarterly reporting is required if such amount exceeds US$100,000,000. The assets and rights that must be reported include shares of Common Stock.
Tax on Financial Transaction (IOF). Repatriation of funds (e.g., sale proceeds) into Brazil and the conversion of USD into BRL associated with such fund transfers may be subject to the Tax on Financial Transactions. It is your sole responsibility to comply with any applicable Tax on Financial Transactions arising from your participation in the Plan.
Bulgaria
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. You may be required to report annually to the Bulgarian National Bank details of your receivables in bank accounts held abroad as well as your securities held abroad if the aggregate value of such receivables and securities is equal to or exceeds a certain threshold.
Canada
Settlement of RSUs. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, RSUs will be settled in shares of Common Stock only, not cash.
Securities Law Information. You acknowledge and agree that you will sell shares of Common Stock acquired through participation in the Plan only outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. Currently, the shares of Common Stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Termination of Employment. This provision replaces the second paragraph of Section 2(h)(v) of the Agreement:
In the event of termination of your employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, your right to vest in the RSUs, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that is the earlier of (1) the date upon which your employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated; (2) the date you are no longer actively employed by or providing services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (3) the date you receive written notice of termination of employment, regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under applicable laws (including, but not limited to statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer employed or actively providing services for purposes of the RSUs (including whether you may still be considered employed or actively providing services while on a leave of absence).

17




Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. You may be required to report your foreign specified property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of your foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time in the year. Foreign specified property includes cash held outside of Canada and shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, and rights to receive shares of Common Stock (e.g., RSUs). Thus, RSUs must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified property. The Form T1135 must be filed by April 30 of the following year. When shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares of Common Stock. The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time of acquisition, but if you own other shares of Common Stock of the same company, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares of Common Stock. You should consult with your personal tax advisor to determine your reporting requirements.
The following provision applies if you are resident in Quebec:
Data Privacy. This provision supplements the Data Privacy Consent provision above in this Addendum A:
You hereby authorize the Company, the Employer and their representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or non-professional, involved with the administration and operation of the Plan. You further authorize the Company and its subsidiaries to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. You further authorize the Company and its subsidiaries to record such information and to keep such information in your employee file.
Chile
Securities Law Information. The offer of the RSUs constitutes a private offering in Chile effective as of the Award Date. The offer of RSUs is made subject to general ruling n° 336 of the Commission for the Financial Market (Comisión para el Mercado Financiero, “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 the RSUs are not registered in Chile, the Company is not required to provide information about the RSUs or shares of Common Stock in Chile. Unless the RSUs and/or the shares of Common Stock are registered with the CMF, a public offering of such securities cannot be made in Chile.
Esta oferta de Unidades de Acciones Restringidas (“RSU”) constituye una oferta privada de valores en Chile y se inicia en la Fecha de la Concesión. Esta oferta de RSU se acoge a las disposiciones de la Norma de Carácter General Nº 336 (“NCG 336”) de la Comisión para el Mercado Financiero (“CMF”).  Esta oferta versa sobre valores no inscritos en el Registro de Valores o en el Registro de Valores Extranjeros que lleva la CMF, por lo que tales valores no están sujetos a la fiscalización de ésta. Por tratarse los RSU de valores no registrados en Chile, no existe obligación por parte de la Compañía de entregar en Chile información pública respecto de los RSU or 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. You are responsible for complying with foreign exchange requirements in Chile. You should consult with your personal legal advisor regarding any applicable exchange control obligations prior to vesting in the RSUs or receiving proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting or cash dividends.
You are not required to repatriate funds obtained from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the receipt of any dividends. However, if you decide to repatriate such funds, you must do so through the Formal Exchange Market if the amount of funds exceeds US$10,000. In such case, you must report the payment to a commercial bank or registered foreign exchange office receiving the funds. If your aggregate investments held outside of Chile exceed US$5,000,000 (including shares of Common Stock and any cash proceeds obtained under the Plan) in the relevant calendar year, you must report the investments quarterly to the Central Bank. Annex 3.1 of Chapter XII of the Foreign Exchange Regulations must be used to file this report. Please note that exchange control regulations in Chile are subject to change.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“CIRS”) requires all taxpayers to provide information annually regarding: (i) the taxes paid abroad which they will use as a credit against

18




Chilean income taxes, and (ii) the results of foreign investments which must be submitted electronically through the CIRS website at www.sii.cl in accordance with applicable deadlines.

