**PART I**

FMC Corporation was incorporated in 1928 under Delaware law and has its principal executive offices at 2929 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104. Throughout this annual report on Form 10-K, except where otherwise stated or indicated by the context, "FMC," the "Company," "We," "Us," or "Our" means FMC Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries and their predecessors. Copies of the annual, quarterly and current reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and any amendments to those reports, are available on our website at *www.fmc.com* as soon as practicable after we furnish such materials to the SEC.

**ITEM 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BUSINESS** 

**General**

FMC Corporation is a global agricultural sciences company dedicated to providing farmers with innovative solutions that increase the productivity and resilience of their land. We operate in a single distinct business segment. We develop, market and sell all three major classes of crop protection chemicals (insecticides, herbicides and fungicides) as well as biologicals, crop nutrition, and seed treatment products, which we group as plant health. FMC's innovative crop protection solutions help growers produce food, feed, fiber and fuel for an expanding world population while adapting to a changing environment. FMC is committed to discovering new insecticide, herbicide, and fungicide active ingredients, product formulations and pioneering technologies that are consistently better for the planet.

**FMC Strategy**

We are a tier-one leader in the agrochemicals/crop protection market. Our position in the market is driven by our technology and innovation, as well as our geographic balance and crop diversity.

As announced in February 2026, the FMC Board of Directors has authorized the exploration of strategic options, including but not limited to, the sale of the company to unlock shareholder value and ensure that the growth and core portfolios are best positioned for long-term success. FMC's four new active ingredients, along with its broader development pipeline, are unique and transformative. The company believes there is significant opportunity to enhance shareholder value by accelerating growth and delivering enhanced financial results with additional investment in these technologies. The strategic review is at a preliminary stage, and there can be no assurance that the process will result in any transaction.

FMC remains focused on executing our 2026 operational priorities, which include strengthening the balance sheet, improving the competitiveness of our core portfolio, managing our post-patent Rynaxypyr<sup>®</sup> active strategy and supporting growth of new active ingredients. We aim to strengthen our balance sheet by paying down debt through asset sales and licensing agreements, including the sale of our India commercial business. In July 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the Company's commercial business in India in response to ongoing commercial challenges in the country. FMC plans to continue to actively participate in the India market through a supply agreement with the eventual buyer of the business for its patented and data-protected portfolio, ranging from new diamide technologies to active ingredients and biologicals. The Company will continue its active ingredients manufacturing operations in India. The sale process is underway and is expected to conclude in 2026. Further priorities focus on improving the competitiveness of our core portfolio and managing the post-patent transition for Rynaxypyr<sup>®</sup> active. We will also continue advancing commercialization of new active ingredients, including Isoflex<sup>®</sup> active, fluindapyr, Dodhylex<sup>™</sup> active and rimisoxafen.

FMC's strategy also includes a focus on increasing operating leverage, optimizing functional costs, and driving a fit-for-purpose and resilient supply network. FMC's 2024 restructuring efforts generated $165 million in cost benefits. In 2025, FMC launched Project Foundation, a multi-year program to optimize our manufacturing footprint and reduce structural costs. The initiative focuses on exiting high-cost production sites, consolidating operations, and streamlining the organizational cost base to improve efficiency and competitiveness. Strategically, it aims to deliver sustainable margin improvement and position FMC for long-term growth by creating a leaner, more agile operating model.

FMC remains committed to leading the industry in safety, inclusion, and sustainability. We are collectively committed to working safely every day to ensure the safety of our people and products. We also strive to create an environment that fosters a culture of belonging across our team of 5,500 global employees. Additionally, we are committed to delivering products that improve agricultural productivity while protecting the environment for future generations. Our focus on sustainability covers both the impacts of climate change on our business as well as our business on the climate. These values of safety, inclusion, and sustainability define FMC and guide how we do business.

