Grant Date: 
Performance Period:   Fiscal Years -  2020 - 2022 (the "Performance Period")
Shares Granted: 
Acceptance Date: 
Electronic Signature: 
This document (referred to below as this "Agreement") spells out the terms and conditions of the Performance Share Award (the "Award") granted to you by Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to the Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan") on and as of the Grant Date designated above.  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the respective meanings set forth in the Plan.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Employer" means the entity (the Company or the Affiliate) that employs you on the applicable date.  The Plan as it may be amended from time to time, is incorporated into this Agreement by this reference.
You and the Company agree as follows: 
1.Grant of Performance Shares.  Pursuant to the approval and direction of the Compensation and Leadership Performance Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee"), the Company hereby grants you the target number of Performance Shares specified above (the "Performance Shares"), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.  This "target" number of shares is computed by dividing a target award dollar amount approved for you by the Committee by the average closing stock price of the Company's common stock, par value US$.01 per share ("Stock") for the last 30 trading days of the fiscal year preceding the Grant Date.  


2.Performance Measure. The number of Performance Shares earned at the end of the three-year Performance Period will vary depending on the degree to which cumulative adjusted earnings per share performance goals for the Performance Period, as established by the Committee, are met.  


3.Determination of Performance Shares Earned.  At the target levels, 100% of the Performance Shares will be earned.  At the threshold levels, 50% of the Performance Shares will be earned.  Below the threshold levels of performance, no Performance Shares are earned.  At the maximum levels or more, 150% of the Performance Shares will be earned.  Performance between minimum and target, and between target and maximum, will earn Performance Shares on a pro-rated basis between 50% and 100%, and 100% and 150%, respectively.
The amount earned will be calculated according to the following:

4.Disability or Death.  If during the Performance Period you have a Termination of Service by reason of Disability or death, then the number of Performance Shares earned (based on performance as of the end of the Performance Period) shall become vested at the end of the Performance Period.  Any Performance Shares becoming vested by reason of your Termination of Service by reason of Disability or death shall be paid at the same time Performance Shares are paid to other Participants. 


5.Retirement.  If prior to the 12-month anniversary of the Grant Date you have a Termination of Service by reason of retirement from the Company's Board of Directors, as reasonably determined and approved by the Committee, then, subject to such approval, the number of Performance Shares earned (based on performance as of the end of the Performance Period) will be prorated to reflect the portion of the Performance Period during which you remained employed by the Company.  Such prorated portion shall equal the number of Performance Shares that you would otherwise have earned, multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of full months of the Performance Period completed as of your Termination of Service, divided by the number of months in the Performance Period. If on or after the 12-month anniversary of the Grant Date, you have a Termination of Service by reason of retirement from the Company's Board of Directors, as reasonably determined and approved by the Committee, then, subject to such approval, the full number of Performance Shares earned (based on performance as of the end of the Performance Period) shall become vested at the end of the Performance Period.  Any Performance Shares becoming vested by reason of your retirement shall be paid at the same time Performance Shares are paid to other Participants.


6.Termination of Service Following a Change in Control.  If during the Performance Period there is a Change in Control of the Company and within the one-year period thereafter you have a Termination of Service initiated by your Employer other than for Cause (as defined in Section 7), then your earned Award shall equal your target number of Performance Shares, prorated to reflect the portion of the Performance Period during which you remained employed by the Company.  Such prorated portion shall equal your target number of Performance Shares, multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of full months of the Performance Period completed as of your Termination of Service, divided by the number of months in the Performance Period.  This prorated award will be settled in cash (subject to required tax withholdings) in accordance with Section 9.01(b) of the Plan within 45 days after your Termination of Service.  For purposes of this Section 6, a Termination of Service initiated by your Employer shall include a Termination of Employment for Good Reason under - and pursuant to the terms and conditions of - the Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan, but only to the extent applicable to you as an eligible participant in such Plan.


