MOLSON COORS BEVERAGE COMPANY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
Molson Coors Beverage Company (the “Company”) has granted to you an Award consisting of restricted stock units, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Director Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice (the “Award Notice”). The Award has been granted to you pursuant to the Amended and Restated Molson Coors Beverage Company Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The decisions and interpretations of the Committee are binding, conclusive and final upon any questions arising under the Award Notice, this [YEAR] Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) or the Plan.

1.Grant of RSUs. On the Grant Date, you were awarded, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the number of RSUs set forth in the Award Notice, subject to adjustment by the Committee as provided in Section 4.4 of the Plan.  
2.Vesting of RSUs. The RSUs shall become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Award Notice. Vesting may be accelerated as described in the Award Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means cessation of service as a director as a result of the Company’s corporate governance policies relating to director services, such as those pertaining to tenure, age or change in job responsibilities from those held when elected, or other circumstances as may be approved by the Company’s Nominating Committee.

5.Voting Rights/Dividend Equivalents. Since RSUs do not represent actual Shares, no voting rights arise upon receipt of RSUs.  A cash payment equal to the aggregate amount of dividends, if any, that would have been paid on the underlying Shares will be paid (without interest) when the RSUs vest and such Shares are distributed.
6.Rights as a Stockholder. You shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the RSUs until Shares have been delivered to you upon settlement of the RSUs. 
7.Non-transferability of RSUs. No RSUs granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
8.Personal Information. You agree the Company and its suppliers or vendors may collect, use and disclose your personal information for the purposes of the implementation, management, administration and termination of the Plan.

The Committee may amend, alter, modify, suspend or terminate the Award Notice or this Agreement at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part; provided, however, no amendment, alteration, modification, suspension or termination of the Award Notice or Agreement shall adversely affect in any material way the Award Notice or this Agreement, without your written consent,