You should consult with your personal legal advisor regarding how to register with the CIRS as you may be ineligible to receive certain foreign tax credits if you fail to meet the applicable reporting requirements. Exchange control and tax reporting requirements in Chile are subject to change, and you should consult with your personal legal and tax advisor regarding any reporting obligations that you may have in connection with the RSUs.
China
The following provisions apply if you are subject to the exchange control regulations in China, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:
Sales of Shares of Common Stock. To comply with exchange control regulations in China, irrespective of any Post-Vest Holding Period, you agree that the Company is authorized to force the sale of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock to be issued to you upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs at any time (including immediately upon vesting, the lapse of the Post-Vest Holding Period or after termination of your employment, as described below), and you expressly authorize the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares of Common Stock. You agree 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 you shall not be permitted to exercise any influence over how, when or whether the sales occur. You acknowledge that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares of Common Stock at any particular price.
Upon the sale of the shares of Common Stock, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale of Common Stock (less any applicable Tax-Related Items, brokerage fees or commissions) to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the restrictions set forth in this Addendum A for China below under “Exchange Control Information.” Due to fluctuations in the Common Stock price and/or applicable exchange rates between the vesting date and (if later) the date on which the shares of Common Stock are sold, the amount of proceeds realized upon sale may be more or less than the market value of the shares of Common Stock on the vesting date (which typically is the amount relevant to determining your Tax-Related Items liability). You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuations in the Common Stock price and/or any applicable exchange rate.
Treatment of Shares of Common Stock and RSUs Upon Termination of Employment. Due to exchange control regulations in China, you understand and agree that, irrespective of any Post-Vest Holding Period, any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and held by you in your brokerage account must be sold no later than the last business day of the month following the month of your termination of employment, or within such other period as determined by the Company or required by the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) (the “Mandatory Sale Date”). This includes any portion of shares of Common Stock that vest upon your termination of employment. For example, if your termination of employment occurs on March 14, 2019, then the Mandatory Sale Date will be April 30, 2019. You understand that any shares of Common Stock held by you that have not been sold by the Mandatory Sale Date will automatically be sold by the Company’s designated broker at the Company’s direction (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), as described under "Sales of Shares of Common Stock" above.
If all or a portion of your RSUs become distributable upon your termination of employment or at some time following your termination of employment, that portion will vest and become distributable immediately upon termination of your employment. Any shares of Common Stock distributed to you according to this paragraph must be sold by the Mandatory Sale Date or will be sold by the Company’s designated broker at the Company’s direction (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), as described under "Sales of Shares of Common Stock" above. You will not continue to vest in RSUs or be entitled to any portion of RSUs after your termination of employment.

Exchange Control Information. You understand and agree that, to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements, you are required to hold any shares of Common Stock to be issued to you upon vesting and settlement

19




of the RSUs in the account that has been established for you with the Company's designated broker and you acknowledge that you are prohibited from transferring any such shares of Common Stock to another brokerage account. In addition, you are required to immediately repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs and any dividends paid on such shares of Common Stock. You further understand that such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its subsidiaries, and you hereby consent and agree that the proceeds may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to you. The Company may deliver the proceeds to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, you understand that you will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, there may be delays in delivering the proceeds to you and due to fluctuations in the Common Stock trading price and/or the U.S. dollar/PRC exchange rate between the sale/payment date and (if later) when the proceeds can be converted into local currency, the proceeds that you receive may be more or less than the market value of the Common Stock on the sale/payment date (which is the amount relevant to determining your tax liability). You agree to bear the risk of any currency fluctuation between the sale/payment date and the date of conversion of the proceeds into local currency.
You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. PRC residents are required to report to SAFE details of their foreign financial assets and liabilities, as well as details of any economic transactions conducted with non-PRC residents, either directly or through financial institutions.  Under these rules, you may be subject to reporting obligations for the Common Stock or equity awards, including RSUs, acquired under the Plan and Plan-related transactions. It is your responsibility to comply with this reporting obligation and you should consult your personal advisor in this regard.
Colombia
Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement. By accepting your Award of RSUs, you expressly acknowledge that, pursuant to Article 15 of Law 50/1990 (Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code), the RSUs and any payments you receive pursuant to the RSUs are wholly discretionary and are a benefit of an extraordinary nature that do not exclusively depend on your performance. Accordingly, the Plan, the RSUs and related benefits do not constitute a component of “salary” for any legal purpose, including for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as fringe benefits, vacation pay, termination or other indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions, or any other outstanding employment-related amounts, subject to the limitations provided in Law 1393/2010.
Exchange Control Information. You are responsible for complying with any and all Colombian foreign exchange restrictions, approvals and reporting requirements in connection with the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock acquired or funds received under the Plan. This may include reporting obligations to the Central Bank (Banco de la República). If applicable, you will be required to register your investment in shares of Common Stock with the Central Bank, regardless of the value of the investment. You should obtain proper legal advice to ensure compliance with applicable Colombian regulations.
Securities Law Information. The shares of Common Stock are not and will not be registered with the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the shares of Common Stock may not be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in this document should be construed as the making of a public offer of securities in Colombia.
Czech Republic
Exchange Control Information. The Czech National Bank may require you to fulfill certain notification duties in relation to the RSUs and the opening and maintenance of a foreign account. However, because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your personal legal advisor prior to the vesting of the RSUs and the sale of shares of Common Stock and before opening any foreign accounts in connection with the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations. It is your responsibility to comply with any applicable Czech exchange control laws.

20




Denmark
Stock Option Act. You acknowledge that you have received an Employer Statement in Danish which includes a description of the terms of the RSUs as required by the Danish Stock Option Act, to the extent that the Danish Stock Option Act applies to the RSUs.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. You must report any foreign bank/broker accounts and any deposits and/or shares of Common Stock held in a foreign bank or broker in your tax return.
Securities/Tax Reporting Information. As of January 1, 2019, if you hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan in a safety-deposit account (e.g., a brokerage account) with either a Danish bank or with an approved foreign broker or bank, he or she is no longer required to file a Form V (Erklaering V) with the Danish Tax Administration. Further, if you open a brokerage account (or a bank account) with a U.S. bank, the brokerage account (or bank account, as applicable) will be treated as a deposit account if cash can be held in the account. However, you are no longer required to file a Form K (Erklaering K) with the Danish Tax Administration. The Form V and Form K have been replaced by the automatic exchange of information regarding bank and brokerage accounts. You should consult with your personal advisor to ensure compliance with any applicable obligations.
Finland
There are no country-specific provisions.

