NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
General Information
Management believes the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary to fairly present the financial position of Stryker Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Stryker," the "Company," "we," us" or "our") on June 30, 2021 and the results of operations for the three and six months 2021. The results of operations included in these Consolidated Financial Statements may not necessarily be indicative of our annual results. These statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2020.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
We evaluate all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for consideration of their applicability. ASUs not included in our disclosures were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 2 - REVENUE RECOGNITION
Our policies for recognizing sales have not changed from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2020.
We disaggregate our net sales by product line and geographic location for each of our segments as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and certainty of our net sales and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
On June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 contract assets recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets were not significant.
Our contract liabilities arise as a result of consideration received from customers at inception of contracts for certain businesses or where the timing of billing for services precedes satisfaction of our performance obligations. We generally satisfy performance obligations within one year from the contract inception date. Our contract liabilities were $476 and $416 on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
We use operational and economic hedges, foreign currency exchange forward contracts, net investment hedges (both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments) and interest rate derivative instruments to manage the impact of currency exchange and interest rate fluctuations on earnings, cash flow and equity. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. We are exposed to potential credit loss in the event of nonperformance by our counterparties on our outstanding derivative instruments but do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our counterparties. Should a counterparty default, our maximum loss exposure is the asset balance of the instrument. We have not changed our hedging
strategies, accounting practices or objectives from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2020.

We have €1,500 in certain forward currency contracts designated as net investment hedges to hedge a portion of our investments in certain of our entities with functional currencies denominated in Euros. In addition to these derivative financial instruments designated as net investment hedges, we have designated €4,350 of senior unsecured notes as net investment hedges to selectively hedge portions of our investment in certain international subsidiaries. The currency effects of our Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes are reflected in AOCI within shareholders' equity where they offset gains and losses recorded on our net investment in international subsidiaries.
On June 30, 2021 the total after tax gain (loss) in AOCI related to designated net investment hedges was ($291).

This cash flow hedge reclassification is primarily due to the sale of inventory that includes previously hedged purchases. A component of the AOCI amounts related to net investment hedges is reclassified over the life of the hedge instruments as we elected to exclude the initial value of the component related to the spot-forward difference from the effectiveness assessment.
Interest Rate Hedges
In the six months 2021 a loss of $11 was reclassified from AOCI to earnings relating to the termination of forward starting interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $750 designated as cash flow hedges as we now consider it probable that the original

forecasted debt issuances will not occur. Pretax gains of $5 recorded in AOCI related to other interest rate hedges closed in conjunction with debt issuances are expected to be reclassified to other income (expense) in earnings within 12 months of June 30, 2021. The cash flow effect of interest rate hedges is recorded in cash flow from operations.
NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Our policies for managing risk related to foreign currency, interest rates, credit and markets and our process for determining fair value have not changed from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2020.

On June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the aggregate difference between the cost and fair value of available-for-sale marketable securities was nominal. Interest and marketable securities income was $18 and $25 in the three months and $35 and $65 in the six months 2021 and 2020, which was recorded in other income (expense), net.
Our investments in available-for-sale marketable securities had a minimum credit quality rating of A2 (Moody's), A (Standard & Poor's) and A (Fitch). We do not plan to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.
NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
We are involved in various ongoing proceedings, legal actions and claims arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings related to product, labor, intellectual property and other matters, the most significant of which are more fully described below. The outcomes of these matters will generally
not be known for prolonged periods of time. In certain of the legal proceedings, the claimants seek damages as well as other compensatory and equitable relief that could result in the payment of significant claims and settlements and/or the imposition of injunctions or other equitable relief. For legal matters for which management had sufficient information to reasonably estimate our future obligations, a liability representing management's best estimate of the probable loss, or the minimum of the range of probable losses when a best estimate within the range is not known, is recorded. The estimates are based on consultation with legal counsel, previous settlement experience and settlement strategies. If actual outcomes are less favorable than those estimated by management, additional expense may be incurred, which could unfavorably affect future operating results. We are self-insured for certain claims and expenses. The ultimate cost to us with respect to product liability claims could be materially different than the amount of the current estimates and accruals and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Recall Matters
In June 2012 we voluntarily recalled our Rejuvenate and ABG II Modular-Neck hip stems and terminated global distribution of these hip products. Product liability lawsuits relating to this voluntary recall have been filed against us. In November 2014 we entered into a settlement agreement to compensate eligible United States patients who had revision surgery prior to November 3, 2014 and in December 2016 the settlement program was extended to patients who had revision surgery prior to December 19, 2016. In September 2020 we entered into a second settlement agreement to compensate eligible United States patients who had revision surgery prior to September 9, 2020. We continue to offer support for recall-related care and reimburse patients who are not eligible to enroll in the settlement program for testing and treatment services, including any necessary revision surgeries. In addition, there are remaining lawsuits that we will continue to defend against.
In August 2016 and May 2018 we voluntarily recalled certain lot-specific sizes and offsets of LFIT Anatomic CoCr V40 Femoral Heads. Product liability lawsuits and claims relating to this voluntary recall have been filed against us. In November 2018 we entered into a settlement agreement to resolve a significant number of claims and lawsuits related to the recalls. The specific terms of the settlement agreement, including the financial terms, are confidential.
With the acquisition of Wright as more fully described in Note 7, we are responsible for certain product liability claims, primarily related to certain hip products sold by Wright prior to its 2014 divestiture of the OrthoRecon business. We will continue to evaluate each claim and the possible loss we may incur.
We have incurred, and expect to incur in the future, costs associated with the defense and settlement of these matters. For the six months 2021 we have recorded charges of $82 and made payments of $163, primarily related to Rejuvenate and ABG II Modular-Neck hip stems. Based on the information that has been received, we have estimated the remaining range of probable loss related to recall matters globally to be approximately $415 to $550. We have recorded reserves representing the remaining minimum of the range of probable loss. The final outcomes of these matters are dependent on many factors that are difficult to predict. Accordingly, the ultimate cost related to these matters may be materially different than the amount of our current estimate and accruals and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.
Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.

