 Exhibit 10.63 

Employee Restricted Stock Agreement 

This Employee Restricted Stock Agreement, dated as of April __, 2014, between Univar Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the employee whose name
appears on the signature page hereof, is being entered into pursuant to the Univar Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. The meaning of capitalized terms may be found in Section 7. 

The Company and the Employee hereby agree as follows: 

Section 1. Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby evidences and confirms, effective
as of the date hereof, its grant to the Employee of the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified on the signature page hereof. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the terms of the Restricted Stock are subject to, the terms of the
Plan. Promptly after the date hereof, one or more stock certificates registered in the Employee’s name and representing the Restricted Stock will be delivered on behalf of the Employee to the Secretary of the Company, to be held in custody of
the Secretary of the Company. 
 Section 2. Vesting and Forfeiture 

(a) Based on Continued Employment. The Restricted Stock shall vest in four equal installments on the first through
fourth anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the Employee’s continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary through the applicable vesting date. 

(b) Effect of a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control occurring prior to the fourth anniversary of the
Grant Date, subject to the Employee’s continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary from the Grant Date to the date of the Change in Control, 50% of each Restricted Stock installment that is then unvested (as determined by Section
2(a), without giving effect to this Section 2(b)) shall automatically become vested upon the occurrence of the Change in Control. Any Restricted Stock that remains unvested and outstanding after giving effect to the preceding sentence shall either,
in the Board’s reasonable determination, be honored and assumed after the Change in Control with the same vesting schedule or canceled and substituted with new rights (an “Alternative Award”); provided that any
Alternative Award must give the Employee rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights and terms applicable under such unvested Restricted Stock, including, but not limited to, an identical or better vesting schedule,
and, if the Alternative Award or the securities underlying it are not publicly-traded, identical or better rights following a termination of the Employee’s employment to require the Company or the acquiror in such Change in Control to
repurchase the Alternative Award or securities underlying such Alternative Award. 
 (c) Discretionary Acceleration.
The Board, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted Stock at any time and from time to time. 







 (d) Effect of Termination of Employment. If the Employee’s employment
with the Company is terminated (i) by the Employee with Good Reason, (ii) by the Company without Cause or (iii) in a Special Termination (i.e., by reason of the Employee’s death or Disability), then
(A) a number of shares of the Employee’s then-unvested Restricted Stock shall become vested as of the date of termination equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Restricted Stock held by the Employee that
would have vested if the Employee’s employment with the Company had continued until the next following anniversary of the Grant Date multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed from
the later of the Grant Date or the most recent anniversary of the Grant Date and the denominator of which is 365, and (B) any remaining shares of Restricted Stock held by the Employee after the application of clause (A) shall be
forfeited as of the date of termination. Upon termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by the Company for Cause or by the Employee without Good Reason, any unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited as of
the date of termination. 
 (e) No Other Accelerated Vesting. The vesting provisions set forth in this Section 2, or
expressly set forth in the Plan, shall be the exclusive vesting provisions applicable to the shares of Restricted Stock and shall supersede any other provisions relating to vesting, unless such other such provision expressly refers to the Plan by
name and this Agreement by name and date. 
 Section 3. Dividend Equivalents 

If the Company pays any cash dividend or similar cash distribution on the Common Stock, the Company shall credit to the
Employee’s account an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of unvested Restricted Stock as of the record date for such distribution times (y) the per share amount of such dividend or similar cash
distribution on Common Stock. Any cash amounts credited to the Employee’s account shall be paid to the Employee on the applicable Vesting Date (as defined below). If the Company makes any dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in
the form of Common Stock or other securities, the Company will credit the Employee’s account with that number of additional shares of Common Stock or other securities that would have been distributed with respect to that number of shares of
Common Stock underlying the unvested Restricted Stock as of the record date thereof. Any such additional shares of Common Stock or other securities shall be subject to the same vesting restrictions as apply to the Restricted Stock. 

Section 4. Vesting of Restricted Stock 

On each date on which shares of Restricted Stock become vested pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Vesting
Date”), subject to Section 8(a), the shares of Restricted Stock that have then vested (the “Vested Shares”) shall cease to be subject to this Agreement and shall instead be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Subscription Agreement.

Restricted Stock; 
 (ii) the Employee has a good understanding of the English language; and 

(iii) as of the Grant Date, the Employee was an officer or employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries. 

(b) No Right to Awards. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the grant of any Restricted Stock (i) is
being made on an exceptional basis and is not intended to be renewed or repeated, (ii) is entirely voluntary on the part of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and (iii) should not be construed as creating any obligation on the
part of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to offer any Restricted Stock in the future. 
 (c) Investment
Intention. The Employee represents and warrants that the Employee has been awarded the Restricted Stock and any Vested Shares delivered in respect thereof for his or her own account for investment and not on behalf of any other person or with a
view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Restricted Stock. 
 Section 6. Restriction on Transfer;
Legending. 
 (a) The Restricted Stock is not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and it may not, directly
or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including, but not limited to, by gift, operation of law or otherwise). Any purported Transfer in violation of this
Section 6 shall be void ab initio. 
 (b) Prior to the applicable Vesting Date, a restrictive legend shall be placed on any
certificates representing the shares of Restricted Stock that makes clear that the shares are subject to the vesting conditions set forth in this Agreement and a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company or any transfer agent
indicating that the shares are subject to such restrictions. Following the Vesting Date, the Vested Shares shall contain such legends as are contemplated by the Subscription Agreement.