If you are in any doubt about any of the contents of the Agreement, including this Addendum A, or the Plan, or any other incidental communication materials, you should obtain independent professional advice.

You further agree that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of such shares of Common Stock (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization) and you expressly authorize the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares of Common Stock.

Securities Law Information. These materials do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia nor do they constitute placement of the shares of Common Stock in Russia. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the RSUs shall be delivered to you through a brokerage account in the U.S. You may hold shares in your brokerage account in the U.S.; however, in no event will shares issued to you and/or share certificates or other instruments be delivered to you in Russia. The issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the RSUs described herein has not and will not be registered in Russia and hence, the shares of Common Stock described herein may not be admitted or used for offering, placement or public circulation in Russia.

You are not permitted to make any public advertising or announcements regarding the RSUs or Common Stock in Russia, or promote these shares to other Russian legal entities or individuals, and you are not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of Common Stock directly to other Russian legal entities or individuals. You are permitted to sell shares of Common Stock only on the New York Stock Exchange and only through a U.S. broker.
Data Privacy. This section replaces the Data Privacy Consent provision above in this Addendum A:
You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that the Company, any subsidiary and/or the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or passport 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 RSUs or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
You understand that Data may be transferred to Fidelity, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which assists in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. In this case, appropriate safeguards will be taken by the Company to ensure that your Data is processed with an adequate level of protection and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulation (especially through contractual clauses like European Model Clauses for European countries). You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the International Compensation and Benefits Group. You authorize the Company, Fidelity and 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 your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker, escrow agent or other third party with whom the shares of

26




Common Stock received upon vesting of the RSUs may be deposited. You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.
You understand that if you reside outside the United States, you 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 and without cost, by contacting in writing the International Compensation and Benefits Group. Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that the Company would not be able to grant you RSUs or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact the International Compensation and Benefits Group.
Labor Law Information. You acknowledge that if you continue to hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan after an involuntary termination of your employment, you may not be eligible to receive unemployment benefits in Russia.
Anti-Corruption Information. Anti-corruption laws prohibit certain public servants, their spouses and their dependent children from owning any foreign source financial instruments (e.g., shares of foreign companies such as the Company).

South Africa
Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 4 of this Agreement:
You are required to immediately notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized at vesting of the RSUs. If you fail to advise the Employer of such gain, you may be liable for a fine.
Exchange Control Information. You are solely responsible for complying with applicable South African exchange control regulations, and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws. In particular, if you are a resident for exchange control purposes, you are required to obtain approval from the South African Reserve Bank for payments (including payment of proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock) that you receive into accounts based outside of South Africa (e.g., a U.S. brokerage account). Because the exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations.
Spain
Labor Law Acknowledgment. This provision supplements Sections 2(g) and 7 of the Agreement:
By accepting the RSUs, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan document.
You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, except as provided for in Section 2 of the Agreement, your termination of employment for any reason (including for the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the forfeiture of any RSUs that have not vested on the date of your termination.
In particular, you understand and agree that, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, the RSUs will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Common Stock or to any amount as indemnification in the event of a termination of your employment prior to vesting by reason of, including, but not limited to: resignation, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”), individual or collective layoff on objective grounds, whether adjudged to be with cause or adjudged or recognized to be without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute, Article 50 of the Workers’ Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Employer, and under Article 10.3 of Royal Decree 1382/1985.
Furthermore, you understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or a subsidiary. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any subsidiary on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, you understand that the RSUs are granted on the assumption and condition that the RSUs and the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs shall not become a part of any employment or service contract (either with the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, you understand that the RSUs would not be granted to you but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any Award of RSUs shall be null and void.
Securities Law Information. The RSUs and the Common Stock described in the Agreement and this Addendum A do not qualify under Spanish regulations as securities. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Agreement (including this Addendum A) has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
Exchange Control Information. If you acquire shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the RSUs and wish to import the ownership title of such shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, you must declare the importation of such securities to the Spanish Direccion General de Comercio e inversiones (the “DGCI”). Generally, the

28




declaration must be made in January for shares of Common Stock acquired or sold during (or owned as of December 31 of) the prior year; however, if the value of shares acquired or sold exceeds the applicable threshold (currently €1,502,530) (or you hold 10% or more of the share capital of the Company or such other amount that would entitle you to join the Company’s board of directors), the declaration must be filed within one month of the acquisition or sale, as applicable. In addition, you also must file a declaration of ownership of foreign securities with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January.
You are also required to electronically declare to the Bank of Spain any security accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the security (including shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting of RSUs) held in such accounts and any transactions carried out with non-residents if the value of the transactions for all such accounts during the prior year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior year exceeds €1,000,000. Unvested rights (e.g., RSUs, etc.) are not considered assets or rights for purposes of this requirement.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. To the extent you hold shares of Common Stock and/or have bank accounts outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 (for each type of asset) as of December 31, you will be required to report information on such assets on your tax return for such year. After such shares of Common Stock and/or accounts are initially reported, the reporting obligation will apply for subsequent years only if the value of any previously reported shares of Common Stock or accounts increases by more than €20,000 as of each subsequent December 31 or if you sell shares of Common Stock or cancel bank accounts that were previously reported.
Sweden
There are no country-specific provisions.
Switzerland
Securities Law Information. The RSUs are not intended to be publicly offered in or from Switzerland. Because the offer of RSUs is considered a private offering, it is not subject to registration in Switzerland. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Plan (i) constitutes a prospectus as such term is understood pursuant to article 652a of the Swiss Code of Obligations, and neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Plan (ii) may be publicly distributed nor otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland, or (iii) have been or will be filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss regulatory authority, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).
Taiwan
Securities Law Information. The grant of RSUs and any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to these RSUs are available only for employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The offer of participation in the Plan is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company.
Exchange Control Information. You may remit foreign currency (including proceeds from the sale of Common Stock) into or out of Taiwan up to US$5,000,000 per year without special permission. If the transaction amount is TWD500,000 or more in a single transaction, you must submit a Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to the remitting bank and provide supporting documentation to the satisfaction of the remitting bank.
Thailand
Exchange Control Information. If the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the receipt of dividends are equal to or greater than US$50,000 or more in a single transaction, you must repatriate the proceeds to Thailand immediately upon receipt and convert the funds to Thai Baht or deposit the proceeds in a foreign currency deposit account maintained by a bank in Thailand within 360 days of remitting the proceeds to Thailand. In addition you must report the inward remittance to the Bank of Thailand on a foreign exchange transaction form. If you fail to comply with these obligations, you may be subject to penalties assessed by the Bank of Thailand. Because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your personal advisor before selling shares of Common Stock to ensure compliance with current regulations. You are responsible for ensuring