NOTE 7 - ACQUISITIONS
We acquire stock in companies and various assets that continue to support our capital deployment and product development strategies. The aggregate purchase price of our acquisitions, net of cash acquired was $108 and $26 in the six months 2021 and 2020.
In November 2020 we completed the acquisition of Wright Medical Group N.V. (Wright) for $30.75 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $4.1 billion ($5.6 billion including convertible notes). Wright is a global medical device company focused on extremities and biologics. Wright is part of our Trauma and Extremities business within Orthopaedics.

Substantially all of our debt is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
In March 2021 we repaid $750 of senior unsecured notes with a coupon of 2.625% that were due on March 15, 2021.
In June 2021 we repaid the $400 term loan that was due on November 10, 2023.
NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rates were 10.6% and 4.6% in the three months and 13.1% and 18.5% in the six months 2021 and 2020. The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months was primarily due to pre-tax losses and a change in geographic profit mix recorded in 2020 and certain discrete tax items recorded in 2021. The effective income tax rates for the six months 2021 and 2020 reflect the continued lower effective income tax rates as a result of our European operations.
In March 2021 the American Rescue Plan Act (the Act) was signed into law in the United States. We do not expect the provisions of the Act to have a material impact on our annual effective tax rate or Consolidated Financial Statements in 2021.

NOTE 11 - ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
Impairment charges in the six months 2021 were not significant. In the second quarter of 2020, due to the significant negative impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on our operations and financial results, we suspended certain in-process investments resulting in charges of $189 to impair certain long-lived assets (primarily the portion of our investment in a new global ERP system that was in-process of being developed for future deployment) and product line and other exit costs. These charges were included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses.
NOTE 12 - RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES
The government in China has launched regional and national programs for volume-based procurement ("VBP") of high-value medical consumables to reduce healthcare costs. Each VBP tender has specific requirements to award contracts to the lowest bidders who are able to satisfy the quality and quantity requirements. The successful bidders may experience increases in unit sales volume for certain products, while unsuccessful bidders will lose unit sales volume. While the unit volume increases for successful bidders may enable manufacturers to lower their distribution and commercial costs, we expect that the new prices required for a successful bid will, nevertheless, negatively impact our existing commercial operations of joint replacement and trauma products in China. Based on preliminary indications received subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we believe we will be a successful bidder in certain regional tenders for several of our trauma products and unsuccessful in the bid for other trauma products. When the final decisions are made, it is reasonably possible that we will record an impairment charge of approximately $100 relating to certain long-lived and intangible assets. The national VBP program for hips and knees is currently in preparation. If we are unsuccessful in that national program, we expect that our commercial operations of joint replacement products will also be negatively impacted; however, we do not expect additional intangible asset impairments. Spine products are part of the volume-based procurement in one province and it is not clear to what extent spine products will be included in further VBP initiatives provincial or nationwide. Our business in China represented approximately 2% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ABOUT STRYKER
Stryker is one of the world's leading medical technology companies and, together with our customers, we are driven to make healthcare better. We offer innovative products and services in Orthopaedics, Medical and Surgical, and Neurotechnology and Spine that help improve patient and hospital outcomes.
We segregate our operations into three reportable business segments: Orthopaedics, MedSurg, and Neurotechnology and Spine. Orthopaedics products consist primarily of implants used in hip and knee joint replacements and trauma and extremities surgeries. MedSurg products include surgical equipment and surgical navigation systems (Instruments), endoscopic and communications systems (Endoscopy), patient handling, emergency medical equipment and intensive care disposable products (Medical), reprocessed and remanufactured medical devices (Sustainability) and other medical device products used in a variety of medical specialties. Neurotechnology and Spine products include neurosurgical, neurovascular and spinal implant devices.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 global pandemic has led to severe disruptions in the market and the global and United States economies that may continue for a prolonged duration and trigger a recession or a period of economic slowdown. In response, various governmental authorities and private enterprises have implemented numerous measures to contain the pandemic, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns. A significant number of our global suppliers, vendors, distributors and manufacturing facilities are located in regions that have been affected by the pandemic. Those operations have been materially adversely affected by restrictive government and private enterprise measures implemented in response to the pandemic.
Some of our products are particularly sensitive to reductions in elective medical procedures. Elective medical procedures were suspended in the first quarter of 2020 in many of the markets where our products are marketed and sold, which negatively affected our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations through the first quarter of 2021. In the three months 2021 we saw recovery of elective procedures as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic eased in most geographies. However, the recovery of elective procedures continues to be variable by region and geography. Demand increases for certain capital products continued from the first quarter 2021.
Overview of the Three and Six Months
In the three months 2021 we achieved sales growth of 55.4% and 17.6% from 2020 and 2019. Excluding the impact of acquisitions sales grew 42.9% and 9.3% in constant currency. We reported operating income margin of 17.0%, net earnings of $592 and net earnings per diluted share of $1.55. Excluding the impact of certain items, adjusted operating income margin(1) increased by 1,340 bps to 25.9%, with adjusted net earnings(1) of $861 and adjusted net earnings per diluted share(1) of $2.25 representing growth of 251.6%.
In the six months 2021 we achieved sales growth of 29.8% and 15.1% from 2020 and 2019. Excluding the impact of acquisitions sales grew 19.7% and 7.1% in constant currency. We reported operating income margin of 14.4%, net earnings of $894 and net earnings per diluted share of $2.34. Excluding the impact of certain items, adjusted operating income margin(1) increased by 570 bps to 24.7%, with adjusted net earnings(1) of $1,598 and adjusted net earnings per diluted share(1) of $4.18 representing growth of 68.5%.
Recent Developments
In March 2021 we repaid $750 of our senior unsecured notes with a coupon of 2.625% that were due on March 15, 2021. In June 2021 we repaid the $400 term loan that was due on November 10, 2023. Refer to Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock under our authorized repurchase program in 2021. The total dollar value of shares of our common stock that could be acquired under our authorized share repurchase program was $1,033 as of June 30, 2021. We previously announced our intention to suspend our repurchase program through 2021.