**Acquisitions and Divestitures**

Through FMC Ventures, our venture capital arm, we have made strategic investments in start-ups and early-stage companies that are developing and applying emerging technologies in the agricultural industry. As previously mentioned, FMC announced our intention to divest our India commercial business as part of our portfolio optimization strategy. The business is classified as "held for sale" beginning in the third quarter of 2025. FMC expects the divestiture to close in 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals.

***Products and Markets***

Our portfolio is comprised of three major pesticide categories: insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. The majority of our product lines consist of insecticides and herbicides, and we have a growing portfolio of fungicides mainly used in high value crop segments. Our insecticides are used to control a wide spectrum of pests, while our herbicide portfolio primarily targets a large variety of difficult-to-control weeds. We are also investing in our Plant Health program which includes biologicals, crop nutrition, and seed treatment products. Biological technologies offer excellent sustainability profiles and serve as strong complements to our synthetic products. Our biologicals feature attributes such as high stability, long shelf life, low use rates and compatibility with other chemistries.

We have our own sales and marketing organizations and access the market through a combination of distributors, retailers and co-ops in all four regions. In addition, we sell directly to large growers in select countries such as Brazil. Through these and other alliances, along with our own targeted marketing efforts, access to novel technologies and our innovation initiatives, we expect to maintain and enhance our access in key agricultural and non-crop markets and develop new products that will help us continue to compete effectively.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

***Industry Overview***

The three principal categories of agricultural and non-crop chemicals are: herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, representing approximately 41 percent, 30 percent and 27 percent of global agricultural crop protection market value, respectively.

The agrochemicals industry includes the following leading crop protection companies: FMC, ChemChina (owner of Syngenta Group, which includes the former Syngenta and Adama), Bayer AG (acquired Monsanto in 2018), BASF AG, Corteva Agriscience, and UPL Ltd. These six innovation companies currently represent approximately 76 percent of the crop protection industry's global sales. The next group of agrochemical producers include Sumitomo Chemical Company Ltd. and Nufarm Ltd. FMC employs various differentiated strategies and competes with unique technologies focusing on certain crops, markets and geographies.

***Growth***

We are among the leading agrochemical producers in the world. Several products from our portfolio are based on proprietary active ingredients with a range of intellectual property protections which should position us to grow well above market patterns. Our complementary technologies combine improved formulation capabilities and a broader innovation pipeline, resulting in new and differentiated products. We continue to take advantage of enhanced market access positions and an expanded portfolio to deliver near-term growth.

We have a growth strategy driven by obtaining new and improved uses for existing product lines and developing, acquiring, accessing, marketing, distributing and/or selling complementary chemistries, biologicals, and related technologies to strengthen our product portfolio and our capabilities to effectively service our target markets and customers.

Our growth efforts focus on developing environmentally compatible and sustainable solutions that can effectively increase farmers' yields and provide alternatives to products which may be prone to resistance. We are committed to providing unique, differentiated products to our customers by acquiring and further developing technologies as well as investing in innovation to extend product life cycles, introduce new modes of action, and enter new market segments. Our external growth efforts include product acquisitions, in-licensing of chemistries and technologies and alliances that bolster our market access, complement our existing product portfolio or provide entry into adjacent spaces. We have entered into a range of development and distribution agreements with other companies that provide access to new technologies and products which we can subsequently commercialize.

In FMC Precision Agriculture, we are broadening our award-winning Arc™ farm intelligence platform, a proprietary mobile solution that helps farmers better understand and manage pest pressure through predictive modeling based on real-time and historical data, entomological models, hyper-local weather information and in-field sensors. Arc™ farm intelligence, which is now available in over 25 countries across 20 million acres, allows growers to address pest pressure more efficiently, manage infestations before they escalate and target applications in a more sustainable manner.

In 2025, our venture capital arm, FMC Ventures, continued to support its portfolio of collaborations and strategic investments in start-ups and early-stage companies working on new or disruptive technologies. These engagements, which support or augment our internal capabilities, span several important technology segments, including precision applications, ag-fintech, molecule encapsulation, and peptides.