29




compliance with all exchange control laws in Thailand, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws.

Turkey
Securities Law Information. Under Turkish law, you are not permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan in Turkey. The shares of Common Stock are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which is located outside of Turkey, under the ticker symbol “BMY” and the shares of Common Stock may be sold through this exchange.
Exchange Control Information. In certain circumstances, Turkish residents are permitted to sell shares traded on a non-Turkish stock exchange only through a financial intermediary licensed in Turkey and should be reported to the Turkish Capital Markets Board. Therefore, you may be required to appoint a Turkish broker to assist with the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. You should consult your personal legal advisor before selling any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan to confirm the applicability of this requirement.
United Arab Emirates

Acknowledgment of Nature of Plan and RSUs. This provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement:

You acknowledge that the RSUs and related benefits do not constitute a component of your “wages” for any legal purpose. Therefore, the RSUs and related benefits will not be included and/or considered for purposes of calculating any and all labor benefits, such as social insurance contributions and/or any other labor-related amounts which may be payable.

Securities Law Information. The Plan is only being offered to qualified employees and is in the nature of providing equity incentives to employees of the Company or its subsidiary or affiliate in the UAE. Any documents related to the Plan, including the Plan, Plan prospectus and other grant documents (“Plan Documents”), are intended for distribution only to such employees and must not be delivered to, or relied on by, any other person. Prospective purchasers of the securities offered should conduct their own due diligence on the securities. If you do not understand the contents of the Plan Documents, you should consult an authorized financial adviser.

The Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority has no responsibility for reviewing or verifying any Plan Documents nor taken steps to verify the information set out in them, and thus, are not responsible for such documents.
The securities to which this summary relates may be illiquid and/or subject to restrictions on their resale. Prospective purchasers of the securities offered should conduct their own due diligence on the securities.
United Kingdom
Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 4 of the Agreement:
Without limitation to Section 4 of the Agreement, you hereby agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You also hereby agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on your behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an executive officer or director of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), you understand that you may not be able to indemnify the Company or the Employer for the amount of Tax-Related Items not collected from or paid by you because the indemnification could be considered to be a loan. In this case, any income tax not collected or paid

30




within ninety (90) days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the Tax-Related Items occurs may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and employee national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. You understand that you will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company and/or the Employer (as appropriate) for the value of employee NICs due on this additional benefit which the Company and/or the Employer may recover from you by any of the means set forth in Section 4 of the Agreement.
Section 431 Election. As a condition of participation in the Plan and the vesting of the RSUs, you agree to enter into, jointly with the Employer, the joint election within Section 431 of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (“ITEPA 2003”) in respect of computing any tax charge on the acquisition of “restricted securities” (as defined in Sections 423 and 424 of ITEPA 2003), and that you will not revoke such election at any time. This election will be to treat the shares of Common Stock as if they were not restricted securities (for U.K. tax purposes only). You must enter into the form of election, attached to this Addendum A, concurrent with accepting the Agreement, or at such subsequent time as may be designated by the Company.

Joint Election under s431 ITEPA 2003 for full or partial disapplication of Chapter 2 Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003
One Part Election
1.
Between

whose National Insurance Number is             [insert employee Nat. Ins. Number]        
and
the Company (who is the Employee’s employer):         [insert employer name]
of Company Registration Number                 [insert Company Registration Number]

2.
Purpose of Election
This joint election is made pursuant to section 431(1) or 431(2) Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA) and applies where employment-related securities, which are restricted securities by reason of section 423 ITEPA, are acquired.

The effect of an election under section 431(1) is that, for the relevant Income Tax and NIC purposes, the employment-related securities and their market value will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 ITEPA do not apply. An election under section 431(2) will ignore one or more of the restrictions in computing the charge on acquisition. Additional Income Tax will be payable (with PAYE and NIC where the securities are Readily Convertible Assets).

Should the value of the securities fall following the acquisition, it is possible that Income Tax/NIC that would have arisen because of any future chargeable event (in the absence of an election) would have been less than the Income Tax/NIC due by reason of this election. Should this be the case, there is no Income Tax/NIC relief available under Part 7 of ITEPA 2003; nor is it available if the securities acquired are subsequently transferred, forfeited or revert to the original owner.