Charges were primarily due to the previously disclosed Rejuvenate and ABG II Modular-Neck hip stems. Refer to Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets was $149 and $110 in the three months and $330 and $228 in the six months 2021 and 2020. The increase in 2021 was primarily due to the acquisition of Wright Medical in the fourth quarter of 2020. Refer to Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net was ($70) and ($67) in the three months and ($162) and ($112) in the six months 2021 and 2020. The increase in net expense in 2021 was primarily due to increased interest expense driven by the additional debt from the bond offerings completed in June 2020 and November 2020.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rates were 10.6% and 4.6% in the three months and 13.1% and 18.5% in the six months 2021 and 2020. The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months was primarily due to pre-tax losses and a change in geographic profit mix recorded in 2020 and certain discrete tax items recorded in 2021. The effective income tax rates for the six months 2021 and 2020 reflect the continued lower effective income tax rates as a result of our European operations.
In March 2021 the American Rescue Plan Act (the Act) was signed into law in the United States. We do not expect the provisions of the Act to have a material impact on our annual effective tax rate or Consolidated Financial Statements in 2021.
Net Earnings (Loss)
Net earnings (loss) increased to $592 or $1.55 per diluted share in the three months 2021 from ($83) or ($0.22) per diluted share in 2020. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share(1) increased to $2.25 in 2021 from $0.64 in 2020, as net earnings in the three months 2020 were significantly negatively impacted by the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of foreign currency exchange rates increased net earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.06 in 2021 and had a minimal impact on net earnings (loss) per diluted share in 2020.
Net earnings increased to $894 or $2.34 per diluted share in the six months 2021 from $410 or $1.08 per diluted share in 2020. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share(1) increased 68.5% to $4.18 in 2021 from $2.48 in 2020. The impact of foreign currency exchange rates increased net earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.12 in 2021 and reduced net earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.02 in 2020.

