By completing this form and accepting the grant of the stock options or RSUs evidenced hereby, I acknowledge that: i) the Plans are established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; ii) the grant of options or RSUs under the Plans is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options or RSUs, or benefits in lieu of options or RSUs, even if options or RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past; iii) all decisions with respect to future grants of options or RSUs, if any, will be at the sole discretion of P&G; iv) my participation in the Plans is voluntary; v) the option or RSU is an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; vi) in the event that my employer is not P&G, the grant of options or RSUs will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with P&G; and furthermore, the grant of options or RSUs will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with my Employer; vii) the future value of the shares purchased under the Plans is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty, may increase or decrease in value, even below the exercise price and, if the underlying shares do not increase in value, the option will have no value; iix) my participation in the Plans shall not create a right to further employment with my Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of my Employer to terminate my employment relationship at any time, with or without cause; ix) and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the termination of the option or RSU or the diminution in value of the option or RSU or shares purchased and I irrevocably release P&G and my Employer from any such claim that may arise.

Prior to exercise of the option or settlement of the shares from the RSU, I shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to P&G and/or my Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of P&G and/or my Employer. In this regard, I authorize P&G and/or my Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items from my wages or other cash compensation paid to me by P&G and/or my Employer or from proceeds of the sale of the shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, P&G may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares that I acquire to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in shares, provided that P&G only withholds the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, I shall pay to P&G or my Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that P&G or my Employer may be required to withhold as a result of my participation in the Plans or my purchase of shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. P&G may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the shares if I fail to comply with my obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.

Form RTN
2. Transfer and Restrictions.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit (including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents).
(b) During the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units (including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents) will be forfeited and cancelled if you leave your employment with Procter & Gamble for any reason, except due to: (i) your Disability; (ii) death; or (iii) in certain circumstances, your Special Separation. In the event of your death or Disability during the Forfeiture Period, your Forfeiture Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or Disability. In the event of your Special Separation during the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and cancelled unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company.
(c) Upon your death or upon your Disability that satisfies the definition of “disability” under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”) at any time while you hold Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalents, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or Disability, as applicable.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Forfeiture Date (if any) shall become the date the Change in Control occurred. If the Change in Control occurrence meets the definitional requirements of a change in control as defined under Section 409A, your Original Settlement Date will become the date the Change in Control occurred, and the award will be settled in accordance with the terms of the Plan. If the Change in Control does not meet the Section 409A requirements, your Original Settlement Date will not be changed.
(e) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
(f) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted Stock Units.
3. Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is
Form RTN
the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, "trade secrets or other confidential information" also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted

Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Dividend Equivalents.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant Date until the Original Settlement Date, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
5. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. Adjustments in Case of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
7. Tax Withholding.
To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.

8. Suspension Periods and Termination.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate and to the extent such action does not result in immediate taxation and penalties under Section 409A.
9. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you that the Committee determines has, or is reasonably likely to have, a significant adverse impact on the reputation, goodwill, stability, operation, personnel retention and management, or business of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
10. Data Privacy.

3. Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
Form KM
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, "trade secrets or other confidential information" also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will

not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
5. Adjustments in Case of Stock Splits, Etc.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
6. Tax Withholding.
To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you.

You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will
Form KMG
not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
5. Adjustments in Case of Stock Splits, Etc.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
6. Tax Withholding.
To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
7. Suspension Periods and Termination.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate and to the extent such action does not result in immediate taxation and penalties under Section 409A.
8. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you that the Committee determines has, or is reasonably likely to have, a significant adverse impact on the reputation, goodwill, stability, operation, personnel retention and management, or business of Procter & Gamble or any
Form KMG
subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
9. Data Privacy.
By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. 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 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 contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the

3. Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):

(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties,
Form KMW
acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, "trade secrets or other confidential information" also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so.

(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.

A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.

In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.