3.
Application
This joint election is made not later than 14 days after the date of acquisition of the securities by the employee and applies to:

Number of securities:        All securities to be acquired by Employee pursuant to the RSUs granted
on              under the terms of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company 2012 Stock Award and Incentive Plan.

Description of securities:         Shares of common stock
Name of issuer of securities:     Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
to be acquired by the Employee after              under the terms of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company 2012 Stock Award and Incentive Plan.

Venezuela
Investment Representation for RSUs. As a condition of the grant of the RSUs, you acknowledge and agree that any shares of Common Stock you may acquire upon vesting of the RSUs and lapse of the Post-Vest Holding Period are acquired as, and intended to be, an investment rather than for the resale of the shares of Common Stock and conversion of the shares of Common Stock into foreign currency.
Securities Law Information. The RSUs granted under the Plan and the shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan are offered as a personal, private, exclusive transaction and are not subject to Venezuelan securities regulations. This offering does not qualify as a public offering under the laws of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and, therefore, it is not required to request the previous authorization of the National Superintendent of Securities.
Exchange Control Information. Exchange control restrictions may limit the ability to vest in the RSUs or remit funds into Venezuela following the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs. The Company reserves the right to restrict settlement of the RSUs or to amend or cancel the RSUs at any time in order to comply with applicable exchange control laws in Venezuela. Any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan are intended to be an investment rather than for the resale and conversion of the shares into foreign currency. You are responsible for complying with exchange control laws in Venezuela and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws. Because exchange control laws and regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult with your personal legal advisor before accepting the RSUs and before selling any shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs to ensure compliance with current regulations.

Exhibit 10e


BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
1987 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE JUNE 13, 2019

Section 1.
Effective Date.

The effective date of this Bristol-Myers Squibb Company 1987 Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Plan”) is January 20, 1987, except the provisions of Section 12 are effective as of January 1, 2005. The Plan was amended on December 17, 2009, and the Plan was amended and restated on January 20, 2015 (the “2015 Amended Plan”) and again on June 13, 2019 (the “2019 Amended Plan”).

Section 2.
Eligibility.

Any Director of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the “Company”) who is not an officer or employee of the Company or a subsidiary thereof is eligible to participate in the Plan.

Section 3.
Deferred Compensation Account.

(a)    General. There shall be established on the books of the Company for each participant a deferred compensation account in the participant’s name. At the time a participant commences participation in the Plan, he or she shall elect to have the amounts deferred under Section 4 credited to his or her account among the notional investments then available under Sections 3(b) and (c) below. In accordance with the procedures set forth by the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company, (i) a participant may elect to change the allocation of future deferrals among the notional investments, and (ii) during the deferral period, a participant may reallocate amounts previously deferred among the notional investments; provided, however, that the elections under clauses (i) and (ii) do not apply to mandatory deferrals under Section 4(a) or discretionary deferrals under Section 4(c) and the election under clause (ii) does not apply to any deferral account balance in the form of Stock-Settled Share Units (as defined below).

(b)    Notional Investments – Cash Denominated. One or more notional investments providing for a return on cash balances will be available under the Plan for deferrals. The Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company may establish such cash-denominated notional investments, and may discontinue any existing notional investment, provided that (A) at least one such cash-denominated notional investment is available under the Plan; (B) each notional investment is expected to result in returns that will not be deemed to be “preferential” or “above-market” within the meaning of Item 402(c)(2)(viii)(B) of Regulation S-K; and (C) existing account balances are transferred from any discontinued notional investment to such other then available notional investment as the Corporate Secretary’s Office determines is most similar in character to the discontinued notional investment. For periods prior to the effectiveness of the 2015 Amended Plan and initially under the 2015 Amended Plan, the cash-denominated notional investments under the Plan were and are “Treasury Units” and “Dollar Units,” defined as follows:

i.
Treasury Units. The amount credited to a participant’s deferred compensation account as Treasury Units shall be credited with interest at a rate equal to six-month United States Treasury bill yield for the end of the calendar quarter.


1



ii.
Dollar Units. The amount credited to a participant’s deferred compensation account as Dollar Units shall be credited with interest at a rate that is equal to the Company’s weighted average return on cash investment during the current calendar quarter.
(c)    Notional Investments – Share Units. A notional investment in the form of “Share Units” will be available under the Plan, as follows:

i.
The amount credited to a participant’s deferred compensation account as Share Units shall be credited in shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which could have been purchased with the amounts deferred determined by dividing the dollar value of the amounts deferred by the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of such deferral.

ii.
Upon payment by the Company of dividends on its common stock, additional Share Units shall be credited to a participant’s deferred compensation account equal to the number of Share Units in the participant’s account as of the record date multiplied by the amount paid per share in such dividend or distribution divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock at the payment date of such dividend. For purposes of this Plan, “Fair Market Value” shall have the meaning as defined and applied under the 2012 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “2012 SAIP”); this definition applies for all purposes under the Plan.

iii.
The amount of Share Units in a participant’s deferred compensation account shall be adjusted to take into account a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, other change in corporate structure or capitalization affecting the Company’s common stock, or other equity restructuring (as that term is used in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718), with such adjustment to preserve without enlarging the rights of a participant with respect to such Share Units. The manner of such adjustment shall be in the discretion of the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company.

iv.
Except as provided in Section 6(b) below, Share Units credited before December 17, 2009 are settleable solely in cash, and are referred to herein as “Cash-Settled Share Units,” and Share Units credited on or after December 17, 2009 (and converted Share Units, as provided in Section 6(b) below) are settleable solely by delivery of whole shares of Common Stock, and are referred to herein as “Stock-Settled Share Units.”