7.Other Termination of Service. If during the Performance Period you have a voluntary or involuntary Termination of Service for any reason other than as set forth in Section 4, 5 or 6 above, as determined by the Committee, then all of your Performance Shares shall be forfeited.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means any one or more of the following, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion:


(a)    your commission of a felony or any crime of moral turpitude; 
(b)    your dishonesty or material violation of standards of integrity in the course of fulfilling your duties to the Company or any Affiliate; 
(c)    your material violation of a material written policy of the Company or any Affiliate violation of which is grounds for immediate termination; 






(OGPERF2020)





(d)    your willful and deliberate failure to perform your duties to the Company or any Affiliate in any material respect, after reasonable notice of such failure and an opportunity to correct it; or 
(e)    your failure to comply in any material respect with the United States ("U.S.") Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and the U.S. Truth in Negotiations Act, or any rules or regulations thereunder.
8.Settlement of Earned Performance Shares. At the end of the Performance Period actual performance for the entire Performance Period shall be reviewed, and the amount of the earned Award shall be determined based on this performance and communicated to you.  Subject to the requirements of Section 12 below, the Company shall transfer to you one (1) share of Stock for each Performance Share earned at that time, net of any applicable tax withholding requirements in accordance with Section 9 below. The Performance Shares payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A under the exemption for short-term deferrals.  Accordingly, the Performance Shares will be settled in shares of Stock no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the fiscal year of the Company (or if later, the calendar year) in which the Performance Shares are earned. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are resident or employed outside of the U.S., the Company, in its sole discretion, may provide for the settlement of the Performance Shares in the form of:
(a)     a cash payment (in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock that corresponds with the number of earned Performance Shares) to the extent that settlement in shares of Stock (i) is prohibited under local law, (ii) would require you, the Company or an Affiliate to obtain the approval of any governmental or regulatory body in your country of residence (or country of employment, if different), (iii) would result in adverse tax consequences for you, the Company or an Affiliate or (iv) is administratively burdensome; or 
(b)     shares of Stock, but require you to sell such shares of Stock immediately or within a specified period following your Termination of Service (in which case, you hereby agree that the Company shall have the authority to issue sale instructions in relation to such shares of Stock on your behalf).
9.Responsibility for Taxes; Tax Withholding.  


(a)    You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or any Affiliate, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you ("Tax-Related Items"), is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any Affiliates, if any.  You further acknowledge that the Company and/or any Affiliate (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company and/or any Affiliate may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)    Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or any Affiliate to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, except as provided below, the Company, your Employer or its agent shall satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding from the shares of Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Award that number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required by law to be withheld. For purposes of the foregoing, no fractional shares of Stock will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of the Performance Shares and the issuance of shares of Stock hereunder. 






(OGPERF2020)





Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act at the time of any applicable tax withholding event, you may make a cash payment to the Company, your Employer or its agent to cover the Tax-Related Items that the Company or any Affiliate may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan. If you are not a Section 16 officer of the Company at the time of any applicable tax withholding event, the Company and/or any Affiliate may (in its sole discretion) allow you to make a cash payment to the Company, your Employer or its agent to cover such Tax-Related Items.
The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates (as determined by the Company in good faith and in its sole discretion) or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the share equivalent.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding from the shares of Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Award, for tax purposes, you will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the earned Award, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.


The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Stock (or cash payment) or the proceeds from the sale of shares of Stock if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.


10.Nontransferability.  During the Performance Period and thereafter until shares of Stock are transferred to you in settlement thereof, you may not sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise alienate or hypothecate the Performance Shares, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, other than by beneficiary designation effective upon your death, or by will or by the laws of intestacy. 


11.Rights as Shareholder.  You shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Performance Shares until such time as a certificate of stock for the shares of Stock issued in settlement of the Performance Shares has been issued to you or such shares of Stock have been recorded in your name in book entry form.  Except as provided in Section 17 below, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights with respect to such shares of Stock for which the record date is prior to the date on which you become the holder of record thereof.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if a law or any regulation of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other body having jurisdiction shall require the Company or you to take any action before shares of Stock can be delivered to you hereunder, then the date of delivery of such shares may be delayed accordingly.