STRYKER CORPORATION 2021 Second Quarter Form 10-Q
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including percentage sales growth in constant currency; percentage organic sales growth; adjusted gross profit; adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses; adjusted research, development and engineering expenses; adjusted operating income; adjusted other income (expense), net; adjusted effective income tax rate; adjusted net earnings; and adjusted net earnings per diluted share (Diluted EPS). We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and shareholders in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. Management believes percentage sales growth in constant currency and the other adjusted measures described above are important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for reviewing the operating results of reportable business segments and analyzing potential future business trends in connection with our budget process and bases certain management incentive compensation on these non-GAAP financial measures. To measure percentage sales growth in constant currency, we remove the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates that affect the comparability and trend of sales. Percentage sales growth in constant currency is calculated by translating current and prior year results at the same foreign currency exchange rate. To measure percentage organic sales growth, we remove the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions, which affect the comparability and trend of sales. Percentage organic sales growth is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average foreign currency exchange rates excluding the impact of acquisitions. To measure earnings performance on a consistent and comparable basis, we exclude certain items that affect the comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings. These adjustments are irregular in timing and may not be indicative of our past and future performance. The following are examples of the types of adjustments that may be included in a period:
1.Acquisition and integration-related costs. Costs related to integrating recently acquired businesses (e.g., costs associated with the termination of sales relationships, workforce reductions and other integration-related activities)
and specific costs (e.g., inventory step-up and deal costs) related to the consummation of the acquisition process.
2.Amortization of purchased intangible assets. Periodic amortization expense related to purchased intangible assets.
3.Restructuring-related and other charges. Costs associated with the termination of sales relationships in certain countries, workforce reductions, elimination of product lines, certain long-lived asset impairments and associated costs and other restructuring-related activities.
4.Medical Device Regulations. Costs specific to updating our quality system, product labeling, asset write-offs and product remanufacturing to comply with the medical device reporting regulations and other requirements of the European Union and China regulations for medical devices.
5.Recall-related matters. Our best estimate of the minimum of the range of probable loss to resolve the Rejuvenate, LFIT V40 and other product recalls.
6.Regulatory and legal matters. Our best estimate of the minimum of the range of probable loss to resolve certain regulatory matters and other legal settlements.
7.Tax matters. Charges represent the impact of accounting for certain significant and discrete tax items.
Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported sales growth, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, research, development and engineering expenses, operating income, other income (expense), net, effective income tax rate, net earnings and net earnings per diluted share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures at the end of the discussion of Consolidated Results of Operations below. We strongly encourage investors and shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding used in the calculation of non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share are the same as those used in the calculation of reported net earnings per diluted share for the respective period, except for 4.3 million anti-dilutive shares excluded from reported net loss per dilutive share for the three months 2020.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $1,330 and $1,211 in the six months 2021 and 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher net earnings partially offset by changes in working capital accounts related to increased sales and higher recall-related payments.
Investing Activities    
Cash used in investing activities was $298 and $280 in the six months 2021 and 2020. The increase in cash used in 2021 was
primarily due to increased payments for acquisitions partially offset by lower purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities was ($1,729) and $1,288 in the six months 2021 and 2020. Cash used in 2021 was primarily driven by debt repayments of $750 in March 2021 and $400 for the term loan in June 2021. Cash provided in 2020 was driven by the issuance of $2,300 of notes in June 2020 partially offset by debt repayments of $500 in January 2020. We did not repurchase any shares in the six months 2021 or 2020.

There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the three months 2021 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
We issued 3,231 shares of our common stock in the three months 2021 as performance incentive awards to employees. These shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 based on the conclusion that the awards would not be events of sale within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the Act.
In March 2015 we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized us to purchase up to $2,000 of our common stock. The manner, timing and amount of repurchases are determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock price, and other factors and are subject to regulatory considerations. Purchases are made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
In the six months 2021 we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under our authorized repurchase program. The total dollar value of shares of our common stock that could be acquired under our authorized repurchase program was $1,033 as of June 30, 2021. As previously announced we intend to maintain the suspension of our share repurchase program through 2021.
Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to parties subject to sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) within the United States Department of the Treasury, whether or not such activities are prohibited or sanctionable under United States law. On March 2, 2021, the United States government designated the Russian Federal Security Service (the “FSB”) under additional sanctions authorities. On the same day, OFAC issued General License No. 1B (the “OFAC General License”), which generally authorizes certain licensing, permitting, certification, notification and related transactions with the FSB as may be required pursuant to Russian encryption product import controls for the importation, distribution or use of certain information technology products and radio frequency technology products in the Russian Federation.
As required under Russian law and as permitted under the OFAC General License, one of our subsidiaries in Russia periodically files notifications with or applies for import licenses and permits from the FSB on our behalf in connection with the importation of our products into Russia. These notification and licensing activities are free of charge, and none of our gross revenue or net profits are attributable to such activities. We expect to continue to file notifications with and apply for import licenses and permits from the FSB to qualify our products for importation and distribution in the Russian Federation to the extent required under Russian law, but only so long as such notification and licensing activities are authorized by the OFAC General License, any successor general license or other authorization issued by OFAC.

Exhibit 10(i)
STRYKER CORPORATION

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RELATING TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS GRANTED
PURSUANT TO THE 2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

1.    The Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) with respect to Common Stock of Stryker Corporation (the “Company”) granted to you during 2021 are subject to these Terms and Conditions Relating to Restricted Stock Units Granted Pursuant to the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “Terms and Conditions”) and all of the terms and conditions of the Stryker Corporation 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “2011 Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference. In the case of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms of the 2011 Plan, the provisions of the 2011 Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning provided therefor in the 2011 Plan, and "Stock Plan Administrator" means UBS Financial Services Inc. (or any other independent service provider engaged by the Company to assist with the implementation, operation and administration of the 2011 Plan).

2.    Your right to receive the Shares issuable pursuant to the RSUs shall be only as follows:

(a)    If you continue to be a Director, you will receive the Shares underlying the RSUs that have become vested as soon as administratively possible following the vesting date as set forth in the award letter.

(b)     If you cease to be a Director by reason of Disability (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan) or death prior to the date that your RSUs become fully vested, you or your estate will become fully vested in your RSUs, and you, your legal representative or your estate will receive all of the underlying Shares as soon as administratively practicable following your termination by Disability or death.

(c)    If you cease to be a Director by reason of Retirement (as such term is defined in the 2011 Plan) prior to the date that your RSUs become fully vested, you (or your estate in the event of your death after your termination by Retirement) will continue to vest in your RSUs in accordance with the vesting schedule as set forth in the award letter as if you had continued your service as a Director.
    