Section 4.
Participant Deferrals.

(a)     Mandatory Deferrals. The Board of Directors shall determine the number of Share Units payable, as of February 1 of each year, to the participant in payment for membership and service on the Board of Directors. A new member of the Board of Directors who is eligible to participate in the Plan shall receive, on the date the Director joins the Board, a pro rata number of Share Units based on the number of Share Units payable to participants as of the prior February 1. For this purpose, the pro rata portion shall be determined in accordance with the procedures set forth by the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company. Such Share Units shall be deferred and credited to such participant’s deferred compensation account pursuant to Section 3. In addition, twenty-five (25) percent of the retainer fee payable to the participant for membership on the Board of Directors shall be deferred and credited to such participant’s deferred compensation account as Share Units until the end of the earliest calendar year at which the participant has met a guideline level of Share Unit or Company common stock ownership as determined by the Board of Directors and then in effect.

(b)         Elective Deferrals. A participant may elect, by filing the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8, to defer receipt for any calendar year of either (1) all of the compensation payable to the participant for serving on the Board of Directors and any committee thereof, (2) only the retainer fee payable to the participant for service on the Board of Directors, or (3) any percentage,

2



equal to or exceeding twenty-five percent of the compensation payable to the participant specified in clause (1) hereof.

(c)         Discretionary Deferrals. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, provide additional compensation to eligible directors in the form of Share Units, with such Share Units being deferred and credited to the participant’s deferred compensation account pursuant to Section 3.

Section 5.
Period of Deferral.

A participant may elect to defer receipt of compensation either (1) until a specified year in the future, but in no event more than five years after termination of service, (2) until the cessation of the participant’s service as a Director or (3) until after the end of the calendar year in which the cessation of the participant’s service as a Director occurs. If alternative (1) is elected, payment will be made or will commence on February 1 of the year specified; if alternative (2) is elected, payment will be made or will commence on the date that is sixty days after the cessation of the participant’s service as a director; and if alternative (3) is elected, payment will be made or will commence on February 1 after the end of the calendar year in which the cessation of the participant’s service as a Director occurs. Installment payments under the Plan will be made on the anniversary of the applicable commencement date. If any payment date specified under the Plan is not a business day, the payment will be made on the first business day thereafter. For purposes of this Plan, cessation of service as a Director means a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h).

Section 6.
Form of Payment.

(a)    Lump-Sum or Installments. A participant may elect to receive distributions of the deferred compensation under the Plan in either (1) a lump sum or (2) a number of annual installments, not more than ten, as specified by the participant. If installment payments are elected, the amount of each installment shall be equal to the balance in the participant’s deferred compensation account divided by the number of installments remaining to be paid (including the installment in question). Elections under this Section 6(a) shall be made by the applicable deadline under Section 8, except as otherwise permitted under Section 12.

(b)    Settlement in Cash or Shares. Cash-Settled Share Units and other deferrals, but not Stock-Settled Share Units, will be settled in cash. Stock-Settled Share Units will be settled by delivery of one share of Common Stock for each whole Share Unit being settled. The Corporate Secretary may agree with a participant to convert Cash-Settled Share Units into Stock-Settled Share Units at a date designated by the Secretary for such conversion, if the participant previously has filed an election to make such conversion as to all of the Participant’s then outstanding Cash-Settled Share Units. Until the conversion date, the Company shall be under no obligation to make such conversion, and the Corporate Secretary shall retain discretion not to accept participants’ offers to convert the Cash-Settled Share Units to Stock-Settled Share Units. Upon conversion, the Share Units will be settleable solely by delivery of shares of Common Stock, and the participant shall have no right to a cash settlement of the Share Units (except as may be provided in connection with an adjustment under Section 3(c)(iii) or cash in lieu of a fractional share). Stock-Settled Share Units will be deemed to be Stock Units granted under Section 6(e) of the 2012 SAIP, and this Plan shall be deemed a sub-plan under the 2012 SAIP (or any successor plan to the 2012 SAIP then in effect) such that shares issued in settlement of those Stock-Settled Share Units will be drawn from the 2012 SAIP (or such successor Plan) (prior to the effectiveness of the 2012 SAIP, Stock-Settled Share Units were granted under the 2007 Stock Award and Incentive Plan). For any settlement of Cash-Settled Share Units, the dollar value of the Cash-Settled Share Units shall be determined by multiplying the number of such Share Units credited to a participant’s deferred compensation account on the date of such settlement by the Fair Market Value on such date.


3



Section 7.
Death of Participant.

A participant may elect that, in the event he or she dies prior to receipt of any or all of the amounts payable pursuant to this Plan, any amounts remaining in the participant’s deferred compensation account shall be paid to the participant’s Beneficiary (as defined in Section 19) in either (1) a lump sum paid on the 60th day following the participant’s death or (2) a number of annual installments, not more than ten, as specified by the participant. If alternative (2) is elected and payment to the participant pursuant to clause (2) of Section 6(a) has not commenced prior to death, the initial installment payment hereunder shall be made sixty days after the participant’s death, with subsequent installment payments on the anniversary of the commencement date, and the amount of each such installment shall be determined as provided in the second sentence of Section 6. If alternative (2) is elected and payment to the participant pursuant to clause (2) of Section 6(a) had commenced prior to death, the installment payments to the participant’s Beneficiary (as defined in Section 19) shall be made at the same time and in the same amount as such payments would have been made to the participant had he or she survived. For purposes of this Section 7, the dollar value of Cash-Settled Share Units (but not Stock-Settled Share Units) shall be determined by multiplying the number of Share Units credited to a participant’s deferred compensation account on the designated valuation date by the Fair Market Value on such date. The Corporate Secretary’s Office will designate the valuation date at a date as near as administratively practicable to the payment date applicable under this Section 7. Any election permitted under this Section 7 must be made prior to the year of deferral, except that an election may be made not later than December 31, 2008 to the extent permitted under applicable rules under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

Section 8.
Time of Election of Deferral.