***Core Portfolio***

Our core portfolio includes one of our two diamide-class molecules – Rynaxypyr<sup>®</sup> active (chlorantraniliprole), the world's leading insect control technology – with annual revenues of approximately $0.8 billion in 2025. The core portfolio also includes our long standing synthetic herbicides and insecticides which continue to deliver strong performance across a variety of crops around the world. Our current diamide pipeline contains approximately eleven new products containing Rynaxypyr<sup>®</sup> active to be launched this decade. Our strategy for Rynaxypyr<sup>®</sup> active includes the introduction of novel formulations and mixture products as well as lower cost solo formulations. The first of these Rynaxypyr<sup>®</sup> active containing products, under the trademarks Elevest<sup>®</sup> insect control, Vantacor<sup>®</sup> insect control, and Altacor<sup>®</sup> eVo insect control, were launched in the US and other countries, including Canada and Australia, starting in late 2020 and launched in additional countries in 2025 onward. In 2023, Premio® Star insect control formulation was launched in Brazil and launched in other Latin American countries starting in 2026. The implementation of our lower cost diamide manufacturing strategy will also support our ability to compete with expected generic competitors following the expiration of our composition of matter and process patents covering Rynaxypyr<sup>®</sup> active.

***Growth Portfolio***

FMC's growth portfolio includes products under patent or data protection in important markets and/or providing novel modes of action. We believe that FMC has one of the most productive crop protection pipelines in agriculture. The pipeline is highly valuable because it is biased toward new modes of action. The current R&D pipeline features 16 new active areas in discovery and 19 new active ingredients in development.

The growth portfolio includes our second diamide-class molecule, Cyazypyr<sup>®</sup> active (cyantraniliprole), which supports a portfolio of products that generated revenues of approximately $0.4 billion in 2025. Cyazypyr<sup>®</sup> active-containing brands, under the trademarks Verimark<sup>®</sup> insect control, Benevia<sup>®</sup> insect control, and Exirel<sup>®</sup> insect control were launched in certain southern European countries starting in 2023. Our current diamide pipeline contains approximately seven new products containing Cyazypyr<sup>®</sup> active expected to be launched this decade, and we continue to explore further innovations based on this diamide chemistry. We are developing novel formulations containing Cyazypyr<sup>®</sup> active which are intended to expand the spectrum of pest control and provide growers with lower cost in use. We also expect that implementation of our lower cost diamide manufacturing strategy will allow for continued competitiveness of Cyazypyr<sup>®</sup> active as generic entry begins following the expiration of the process patent in 2025 and after data protection expires in key countries.

Dodhylex<sup>™</sup> active is the first active ingredient in the HRAC/ WSSA Group 28 and the first new herbicide with a novel mode of action in the industry in over three decades. This new mode of action herbicide was discovered at the FMC Stine Research Center and is a testament to FMC's commitment to innovation and our disciplined approach to advancing the most promising new molecules. FMC is working towards registering Dodhylex<sup>™</sup> active for use in all major rice-growing countries across the globe and other additional crops. We have received registrations in Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, and South Korea and a conditional approval in the Philippines. The registration dossier for Dodhylex<sup>™</sup> active and products containing Dodhylex<sup>™</sup> active were submitted for review in India, Brazil, the United States, Taiwan, Japan, and Malaysia.

Rimisoxafen is a new dual mode of action herbicide designed to control troublesome and resistant broadleaf weeds including Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, and redroot pigweed. Palmer amaranth is a fast growing and harmful weed that has developed resistance to eight different herbicide modes of action on the market. Rimisoxafen will be intended for use in broadacre crops such as corn, soybean, cereals, pulses and sunflower. Rimisoxafen is in the development phase of our pipeline, and we expect to begin submitting regulatory dossiers for rimisoxafen in key markets starting in 2026.