You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be
Form OPN
enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Dividend Equivalents.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the Settlement period, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
5. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. Adjustments in Case of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
7. Tax Withholding.
To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
Form OPN
8. Suspension Periods and Termination.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate and to the extent such action does not result in immediate taxation and penalties under Section 409A.
9. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you that the Committee determines has, or is reasonably likely to have, a significant adverse impact on the reputation, goodwill, stability, operation, personnel retention and management, or business of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
10. Data Privacy.
By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as
Form OPN
applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. 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 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 contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, 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.

Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit (including all rights to Dividend Equivalents).

3. Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, "trade secrets or other confidential information" also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or
Form RTD
participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Dividend Equivalents.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant Date until the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date, whichever is later, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
5. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. Adjustments in Case of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of
Form RTD
shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
7. Tax Withholding.
To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
8. Suspension Periods and Termination.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate and to the extent such action does not result in immediate taxation and penalties under Section 409A.
9. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you that the Committee determines has, or is reasonably likely to have, a significant adverse impact on the reputation, goodwill, stability, operation, personnel retention and management, or business of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the
Form RTD
sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
10. Data Privacy.
By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Procter & Gamble holds certain personal information about you, including without limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Gamble entity, details of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. 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 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 contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, 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.

If the Change in Control occurrence meets the definitional requirements of a change in control as defined under Section 409A, your Original Settlement date (or Agreed Settlement Date, if applicable) will become the date the Change in Control occurred, and the award will be settled in accordance with the terms of the Plan. If the Change in Control does not meet the Section 409A requirements, your Original Settlement Date (or Agreed Settlement Date, if applicable) will not be changed.
(f) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, to agree to an Agreed Settlement Date, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
Form RTD-A
(g) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted Stock Units.
3. Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 3(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
(b) The provisions of Section 3(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 3(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, "trade secrets or other confidential information" also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
Form RTD-A
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 3(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Dividend Equivalents.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant Date until the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date, whichever is later, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
5. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
6. Adjustments in Case of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
Form RTD-A
7. Tax Withholding.
To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
8. Suspension Periods and Termination.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate and to the extent such action does not result in immediate taxation and penalties under Section 409A.
9. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you that the Committee determines has, or is reasonably likely to have, a significant adverse impact on the reputation, goodwill, stability, operation, personnel retention and management, or business of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar
Form RTD-A
payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
10. Data Privacy.
By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Procter & Gamble holds certain personal information about you, including without limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Gamble entity, details of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. 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 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 contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, 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.

Form RTN2
products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.

(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 3(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity,

duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 3(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
4. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.