(d)    If you cease to be a Director prior to the date that your RSUs become fully vested for any reason other than those provided in (b) or (c) above, you shall cease vesting in your RSUs effective as of your Termination Date, which shall be the last day of your active service as a Director.
Page 1



(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle your RSUs in the form of: (i) a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares (1) is prohibited under local law, (2) would require you or the Company to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in your country of residence or (3) is administratively burdensome; or (ii) Shares, but require you to immediately sell such Shares (in which case, the Company shall have the authority to issue sales instructions in relation to such Shares on your behalf).

(f)    You may elect to defer delivery of the Shares that are otherwise issuable upon the vesting date by completing a prescribed deferral election form and returning it to the Company according to the instructions on such deferral election form. The deferral election form will be distributed to you separately. If made, the deferral election shall be irrevocable. You generally shall receive your Shares at such time(s) specified in the deferral election form.

3.    The number of Shares subject to the RSUs shall be subject to adjustment and the vesting dates hereof may be accelerated as follows:

(a)    In the event that the Shares, as presently constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, combination of shares, or otherwise) or if the number of such Shares shall be increased through the payment of a stock dividend or a dividend on the Shares of rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company shall be made, then there shall be substituted for or added to each Share theretofore subject to the RSUs the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding Share shall be so changed, or for which each such Share shall be exchanged, or to which each such Share shall be entitled. The other terms of the RSUs shall also be appropriately amended as may be necessary to reflect the foregoing events. In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding Shares, or of any stock or other securities into which such Shares shall have been exchanged, then if the Board of Directors shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the RSUs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.

(b)    Fractional Shares resulting from any adjustment in the RSUs may be settled in cash or otherwise as the Board of Directors shall determine, in its sole discretion. Notice of any adjustment will be given to you and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes hereof.

(c)    The Board of Directors shall have the power to amend the RSUs to permit the immediate vesting of the RSUs (and to terminate any unvested RSUs) and the distribution of the underlying Shares prior to the effectiveness of (i) any disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) the shutdown, discontinuance of
Page 2


operations or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other unrelated corporation.

4.    If you are resident outside of the United States, you agree, as a condition of the grant of the RSUs, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the 2011 Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs) required by and in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence. In addition, you also agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence. Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence.

5.    If you are resident in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the RSUs and these Terms and Conditions are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”). To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms and Conditions is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

6.    Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including the grant of the RSUs, the vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if you become subject to taxation in more than one country between the grant date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one country.

Prior to any taxable event (or such later date(s) as specified in a valid deferral election form), if your country of residence (and/or the country services as a director occur, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company shall withhold a number of whole Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value that the Company, taking into account local requirements and administrative issues, determines in its sole discretion is appropriate to cover withholding for Tax-Related Items with respect to the
Page 3


Shares. The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items. In cases where the Fair Market Value of the number of whole Shares withheld is greater than the amount required to be paid to the relevant government authorities with respect to withholding for Tax-Related Items, the Company shall make a cash payment to you equal to the difference as soon as administratively practicable. In the event that withholding in Shares is prohibited or problematic under applicable law or otherwise may trigger adverse consequences to the Company, the Company shall withhold the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares in cash from your director fees or other amounts payable to you. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares or through your director fees or other amounts payable to you by the Company, no Shares will be issued to you (or your estate) unless and until satisfactory arrangements have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, should be withheld or collected with respect to such RSUs. By accepting these RSUs, you expressly consent to the withholding of Shares and/or withholding from your director fees or other amounts payable to you as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the RSUs and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are your sole responsibility.
    
7.    The RSUs are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The 2011 Plan and these Terms and Conditions shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that these Terms and Conditions are subject to Code Section 409A and that it has failed to comply with the requirements of that Section, the Company may, at the Company’s sole discretion, and without your consent, amend these Terms and Conditions to cause them to comply with Code Section 409A or be exempt from Code Section 409A.
    
8.    The RSUs shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If you purport to make any transfer of the RSUs, except as aforesaid, the RSUs and all rights thereunder shall terminate immediately.

9.    The RSUs shall not be vested in whole or in part, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares subject to the RSUs, if such issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. statute having similar requirements as it may be in effect at the time. The RSUs are subject to the further requirement that, if at any time the Board of Directors shall determine in its discretion that the listing or qualification of the Shares subject to the RSUs under any securities exchange requirements or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the issuance of Shares pursuant to the RSUs, the RSUs may not be vested in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board of Directors.

10.    The grant of the RSUs shall not confer upon you any right to serve as a Director of the Company nor limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate your
Page 4


service as a Director at any time. You shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the vesting of the RSUs until the date of issuance of such Shares.

11.     You acknowledge and agree that the 2011 Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of the RSUs under the 2011 Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of RSUs or any other award under the 2011 Plan or other benefits in lieu thereof in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of any grant, the number of Shares subject to the grant, and the vesting provisions. Any amendment, modification or termination of the 2011 Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your service as a Director of the Company.

12.    These Terms and Conditions shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and you and your estate in the event of your death.
    
