EXHIBIT A
TO RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD GRANT NOTICE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO THE RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD
PURSUANT TO THE
THE ANDERSONS, INC. 2019 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN


Pursuant to The Andersons, Inc. 2019 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”) and the Restricted Stock Award Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”), “Participant,” as identified in the Grant Notice, has been granted that number of Shares set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Restricted Stock”). By execution of the Grant Notice, Participant has acknowledged and agreed that the Restricted Stock is subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Terms”).
WHEREAS, it has been determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the Restricted Stock to Participant.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:
1.Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt
The Terms are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the Terms provided herein), all of which provisions are made a part of and incorporated herein as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. In the event of any conflict between these Terms, the Plan or the Grant Notice, the Plan shall control.
2.Grant of Restricted Stock Award
The Company grants to Participant, as of the Grant Date specified in the Grant Notice, the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified in the Grant Notice. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in these Terms provides, or is intended to provide, Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of Participant’s interest in the Company for any reason, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of any such shares, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or these Terms. Subject to Section 4 hereof, Participant shall not have the rights of a stockholder in respect of the shares underlying this Award until unrestricted shares are delivered to Participant in accordance with Section 4 hereof.
3.Vesting
(a)General. Subject to Article XI of the Plan, the Restricted Stock shall become unrestricted and vested as described in the Grant Notice. There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting during the period prior to the vesting date and all vesting shall occur only on the vesting date set forth in the Grant Notice, subject to Participant’s continued service on the Board on the applicable vesting date.
(b)Certain Terminations Prior to Vesting
. Unless otherwise provided in the Grant Notice, Participant’s right to vest in any of the Restricted Stock shall terminate in full and be immediately forfeited upon Participant’s Termination for any reason.













4.Dividends and Other Distributions; Voting
If any dividends or other distributions are paid with respect to the Common Stock of the Company while Participant holds the Restricted Stock and prior to the time that the Restricted Stock becomes vested in accordance with the Grant Notice, Participant shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions attributable to the Restricted Stock in the form of additional shares of Common Stock; provided that, any such dividends or other distributions will be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying Restricted Stock. Additional shares of Common Stock attributable to dividends or other distributions will be issued to Participant as soon as administratively feasible following the time the Restricted Stock becomes vested in accordance with the Grant Notice, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Restricted Stock became vested. The amount of such additional shares of Common Stock will be determined by multiplying (i) the total amount of dividends actually paid on a share of Common Stock prior to the date that the Restricted Stock become vested in accordance with Grant Notice, by (ii) the number of shares of Restricted Stock that become vested in accordance with the terms of the Grant Notice, and then dividing such total by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the last trading day prior to the applicable vesting date, as determined by the Committee. Participant may exercise full voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock granted under the Grant Notice.
5.Non-Transferability
Any attempt to sell, exchange, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of or hypothecate in any way any of the Restricted Stock, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar legal process upon the Restricted Stock prior to the vesting date or contrary to the terms and provisions of the Plan, shall be null and void and without legal force or effect.
6.Governing Law
All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of these Terms and the Grant Notice shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to the choice of law principles thereof.
7.Section 83(b)
Participant may make a Section 83(b) election within 30 days after the issuance of the Restricted Stock to include in gross income for federal income tax purposes in the year of issuance the Fair Market Value of such shares of Restricted Stock. Participant shall promptly notify the Company if Participant makes such a Section 83(b) election. 
8.Limited Power of Attorney to Transfer Unvested Shares Upon Termination. 
In order to facilitate the transfer to the Company of any Shares in which Participant forfeits vesting rights pursuant to these Terms, Participant agrees to hereby appoint the General Counsel of the Company as Participant’s attorney in fact with full power of substitution, to act for Participant in Participant’s name and place to sell, assign, and transfer Shares of the Company registered in Participant’s name on the books of the Company as represented by the Company’s Registrar and Transfer Agent, in book entry form, and to receive the consideration for the Shares. Such power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

19.Severability
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of these Terms in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of the Terms in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision of these Terms in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