Our fungicide pipeline portfolio includes fluindapyr. Fluindapyr controls a variety of key diseases in row and specialty crops around the world. Fluindapyr formulations are registered in the United States, Brazil, Paraguay, Mexico, South Korea, Ukraine and Argentina. Key crops include soybeans, corn, cotton, cereals, oilseed rape, fruits and vegetables, tree nuts and peanuts. Onsuva<sup>™</sup> fungicide is available in Argentina and Brazil to prevent and control diseases affecting soybean, corn and peanut crops. Adastrio<sup>™</sup> fungicide is registered in the U.S. for use in corn, grain sorghum, wheat, triticale and barley against anthracnose leaf blight, common rust, gray leaf spot, Northern corn leaf blight and Southern rust.

***Pipeline***

As an agricultural sciences company, FMC believes in innovation and in protecting that innovation through intellectual property rights. We own and license a significant number of U.S. and foreign patents, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property that are cumulatively important to our business. In addition, we seek to license our proprietary technologies through partnering arrangements that effectively allow us to capitalize from our intellectual property. The FMC intellectual property estate provides us with a significant competitive advantage which we seek to expand and renew on a continual basis. We manage our technology investment to discover and develop new active ingredients and biological products, as well as to continue to improve manufacturing processes and existing active ingredients through new formulations, mixtures or other concepts. FMC's technology innovation processes capture those innovations and protect them through the most appropriate form of intellectual property rights. We also in-license certain active ingredients and other technologies under patents held by third parties, and have granted licenses to certain of our patents to third parties.

Our patents cover many aspects of our business, including our chemical and biological active ingredients, intermediate chemicals, manufacturing processes to produce such active ingredients or intermediates, formulations, and product uses, as well as many aspects of our research and development activities that support the FMC new product pipeline. Patents are granted by individual jurisdictions and the duration of our patents depends on their respective jurisdictions and payment of annuities.

We also own many trademarks that are well recognized by customers or product end-users. Unlike patents, ownership rights in trademarks can be continued indefinitely so long as the trademarks are properly used, and renewal fees are paid.

We actively monitor and manage our patents and trademarks to maintain and protect our rights in these assets and we strategically act when we believe our intellectual property rights are being infringed. Since 2022, continuing through 2025, we initiated proceedings to enforce several of our patents and trademarks against generic producers and infringers, resulting in multiple favorable judgments and settlements in several countries, including in the United States, India, and China. Patent validity challenges in response to enforcement efforts are expected as an ordinary defense tactic in patent enforcement cases. To date, such challenges have been raised in several of our enforcement cases and we intend to strategically defend any patents that are challenged. We believe that the invalidity or loss of any particular patent, trademark or licenses after appeal would be an unlikely possibility. Our intellectual property, including our patent and trademark estate related to our diamide insect control products based on Rynaxypyr<sup>®</sup> active and Cyazypyr<sup>®</sup> active ingredients in the aggregate are of material importance to our operations.

In June 2024, FMC initiated a lawsuit against Sharda USA LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) for infringing two US Patents directed to insecticidal compositions containing the combination of bifenthrin and zeta-cypermethrin. In August 2024, FMC successfully obtained a preliminary injunction in the form of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) preventing Sharda from selling its generic WINNER product in the US. Sharda successfully overturned the preliminary injunction, and the case is currently remanded back to the District Court for trial on the merits.

FMC filed a patent infringement case against Albaugh in the US District Court (Iowa), based on public information disclosed in Albaugh's EPA dossier. In the lawsuit, FMC alleged that Albaugh imported, made, or used products containing chlorantraniliprole made in violation of FMC's U.S. patent rights protecting FMC's processes for manufacturing chlorantraniliprole. In November 2024, FMC and Albaugh reached an agreement to resolve the case. As part of that agreement, Albaugh has agreed to pay FMC for a license to FMC's patented technology used in the manufacture of chlorantraniliprole for agricultural uses in the United States. The specific terms of the agreement are confidential.