An election to defer compensation may be made by (i) a first-time nominee for election as a Director prior to his/her election for the remainder of the calendar year in which he/she is being elected (except that a person newly elected a Director by the Board of Directors may make an election to defer compensation within 30 days after his/her election as a Director, in which event such election to defer compensation shall be effective only with respect to compensation paid for services performed after the election to defer compensation is made) and (ii) a person then currently serving as a Director for the next succeeding calendar year no later than the preceding December 31. This election will be deemed to be an election to defer compensation under this Plan for each succeeding calendar year, unless (1) the participant elects, in accordance with Section 11, to discontinue the deferral, (2) the Board of Directors discontinues the Plan in accordance with Code Section 409A, or (3) the election is stated, in writing, to apply only to the first calendar year applicable under (i) or (ii) above.

Section 9
[Reserved].

Section 10.
Manner of Electing Deferral.

A participant may elect to defer compensation by giving written notice to the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company on a form provided by the Company, which notice shall include the amount to be deferred, the notional investments in which the amount deferred is to be credited, the period of deferral, and the form of payment (including the number of installments, if any).

Section 11.
Effect of Election.

An election to defer compensation, including the period of deferral and form of payment, shall be irrevocable by the participant once the calendar year to which it applies has commenced. An election may be discontinued or modified by the participant with respect to calendar years not yet begun by notifying the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company in writing no later than December 31 of the preceding year. The following default rules will apply if no valid election is on file specifying

4



the matter or the intent of the participant with respect to the matter is not clearly indicated in the applicable election that is on file;

(i)
The default allocation of deferred amounts will be to the cash-denominated notional investment that most nearly corresponds to a money market fund under Section 3(b), as determined by the Corporate Secretary’s Office;

(ii)
The default period of deferral under Section 5 will be until the cessation of the participant’s service as a Director;

(iii)
The default form of payment under Section 6(a) will be a lump sum; and

(iv)
The default distribution payable upon the death of participant will be as a lump sum paid on the 60th day following the participant’s death.

Section 12.
Further Election.

The participant shall have the one-time right with regard to compensation previously deferred (under Section 4(a), (b) or (c)) to elect a further deferral of the payment of such deferred compensation by delivering to the Corporate Secretary’s Office a written statement in a form provided by the Company specifying the further period of deferral and the form of payment, including the number of installments, if any, subject to the following rules:

(i)
Any such election may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made;

(ii)
If any such election relates to payments that are subject to alternatives under Section 5, the first payment with respect to such election shall be made not earlier than five years after the date payment would have been made absent the further deferral election under this Section 12; and

(iii)
Any such election relating to a payment subject to alternative (1) under Section 5 shall not be effective if made fewer than 12 months before the date of the first scheduled payment (including the earliest of a series of installment payments).

The foregoing notwithstanding, and subject to any rules or limitations that may be imposed by the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company, deferrals and redeferrals may be permitted by the Corporate Secretary's Office of the Company in accordance with the rules set forth on Exhibit A.

Section 13.
Participant’s Rights Unsecured.

The right of any Participant to receive future payments under the provisions of the Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company.

Section 14.
Statement of Account.

A statement will be sent to each participant at least annually as to the value of his/her deferred compensation account as of the end of the preceding year; provided, however, that the Company may elect to discontinue such statements if all participants are provided with on-line accounts maintained by a third-party provider showing real-time account information.

Section 15.
Assignability.

5



No right to receive payments hereunder shall be transferable or assignable by a participant, except by will or under the laws of descent and distribution, or subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the participant or the participant's beneficiary.

Section 16.
Administration.

This Plan will be administered by the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company, which shall have the authority to adopt rules and regulations to carry out the Plan and to interpret, construe and implement the provisions of the Plan; to resolve questions arising in the administration of the Plan; and to adopt such rules and procedures as it may deem advisable for the administration of the Plan.

Section 17.
Amendment.

This Plan may at any time or from time to time be amended, modified or terminated by the Board of Directors. The Board may delegate its authority under this Section 17 to the Committee on Directors and Corporate Governance. No amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of the participant, materially and adversely affect such participant’s accruals in his/her deferred compensation account as of the date of amendment, modification or termination.

Section 18. Compliance with Code Section 409A.

Other provisions of this Plan notwithstanding, deferrals under this Plan shall comply with the requirements under the Code, including without limitation Code Section 409A, and Treasury Regulations (including any applicable guidance thereunder) as presently in effect or hereafter implemented: (i) If the timing of any payment under this Plan would result in a participant's constructive receipt of income prior to such payment, the payment will be the earliest date after the specified payment date that distribution can be effected without resulting in such constructive receipt; (ii) the Company shall have no authority to accelerate any payment hereunder except as permitted under Section 409A and regulations thereunder; and (iii) any rights of the participant or retained authority of the Company with respect to deferrals hereunder shall be automatically modified and limited to the extent necessary so that a participant will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of income relating to the deferrals prior to the payment to ensure that the participant shall not be subject to any penalty under Code Section 409A. In the event that a participant has become "key employee" (as defined in Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) and any of the Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, a distribution under the Plan triggered by a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) and which would be within six months after such separation shall instead occur at the expiration of the six-month period under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i). In the case of installments, this delay shall not affect the timing of any installment otherwise payable after the six-month delay period.