12.Securities Laws. If a Registration Statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is not in effect with respect to the shares of Stock to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, you hereby represent that you are acquiring the shares of Stock for investment and with no present intention of selling or transferring them and that you will not sell or otherwise transfer the shares of Stock except in compliance with all applicable securities laws and requirements of any stock exchange on which the shares of Stock may then be listed.


13.Not a Public Offering.  If you are resident outside the U.S., the grant of the Performance Shares is not intended to be a public offering of securities in your country of residence (or country of employment, if different).  The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the grant of the Performance Shares is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.


14.Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws.  By participating in the Plan, you agree to comply with the Company's policy on insider trading, to the extent that it is applicable to you. You further acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker's country of residence or where the shares of Stock are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws that may affect your ability to accept,

If you are resident or employed outside the U.S., you agree to repatriate all payments attributable to the shares of Stock and/or cash acquired under the Plan in accordance with applicable foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different).  In addition, you agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Affiliates, as may be required to allow the Company and its Affiliates to comply with local laws, rules and/or regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different).  Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal obligations under local laws, rules and/or regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different).


16.No Advice Regarding Grant.  No employee of the Company is permitted to advise you regarding your participation in the Plan or your acquisition or sale of the shares of Stock underlying the Performance Shares.  You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors before taking any action related to the Plan.


17.Change in Stock.  In the event of any change in the shares of Stock, by reason of any stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, split-up, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, or of any similar change affecting the shares of Stock, the number of the Performance Shares subject to this Award Agreement shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee.

WALGREENS BOOTS ALLIANCE, INC. 2013 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
In addition to the terms of the Plan and the Agreement, the Award is subject to the following additional terms and conditions to the extent you reside and/or are employed in one of the countries addressed herein.  Pursuant to Section 21 of the Agreement, if you transfer your residence and/or employment to another country reflected in this Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country (if any) 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 laws, rules and/or regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Performance Shares and the Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate your transfer).  All defined terms contained in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan and the Agreement.  
EUROPEAN UNION ("EU") / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA ("EEA")


Personal Data.  The following provision replaces Section 20 of the Agreement in its entirety:
The Company, with its registered address at 108 Wilmot Road, Deerfield, Illinois 60015, U.S.A. is the controller responsible for the processing of your personal data by the Company and the third parties noted below.


(a)Data Collection and Usage. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, you are hereby notified that the Company collects, processes and uses certain personal information about you for the legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and generally administering awards; specifically: your name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Performance Shares, any entitlement to shares of Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in your favor, which the Company receives from you or the Employer ("Personal Data"). In granting the Performance Shares under the Plan, the Company will collect, process, use, disclose and transfer (collectively, "Processing") Personal Data for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company's legal basis for the Processing of Personal Data is the Company's legitimate business interests of managing the Plan, administering employee awards and complying with its contractual and statutory obligations, as well as the necessity of the Processing for the Company to perform its contractual obligations under the Agreement and the Plan. 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 Plan. As such, by accepting the Performance Shares, you voluntarily acknowledge the Processing of your Personal Data as described herein. 


(b)Stock Plan Administration Service Provider. The Company may transfer Personal Data to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC ("Fidelity"), an independent service provider based, in relevant part, in the United States, which may assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Personal Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company's service provider will open an account for you to receive and trade shares of Stock pursuant to the Performance Shares. The Processing of Personal Data will take place through both electronic and non-electronic means. Personal Data will only be accessible by those individuals requiring access to it for purposes of implementing, administering and operating the Plan. When receiving your Personal Data, if applicable, Fidelity provides appropriate safeguards in accordance with the EU 






(OGPERF2020)





Standard Contractual Clauses or other appropriate cross-border transfer solutions.  By participating in the Plan, you understand that the service provider will Process your Personal Data for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  


(c)International Data Transfers. The Company is based in the United States, which means it will be necessary for Personal Data to be transferred to, and Processed in the United States.  When transferring your Personal Data to the United States, the Company provides appropriate safeguards in accordance with the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, and other appropriate cross-border transfer solutions.  You may request a copy of the appropriate safeguards with Fidelity or the Company by contacting your Human Resources manager or the Company's Human Resources Department.