2. Transfer and Restrictions.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit (including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents).
(b) During the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units (including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents) will be forfeited and cancelled if you leave your position as a Director of the Company for any reason, except due to your: (i) disability; (ii) retirement after attaining the age of sixty-nine (69); (iii) resignation following retirement from your principal employer in good standing under the terms or your principal employer’s retirement plan; or (iv) resignation for reasons of antitrust laws or the Company’s conflict of interest, corporate governance or continued service policies. In the event of your disability during the Forfeiture Period, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, your Original Settlement Date shall automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your disability. In the event of any of the other above exceptions occurring, you will retain your Restricted Stock Units subject to the Plan and these Terms and Conditions.
(c) At any time at least one calendar year prior to the Original Settlement Date, you and the Company may agree to postpone the date on which you are entitled to receive one share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit you hold according to the deferral terms in place at the time, and provided the new date (the “Agreed Settlement Date”) is at least five years from the Original Settlement Date.
(d) Upon your death or upon your disability that satisfies the definition of “disability” under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”), at any time while you hold Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalents, your Original Settlement Date (or Agreed Settlement Date, if applicable) will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or disability, as applicable.
(e) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the forfeiture Date (if any) shall become the date the Change in Control occurred. If the Change in Control occurrence meets the definitional requirements of a change in control as defined under Section 409A, your Original Settlement Date (or Agreed Settlement Date, if applicable) will become the date the change in control occurred, and the award will be settled in accordance with the terms of the Plan. If the Change in Control does not meet the Section 409A requirements, your Original Settlement Date (or Agreed Settlement Date, if applicable) will not be changed.
(f) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, to agree to an Agreed Settlement Date, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
Form BOD
(g) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted Stock Units.
3. Dividend Equivalents.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant Date until the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date, whichever is later, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
4. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
5. Adjustments in Case of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
6. Tax Withholding.
To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
Form BOD
7. Suspension Periods and Termination.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate and to the extent such action does not result in immediate taxation and penalties under Section 409A.
8. Data Privacy.
By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. 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 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 contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 3 herein, neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit (including all rights to Dividend Equivalents).
(b) During the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units (including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents) will be forfeited and cancelled if you leave your employment with Procter & Gamble for any reason, except due to: (i) your Disability; (ii) death; or (iii) in certain circumstances, your Special Separation. In the event of your death or Disability during the Forfeiture Period, your Forfeiture Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or Disability. In the event of your Special Separation during the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and cancelled unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company.
(c) At any time at least one calendar year prior to the Original Settlement Date, you and the Company may agree to postpone the date on which you are entitled to receive one share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit you hold, according to the deferral terms in place at the time, and provided the new date (the “Agreed Settlement Date”) is at least five years from the Original Settlement Date.
(d) Upon your death or upon your Disability that satisfies the definition of “disability” under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”) at any time while you hold Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalents, your Original Settlement Date (or Agreed Settlement Date, if applicable) will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or Disability, as applicable.
(e) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Forfeiture Date (if any) shall become the date the Change in Control occurred. If the Change in Control occurrence meets the definitional requirements of a change in control as defined under Section 409A, your Original Settlement Date (or Agreed Settlement Date, if applicable) will become the date the change in Control occurred, and the award will be settled in accordance with the terms of the Plan. If the Change in Control does not meet the Section 409A requirements, your Original Settlement Date (or Agreed Settlement Date, if applicable) will not be changed.
(f) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, to agree to an Agreed Settlement Date, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.