6



Section 19. Beneficiary Designations.

(a)    Beneficiary. Each participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate his or her Beneficiary(ies) (both primary as well as contingent) to receive any benefits payable under the Plan to a beneficiary upon the death of a participant as specified pursuant to Section 7 above. The Beneficiary designated under the Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other plan of the Company in which the participant participates. For purposes of the Plan, “Beneficiary” shall mean one or more persons, trusts, estates or other entities, designated in accordance with this Section 19, that are entitled to receive benefits under the Plan upon the death of a participant. If a participant fails to designate a Beneficiary or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the participant or die prior to complete distribution of the participant’s benefits, then the participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her surviving spouse. If the participant has no surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under the Plan to be paid to a Beneficiary shall be payable to the executor or personal representative of the participant’s estate.
(b)    Beneficiary Designation; Change. A participant shall designate his or her Beneficiary by delivering to the Corporate Secretary’s Office a written statement or instructions in a form provided by the Company (the “Beneficiary Designation Form”). A participant shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. No Beneficiary Designation Form shall be valid unless accepted by the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company. Upon the acceptance by the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be canceled. The Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the participant and accepted by the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company prior to the participant’s death.
(c)    Doubt as to Beneficiary. If the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to receive payments pursuant to the Plan, the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company shall have the right, exercisable in its discretion, to cause the Company to withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to the Corporate Secretary’s Office of the Company satisfaction.
(d)    Discharge of Obligations. The payment of benefits under the Plan to a Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge the Company from all further obligations under the Plan with respect to the participant.

Exhibit A


Deferral Election Rules

If a participant in a plan, program or other compensatory arrangement (a "plan") of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the "Company") is permitted to elect to defer awards or other compensation, any such election relating to compensation deferred under the applicable plan must be received by the Company prior to the date specified by or at the direction of the administrator of such plan (the "Administrator”). For purposes of compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), any such election to defer shall be subject to the rules set forth below, subject to any additional restrictions as may be specified by the Administrator. Under no circumstances may a participant elect to defer compensation to which he or she has attained, at the time of deferral, a legally enforceable right to current receipt of such compensation.

(1)
Initial Deferral Elections. Any initial election to defer compensation (including the election as to the type and amount of compensation to be deferred and the time and manner of settlement of the deferral) must be made (and shall be irrevocable) no later than December 31 of the year before the participant’s services are performed which will result in the earning of the compensation, except as follows:

Initial deferral elections with respect to compensation that, absent the election, constitutes a short-term deferral may be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(4) and (b);
Initial deferral elections with respect to compensation that remains subject to a requirement that the participant provide services for at least 12 months (a “forfeitable right” under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(5)) may be made on or before the 30th day after the participant obtains the legally binding right to the compensation, provided that the election is made at least 12 months before the earliest date at which the forfeiture condition could lapse and otherwise in compliance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(5);
Initial deferral elections by a participant in his or her first year of eligibility may be made within 30 days after the date the participant becomes eligible to participate in the applicable plan, with respect to compensation paid for services to be performed after the election and in compliance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)((7);
Initial deferral elections by a participant with respect to performance-based compensation (as defined under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(e)) may be made on or before the date that is six months before the end of the performance period, provided that (i) the participant continuously served as a director from either the beginning of the performance period or the later date on which the performance goal was established, (ii) the election to defer is made before such compensation has become readily ascertainable (i.e., substantially certain to be paid), (iii) the performance period is at least 12 months in length and the performance goal was established no later than 90 days after the commencement of the service period to which the performance goal relates, (iv) the performance-based compensation is not payable in the absence of performance except due to death, disability, a 409A Ownership/Control Change (as defined in Section 11(k) of the 2007 Stock Award and Incentive Plan) or as otherwise permitted under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(e), and (v) this initial deferral election must in any event comply with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(8);
Initial deferral elections resulting in Company matching contributions may be made in compliance with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a)(9);


i


Initial deferral elections may be made to the fullest permitted under other applicable provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(a); and

(2)
Further Deferral Elections. The foregoing notwithstanding, for any election to further defer an amount that is deemed to be a deferral of compensation subject to Code Section 409A (to the extent permitted under Company plans, programs and arrangements), any further deferral election made under the plan shall be subject to the following, provided that deferral elections in 2007 and 2008 may be made under applicable transition rules under Section 409A:

The further deferral election will not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made;
If the election relates to a distribution event other than a Disability (as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(4)), death, or Unforeseeable Emergency (as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(3)), the payment with respect to which such election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid (or in the case of a life annuity or installment payments treated as a single payment, five years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid), to the extent required under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(b);
The requirement that the further deferral election be made at least 12 months before the original deferral amount would be first payable may not be waived by the Administrator, and shall apply to a payment at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule (and in the case of a life annuity or installment payments treated as a single payment, 12 months before the date that the first amount was scheduled to be paid);
The further deferral election shall be irrevocable when filed with the Company; and
The further deferral election otherwise shall comply with the applicable requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-2(b).

(3)
Transition Rules. Initial deferral elections and elections to change any existing deferred date for distribution of compensation in any transition period designated under Department of the Treasury and IRS regulations may be permitted by the Company to the fullest extent authorized under transition rules and other applicable guidance under Code Section 409A (including transition rules in effect in the period 2005 – 2008).