13.    The Company is located at 2825 Airview Boulevard Kalamazoo, Michigan 49002, U.S.A. and grants RSUs under the 2011 Plan to employees and directors of the Company and Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company’s grant of the RSUs under the 2011 Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices (“Personal Data Activities”). In accepting the grant of the RSUs, you expressly and explicitly consent to the Personal Data Activities as described herein.

(a)    The Company collects, processes and uses your personal data, including your name, home address, email address, and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, citizenship, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all RSUs or any other equity compensation awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you. In granting the RSUs under the Plan, the Company will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the 2011 Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the collection, processing and usage of your personal data is your consent.

(b)    The Company transfers your personal data to the Stock Plan Administrator. In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share your personal data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for you, if an account is not already in place, to receive and trade Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the 2011 Plan.

Page 5


(c)    The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. You should note that your country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is your consent.

(d)    Your participation in the 2011 Plan and your grant of consent is purely voluntary. You may deny or withdraw your consent at any time. If you do not consent, or if you withdraw your consent, you may be unable to participate in the 2011 Plan. This would not affect your existing directorship or your annual cash retainer; instead, you merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the 2011 Plan.

You may have a number of rights under the data privacy laws in your country of residence. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country or residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of your personal data. To receive clarification regarding your rights or to exercise your rights, you should contact the Company’s Human Resources Department.

14.    The grant of the RSUs is not intended to be a public offering of securities in your country of residence. The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing(s) with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law). No employee of the Company is permitted to advise you on whether you should acquire Shares under the 2011 Plan or provide you with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the RSUs. The acquisition of Shares involves certain risks, and you should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the 2011 Plan or the disposition of them. Further, you should carefully review all of the materials related to the RSUs and the 2011 Plan, and you should consult with your personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to your personal circumstances.

15.    All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of the RSUs and the 2011 Plan shall be governed and construed according to the laws of the state of Michigan, without regard to the application of the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any disputes regarding the RSUs or the 2011 Plan shall be brought only in the state or federal courts of the state of Michigan.

16.    The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the RSUs or other awards granted to you under the 2011 Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the 2011 Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

Page 6


17.    The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the 2011 Plan or these Terms and Conditions shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the 2011 Plan or these Terms and Conditions.

18.    If you are resident outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that it is your express intent that these Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the RSUs be drawn up in English. If you have received these Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan or any other documents related to the RSUs translated into a language other than English and the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

19.    Notwithstanding any provisions of these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, the RSUs shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country of residence set forth in an addendum to these Terms and Conditions (an “Addendum”). Further, if you transfer your residence to another country reflected in an Addendum to these Terms and Conditions at the time of transfer, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such special terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the award and the 2011 Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate your transfer). In all circumstances, any applicable Addendum shall constitute part of these Terms and Conditions.
    
20.    The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the RSUs, any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs, and your participation in the 2011 Plan to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the award and the 2011 Plan. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring you to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

PURSUANT TO THE 2011 PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED

In addition to the terms of the 2011 Plan and the Terms and Conditions, the RSUs are subject to the following additional terms and conditions (the “Addendum”). All capitalized terms as contained in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as set forth in the 2011 Plan and the Terms and Conditions. Pursuant to Section 20 of the Terms and Conditions, if you transfer your residence and/or employment to another country reflected in an Addendum at the time of transfer, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations, or to facilitate the operation and administration of the award and the 2011 Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate your transfer).

Data Privacy Information: European Union (“EU”) / European Economic Area (“EEA”) / Switzerland and the United Kingdom*

*The below information is for data privacy purposes only and you should determine whether any other special terms and conditions apply to your awards in these jurisdictions.

1.    Data Privacy. If you reside and/or you work in the EU / EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom the following provision replaces Section 14 of the Terms and Conditions:

The Company is located at 2825 Airview Boulevard Kalamazoo, Michigan 49002, U.S.A. and grants RSUs under the 2011 Plan to employees and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries in its sole discretion. You should review the following information about the Company’s data processing practices.

(a)    Data Collection, Processing and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, you are hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses certain personally-identifiable information about you for the legitimate interest of implementing, administering and managing the 2011 Plan and generally administering equity awards; specifically, including your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, citizenship, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all options or any other awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you. In granting the RSUs under the 2011 Plan, the
Page 8


Company will collect your personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the 2011 Plan. The Company’s collection, processing, use and transfer of your personal data is necessary for the performance of the Company’s contractual obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing and generally administering equity awards. Your refusal to provide personal data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect your ability to participate in the 2011 Plan. As such, by participating in the 2011 Plan, you voluntarily acknowledge the collection, processing and use of your personal data as described herein.

(b)    Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company transfers participant data to the Stock Plan Administrator. In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share your data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for you, if an account is not already in place, to receive and trade Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan. You will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition to your ability to participate in the 2011 Plan.

(c)    International Data Transfers. The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States. The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to you if your personal data is transferred to the United States. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of your personal data to the United States is to satisfy its contractual obligations to you and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.

(d)    Data Retention. The Company will use your personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the 2011 Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws. When the Company no longer needs your personal data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps your data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.