3. Conversion to Deferred Compensation Plan
(a) You are entitled to convert all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units awarded to you as set forth in the letter and Dividend Equivalents into a contribution to The Procter & Gamble Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) once you reach age 50. Any such conversions must be completed during one of the Company’s open window periods for executives and are subject to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and any other restrictions in place at the time of conversion (claw-back provisions, share ownership requirements, etc.).
(b) The value of any contribution to the Deferred Compensation Plan resulting from the conversion of Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents shall be determined by multiplying the number of Restricted Stock Units to be converted by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of conversion
(c) Contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan resulting from the conversion of Restricted Stock Units will be placed into a notional account and administered in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in that plan, as amended.
4. Confidentiality and Non-Competition
(a) In order to better protect the goodwill of Procter & Gamble and to prevent the disclosure of Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets and confidential information, and thereby help ensure the long-term success of Procter & Gamble’s business, in consideration of your being awarded Restricted Stock Units, you (without prior written consent of Procter & Gamble), will not engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director, manager, supervisor, employee, advisor, consultant or otherwise, for a period of three (3) years following the date your employment with Procter & Gamble is terminated in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion, or sale of any product which is the same as or similar to or competitive with any products of Procter & Gamble (including both existing products as well as products known to you, as a consequence of your employment with Procter & Gamble, to be in development):
(i) with respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble; or
(ii) with respect to which, during the two (2) years preceding the termination of your employment with Procter & Gamble, you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of Procter & Gamble.
For purposes of this Section 4(a), it will be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge of information you were directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or documents containing such information, or through attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.
Form RTD-C
(b) The provisions of Section 4(a) are not in lieu of, but are in addition to your continuing obligation (which you acknowledge by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units) to not use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). As used in this Section 4(b), “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities partially or entirely outside of the United States, the appropriate domestic United States and/or appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry(ies). Information regarding products in development, in test marketing, or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information Procter & Gamble is considering for broader use, will not be deemed to be “generally known” until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. As used in this Section, "trade secrets or other confidential information" also includes personnel knowledge about a manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries gained in the course of your employment with Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries (including personnel ratings or rankings, manager or peer evaluations, performance records, special skills or abilities, compensation, work and development plans, training, nature of specific project and work assignments, or specialties developed as a result of such assignments) which directly or indirectly affords you a confidential basis to solicit, encourage, or participate in soliciting any manager, or managers, of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary to terminate his or her relationship with Procter & Gamble or that subsidiary.
(c) By accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units, you agree that, if you were, without authority, to use or disclose Procter & Gamble’s trade secrets or confidential information or threaten to do so, Procter & Gamble would be entitled to injunctive and other appropriate relief to prevent you from doing so. You further agree that the harm caused to Procter & Gamble by the breach or anticipated breach of this Section 4(c) is, by its nature, irreparable because, among other things, it is not readily susceptible of proof as to the monetary harm that would ensue. You agree that any interim or final equitable relief entered by a court of competent jurisdiction will, at the request of Procter & Gamble, be entered on consent and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over you, without prejudice to any rights you or Procter & Gamble may have to appeal from the proceedings which resulted in any grant of such relief.
(d) If any of the provisions contained in Sections 4(a) through (c) are for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after your acceptance of an award of Restricted Stock Units, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad as to scope of activity, duration, or territory, then by accepting an award of Restricted Stock Units you agree to join Procter & Gamble in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then-applicable law. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 4(a) through (c) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, then the remainder of the provisions will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected, impaired or invalidated in any way.
5. Dividend Equivalents.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant Date until the Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date, whichever is later, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is paid with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share
Form RTD-C
amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
6. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
7. Adjustments in Case of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.
In the event of a future reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, share exchange, reclassification, distribution, spin-off, or other change affecting the corporate structure, capitalization or Common Stock, the number of Restricted Stock Units you hold will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of your rights.
8. Tax Withholding.
To the extent Procter & Gamble is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, the Committee may require you to make such arrangements as Procter & Gamble may deem appropriate for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld, including without limitation, relinquishment of some of the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be given to you. However, regardless of any action taken by Procter & Gamble with respect to any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax, by accepting a Restricted Stock Unit or Dividend Equivalent, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for any such tax owed by you is and remains your responsibility, and that Procter & Gamble makes no representations about the tax treatment of your Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents, and does not commit to structure any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate your tax liability.
9. Suspension Periods and Termination.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate and to the extent such action does not result in immediate taxation and penalties under Section 409A.
10. Procter & Gamble Right to Terminate Employment and Other Remedies.
(a) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, or the fact that you have been awarded Restricted Stock Units, affects in any way the right or power of Procter & Gamble to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or precludes Procter & Gamble from taking any action or
Form RTD-C
enforcing any remedy available to it with respect to any action or conduct on your part. Without limiting the previous sentence, the Committee may, for example, suspend or terminate any outstanding Restricted Stock Units for actions taken by you if the Committee determines that you have acted significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this paragraph, an action taken “significantly contrary to the best interests of Procter & Gamble or its subsidiaries” includes without limitation any action taken or threatened by you that the Committee determines has, or is reasonably likely to have, a significant adverse impact on the reputation, goodwill, stability, operation, personnel retention and management, or business of Procter & Gamble or any subsidiary. This paragraph is in addition to any remedy Procter & Gamble or a subsidiary may have at law or in equity, including without limitation injunctive and other appropriate relief.
(b) By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
11. Data Privacy.
By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, any Procter & Gamble entity or third party for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that Procter & Gamble holds certain personal information about you, including without limitation your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in a Procter & Gamble entity, details of all options, Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the

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 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 contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.

(e) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and in the event Article L, Paragraph 4(b) of the Plan applies, then notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary (including Article L, Paragraph 4(b)(iv)), (i) the Forfeiture Date (if any) shall become the date the Change in Control occurred, (ii)if the Change in Control occurrence meets the definitional requirements of a change in control as defined under Section 409A, your Original Settlement Date (or Agreed Settlement Date, if applicable) will become the date the change in Control occurred, and the award will be settled in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and (iii) if the Change in Control does not meet the Section 409A requirements, your award will be settled on the Original Settlement Date (or Agreed Settlement Date, if applicable).
(f) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, to agree to an Agreed Settlement Date, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
(g) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted Stock Units.
3. Dividend Equivalents.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant Date until the Original Settlement Date (or the Agreed Settlement Date, if applicable) whichever is later, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is declared with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
4. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
5. Suspension Periods and Termination.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate and to the extent such action does not result in immediate taxation and penalties under Section 409A.
6. Consent
By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.