(d)Data Retention. The Company will use Personal Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs Personal Data related to the Plan, the Company will remove it from its systems.

MEXICO


1.Commercial Relationship.  You expressly recognize that your participation in the Plan and the Company's grant of the Performance Shares does not constitute an employment relationship between you and the Company.  You have been granted the Performance Shares as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Affiliate in Mexico that employs you ("WBA Mexico"), and WBA Mexico is your sole employer.  Based on the foregoing, you expressly recognize that (a) the Plan and the benefits you may derive from your participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between you and WBA Mexico, (b) the Plan and the benefits you may derive from your participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by WBA Mexico, and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Plan by the Company, or a termination of the Plan by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of your employment with WBA Mexico.


2.Extraordinary Item of Compensation.  You expressly recognize and acknowledge that your participation in the Plan is a result of the discretionary and unilateral decision of the Company, as well as your free and voluntary decision to participate in the Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Agreement and this Addendum.  As such, you acknowledge and agree that the Company, in its sole discretion, may amend and/or discontinue your participation in the Plan at any time and without any liability.  The Award, the shares of Stock subject to the Award and the income and value of the same is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of your employment contract, if any, and is not part of your regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of WBA Mexico.

SPAIN


1.Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights. This provision supplements the terms of the Agreement:


In accepting the Award, you acknowledge that you consent to participation in the Plan and have received a copy of the Plan.


You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Performance Shares under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Affiliates throughout the world.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis.  Consequently, you understand that the Performance Shares are granted on the assumption and condition that the Performance Shares and the shares of Stock acquired upon settlement of the Performance Shares shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  In addition, you understand that this grant would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the Award shall be null and void.


Further, you understand and agree that the earning of the Performance Shares is expressly conditioned on your continued and active rendering of service, such that upon a Termination of 






(OGPERF2020)





Service, the Performance Shares may be forfeited effective on the date of your Termination of Service (unless otherwise specifically provided in Section 4, 5 or 6 of the Agreement).  This will be the case, for example, even if (a) you are considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (b) you are dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (c) you terminate service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition, (d) you terminate service due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or an Affiliate.  Consequently, upon a Termination of Service for any of the above reasons, you may automatically lose any rights to the Performance Shares as of the date of your Termination of Service, as described in the Plan and Agreement.  


You acknowledge that you have read and specifically accept the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a Termination of Service on your Award.


2.Termination for Cause.  "Cause" shall be defined as indicated in Section 7 of the Agreement, irrespective of whether the termination is or is not considered a fair termination (i.e., "despido procedente") under Spanish legislation.


3.No Public Offering.  No "offer of securities to the public," within the meaning of Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the Performance Shares.  The Plan, the Agreement (including this Addendum) and any other documents evidencing the grant of the Performance Shares have not, nor will they be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (the Spanish securities regulator) and none of those documents constitute a public offering prospectus. 


SWITZERLAND


Securities Law Notification.  The Performance Shares are not considered a public offering in Switzerland; therefore, the offer of Performance Shares is not subject to registration in Switzerland.

Neither this document nor any other offering or marketing materials relating to the Performance Shares have been or will be filed with, or approved or supervised by, any Swiss regulatory authority (in particular, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)).


TURKEY

UNITED KINGDOM


1.    Indemnification for Tax-Related Items. Without limitation to Section 9 of the Agreement, you hereby agree that you are liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Company, your Employer or by Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).  You also hereby agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and your Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on your behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that you are a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by you within 90 days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. You acknowledge that you ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or your Employer (as applicable) for the value of any employee national 






(OGPERF2020)





insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company and/or your Employer may recover from you at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 10 of the Agreement.


2.    Exclusion of Claim.  You acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Performance Shares, whether or not as a result of your Termination of Service (whether such termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Performance Shares.  Upon the grant of the Performance Shares, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.