(e)    Data Subject Rights. You may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in your country of residence. For example, your rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect data, (iii) request deletion of data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in your country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding your rights or to exercise your rights, you should contact the Company’s Human Resources Department.

If you are a People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) national, the grant of the RSUs is conditioned upon the Company securing all necessary approvals from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange to permit the operation of the 2011 Plan and the participation of PRC nationals, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

2.    Sale of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 2011 Plan, upon any termination of your relationship with the Company, you shall be required to sell all Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan within such time period as may be established by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

3.    Exchange Control Restrictions. You acknowledge and agree that you will be required immediately to repatriate to the PRC the proceeds from the sale of any Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan, as well as any other cash amounts attributable to the Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”). Further, you acknowledge and agree that the repatriation of the Cash Proceeds must be effected
Page 12


through a special bank account established by the local company, the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, and you hereby consent and agree that the Cash Proceeds may be transferred to such account by the Company on your behalf prior to being delivered to you. The Cash Proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the Cash Proceeds are paid to you in U.S. dollars, you understand that a U.S. dollar bank account must be established and maintained in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into such account. If the Cash Proceeds are paid to you in local currency, you acknowledge and agree that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the Cash Proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. You agree to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the Cash Proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to you. You further agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the local company, the Company and its Subsidiaries in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in the PRC.

COLOMBIA

1.    Securities Law Information. The Shares subject to the RSUs are not and will not be registered in the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the Shares may not be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in this document should be construed as the making of a public offer of securities in Colombia.

COSTA RICA

No country specific provisions.

DENMARK

1.    Treatment of RSUs upon Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms and Conditions or the 2011 Plan to the contrary, unless you are a member of registered management who is not considered a salaried employee, the treatment of the RSUs upon a termination of employment which is not a result of death shall be governed by Sections 4 and 5 of the Danish Act on Stock Option in Employment Relations. However, if the provisions in the Terms and Conditions or the Plan governing the treatment of the RSUs upon a termination of employment are more favorable, then the provisions of the Terms and Conditions or the 2011 Plan will govern.

FINLAND

1.    Withholding of Tax-Related Items. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6 of the Terms and Conditions to the contrary, if you are a local national of Finland, any Tax-Related Items shall be withheld only in cash or other amounts payable to you in cash or such other withholding methods as may be permitted under the 2011 Plan and allowed under local law.

HONG KONG

1.    Important Notice. Warning: The contents of the Terms and Conditions, this Addendum, the 2011 Plan, and all other materials pertaining to the RSUs and/or the 2011 Plan have not been reviewed by any regulatory authority in Hong Kong. You are hereby advised to exercise caution in relation to the offer thereunder. If you have any doubts about any of the contents of the aforesaid materials, you should obtain independent professional advice.
Page 14



2.    Lapse of Restrictions. If, for any reason, Shares are issued to you within six (6) months of the grant date, you agree that you will not sell or otherwise dispose of any such Shares prior to the six-month anniversary of the grant date.

3.    Settlement in Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Addendum, the Terms and Conditions or the 2011 Plan, the RSUs shall be settled only in Shares (and may not be settled in cash).

4.    Nature of the Plan. The Company specifically intends that the 2011 Plan will not be treated as an occupational retirement scheme for purposes of the Occupational Retirement Schemes Ordinance (“ORSO”). To the extent any court, tribunal or legal/regulatory body in Hong Kong determines that the 2011 Plan constitutes an occupational retirement scheme for the purposes of ORSO, the grant of the RSUs shall be null and void.

INDIA

NETHERLANDS

1.    Waiver of Termination Rights. As a condition to the grant of the RSUs, you hereby waive any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of your relationship with the Company and the local company for any reason whatsoever, insofar as those rights result or may result from (a) the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements under the 2011 Plan, or (b) you ceasing to have rights under or ceasing to be entitled to any awards under the 2011 Plan as a result of such termination.

2.    Tax Deferral Upon Retirement. Unless you otherwise elect by contacting Stryker no later than April 30, 2021, you hereby agree that upon Retirement eligibility, the RSUs shall not become taxable until the date of settlement when Shares are actually delivered or otherwise made available.

NEW ZEALAND

1.    WARNING. You are being offered RSUs to be settled in the form of shares of Stryker Corporation common stock. If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you may lose some or all your investment. New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This requires those offering financial products to have disclosed information that is important for investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is an offer made under the Employee Share Scheme exemption. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. You should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before accepting the offer. The Company’s Shares are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SYK” and Shares acquired under the 2011 Plan may be sold through this exchange. You may end up selling the Shares at a price that is lower than the value of the Shares when you acquired them. The price will depend on the demand for the Company's Shares. The Company’s most recent annual report (which includes the Company’s financial statements) is available at [http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=118965&p=irol-irhome]. You are entitled to receive a copy of this report, free of charge, upon written request to the Company at STOCKPLANADMINISTRATION@STRYKER.COM.