” shall have the meaning provided under Section 409A.
2. Transfer and Restrictions.
(a) Neither Restricted Stock Units nor your interest in them may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given or otherwise disposed of by you at any time, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of a Restricted Stock Unit, whether voluntary or involuntary on your part, will result in the immediate forfeiture to the Company, and cancellation, of the Restricted Stock Unit (including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents).
(b) During the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units (including all rights to receive Dividend Equivalents) will be forfeited and cancelled if you leave your employment with Procter & Gamble for any reason, except due to: (i) your Disability; (ii) death; or (iii) in certain circumstances, your Special Separation. In the event of your death or Disability during the Forfeiture Period, your Forfeiture Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or Disability. In the event of your Special Separation during the Forfeiture Period, your Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited and cancelled unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company.
(c) Upon your death or upon your Disability while you hold Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalents, your Original Settlement Date will automatically and immediately become, without any further action by you or the Company, the date of your death or Disability, as applicable.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and in the event Article L, Paragraph 4(b) of the Plan applies, then notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary (including Article L, Paragraph 4(b)(iv)), (i) the Forfeiture Date (if any) shall become the date the Change in Control occurred, (ii) if the Change in Control occurrence meets the definitional requirements of a change in control as defined under Section 409A, your Original Settlement Date will become the date the Change in Control occurred, and the award will be settled in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and (iii) if the Change in Control does not meet the Section 409A requirements, your award will be settled on the Original Settlement Date.
(e) From time to time, the Company and/or the Committee may establish procedures with which you must comply in order to accept an award of Restricted Stock Units, or to settle your Restricted Stock Units, including requiring you to do so by means of electronic signature, or charging you an administrative fee for doing so.
(f) Once your Restricted Stock Units have been settled by delivery to you of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, the Restricted Stock Units will have no further value, force or effect and you will cease to receive Dividend Equivalents associated with the Restricted Stock Units.
3. Dividend Equivalents.
As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, during the period from the Grant Date until the Original Settlement Date, each time a cash dividend or other cash distribution is declared with respect to Common Stock, you will receive additional Restricted Stock Units (“Dividend Equivalents”). The number of such additional Restricted Stock Units will be determined as follows: multiply the number of Restricted Stock Units currently held by the per share amount of the cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Common Stock, and then divide the result by the price of the Common Stock on the date of the dividend or distribution. These Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Restricted Stock Units that gave rise to them, including forfeiture and settlement terms, except that if there is a fractional number of Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units on the
date they are to be settled, you will receive one share of Common Stock for the fractional Dividend Equivalent Restricted Stock Units.
4. Voting and Other Shareholder Rights.
A Restricted Stock Unit is not a share of Common Stock, and thus you are not entitled to any voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units you hold.
5. Suspension Periods and Termination.
The Company reserves the right from time to time to temporarily suspend your right to settle your Restricted Stock Units for shares of Common Stock where such suspension is deemed by the Company as necessary or appropriate and to the extent such action does not result in immediate taxation and penalties under Section 409A.
6. Consent.
By accepting a Restricted Stock Unit, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by The Procter & Gamble Company, is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time; (ii) the award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Unit awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item and not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including without limitation calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) in the event that your employer is not the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company; and, furthermore, the award of Restricted Stock Units will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with any Procter & Gamble entity; (vii) the future value of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, or diminution in value of Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock received in settlement thereof, and you irrevocably release Procter & Gamble from any such claim that may arise.
7. Data Privacy.

You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting your local human resources representative. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to any broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock in connection with the settlement of your Restricted Stock Units. 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 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 contained in this paragraph, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative.

For 20XX deferrals, the earliest year you may receive an in-service distribution is 20XX.