RUSSIA

1.    IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION. If you are a citizen of the Russian Federation, any cash proceeds derived from the 2011 Plan (including any dividend equivalents payable in cash but excluding cash dividends) must be remitted directly to a personal bank account opened with an authorized bank in the Russian Federation (an “Authorized Russian Account”). Thereafter, you may, in your sole discretion, personally transfer such amounts from your Authorized Russian Account to a bank account legally established outside of the Russian Federation with a non-Russian bank located in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development or the Financial Action Task Force countries (an “Authorized Foreign Account”). Cash dividends (but not dividend equivalents payable in cash) can be remitted directly to an Authorized Foreign Account. However, you are required to notify the Russian tax authorities within one month of opening or closing an Authorized Foreign Account or changing the account details. You also are required to file quarterly reports of any transactions involving any Authorized Foreign Account you hold with the Russian tax authorities.

2.    SECURITIES LAW NOTIFICATION. The grant of RSUs and the issuance of Shares upon vesting are not intended to be an offering of securities with the Russian Federation, and the Terms and Conditions, the 2011 Plan, this Addendum and all other materials that you receive in connection with the grant of RSUs and your participation in the 2011 Plan (collectively, “Grant Materials”) do not constitute advertising or a solicitation within the Russian Federation. In connection with your grant of RSUs, the Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the Russian Federal Bank or any other governmental or regulatory body within the Russian Federation, and the Grant Materials expressly may not be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of making a securities offering or public circulation of Shares within the Russian Federation.

3.    EXCHANGE CONTROL NOTIFICATION. You are solely responsible for complying with applicable Russian exchange control regulations. Since the exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of Shares under the 2011 Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations. As noted, it is your personal responsibility to comply with Russian exchange control laws, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.
Page 17


4.    ANTI-CORRUPTION NOTIFICATION. Anti-corruption laws prohibit certain public servants, their spouses and their dependent children from owning any foreign source financial instruments (e.g., shares of foreign companies such as the Company). Accordingly, you should inform the Company if you are covered by these laws as this relates to your acquisition of Shares under the 2011 Plan.

SINGAPORE

1.    Qualifying Person Exemption. The following provision shall replace Section 15 of the Terms and Conditions:

The grant of the RSUs under the 2011 Plan is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption” under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2011 Ed.) (“SFA”). The 2011 Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. You should note that, as a result, the RSUs are subject to section 257 of the SFA and you will not be able to make (a) any subsequent sale of the Shares in Singapore or (ii) any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares subject to the RSUs in Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA (Chapter 289, 2011 Ed.).

2.    Director Reporting Notification. If you are a director, associate director or shadow director of a Singapore company, you are subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act. Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Singapore company in writing when you receive an interest (e.g., RSUs or Shares) in the Company or any related company. In addition, you must notify the Singapore company when you sell Shares (including when you sell Shares acquired at vesting of the Restricted Stock Units). These notifications must be made within two business days of acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Company or any related company. In addition, a notification must be made of Participant’s interests in the Company or any related company within two business days of becoming the a director.

SOUTH AFRICA

1.    Exchange Control Obligations. You are solely responsible for complying with applicable exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa. As the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of Shares under the 2011 Plan to ensure compliance with current Exchange Control Regulations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws.

2.    Securities Law Information and Deemed Acceptance of RSUs.  Neither the RSUs nor the underlying Shares shall be publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in South Africa.  The offer is intended to be private pursuant to Section 96 of the Companies Act and is not subject to the supervision of any South African
Page 18


governmental authority. Pursuant to Section 96 of the Companies Act, the RSU offer must be finalized on or before the 60th day following the grant date.  If you do not want to accept the RSUs, you are required to decline the RSUs no later than the 60th day following the grant date.  If you do not reject the RSUs on or before the 60th day following the grant date, you will be deemed to accept the RSUs.

No country specific provisions.

The Shares are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which is located outside of Turkey, under the ticker symbol “SYK” and the Shares may be sold through this exchange.

2.    Financial Intermediary Obligation. You acknowledge that any activity related to investments in foreign securities (e.g., the sale of Shares) should be conducted through a bank or financial intermediary institution licensed by the Turkey Capital Markets Board and should be reported to the Turkish Capital Markets Board.
Page 19


You solely are responsible for complying with this requirement and should consult with a personal legal advisor for further information regarding any obligations in this respect.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

1.    Securities Law Information. The offer of the RSUs is available only for select Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and is in the nature of providing incentives in the United Arab Emirates. The 2011 Plan and the Terms and Conditions are intended for distribution only to such individuals and must not be delivered to, or relied on by any other person. Prospective purchasers of securities should conduct their own due diligence.
The Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority has no responsibility for reviewing or verifying any documents in connection with this statement, including the 2011 Plan and the Terms and Conditions, or any other incidental communication materials distributed in connection with the RSUs. Further, neither the Ministry of Economy nor the Dubai Department of Economic Development has approved this statement nor taken steps to verify the information set out in it, and has no responsibility for it. Residents of the United Arab Emirates who have any questions regarding the contents of the 2011 Plan and the Terms and Conditions should obtain independent advice.

You also agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and/or the local company against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC on your behalf (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).
2.    Exclusion of Claim. You acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of your service with the Company and the local company for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract, insofar as any purported claim to such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to vest in the RSUs as a result of such termination of service (whether the termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the RSUs. Upon the grant of the RSUs, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.