In December 2024, Atticus LLC filed a declaratory judgment case against FMC in the US District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. Atticus requested the Court declare that Atticus's contemplated formulated products containing chlorantraniliprole do not infringe FMC's patents directed to certain chlorantraniliprole product formulations. In October 2025, FMC and Atticus settled this dispute. Atticus is now free to commercialize CTPR-containing products.

Patents involve complex factual and legal issues and thus each case is litigated on the merits, under relevant laws of the jurisdiction. Patent validity challenges in response to enforcement efforts are expected as an ordinary defense tactic in patent enforcement cases. We intend to strategically defend any patents that are challenged.

In early 2022, we received notice that certain third parties were seeking to invalidate our Chinese patents on a certain intermediate involved in producing chlorantraniliprole and a process to produce chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole. During the third quarter of 2022, the China Patent Review Board ("Review Board") issued rulings which held that the two challenged patents were not valid in China. In 2023, we appealed the Review Board's decision to the Beijing IP Court. The Beijing IP Court upheld the decisions of the Review Board. We believe that the Beijing IP Court's decisions were seriously flawed both on procedural and substantive grounds and we appealed the Review Board's decision to the People's Supreme Court of China. Under Chinese law, the patents remain valid but are not enforceable pending appeal. As of the date of filing this Form 10-K, the patents under appeal have expired. As a result, we have withdrawn our appeal before the People's Supreme Court of China. We do not believe that this decision, nor the decisions of the lower courts in China would materially adversely impact our enforcement of similar patents in other countries.

In several of our pending India patent enforcement cases, defendant infringers have sought to invalidate the asserted FMC patent(s), but as of the date of filing this Form 10- K, we are seeking to have these invalidation actions dismissed, as the patents have expired.

**Seasonality**

The seasonal nature of the crop protection market and the geographic spread of our business can result in significant variations in quarterly earnings among geographic locations. Our products sold in the northern hemisphere (North America, Europe and parts of Asia) serve seasonal agricultural markets from March through September, generally resulting in significant earnings in the first and second quarters, and to a lesser extent in the fourth quarter. Markets in the southern hemisphere (Latin America and parts of the Asia Pacific region, including Australia) are served from July through February, generally resulting in earnings in the third, fourth and first quarters.

**Competition**

We encounter substantial competition in our business. We market our products through our own sales organization and through alliance partners, independent distributors and sales representatives. The number of our principal competitors varies from market to market. In general, we compete by providing advanced technology, high product quality, reliability, quality customer and technical service, and by operating in a cost-efficient manner.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

Our business competes primarily in the global crop protection market for insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. Industry products include crop protection chemicals and biologicals, for certain major competitors, genetically engineered (crop biotechnology) products. Competition from generic agrochemical producers is significant as a number of key product patents have expired in the last two decades. In general, we compete as an innovator by focusing on product development, including novel formulations, proprietary mixes, and advanced delivery systems and by acquiring or licensing (mostly) proprietary chemistries or technologies that complement our product and geographic focus. We also differentiate ourselves by our global cost-competitiveness through our manufacturing strategies, establishing effective product stewardship programs and developing strategic alliances that strengthen market access in key countries and regions.

**Research and Development Expense**

The R&D efforts in our business focus on discovering and developing environmentally sound solutions — both new active ingredients and new product formulations — that meet the needs of farmers to maximize yields and control pests. We are focused on maintaining the site infrastructure at our R&D facilities, including the FMC Stine Research Center in Newark, Delaware, and continuously investing in high-quality equipment.

**Environmental Laws and Regulations**

A discussion of environmental related factors can be found in Item 7 *"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*" and in Note 10 "*Environmental Obligations*" in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

**Human Capital** 

At FMC, employees are guided by our purpose: *Innovation for agriculture; Solutions for the planet*. We provide farmers innovative solutions that increase the productivity and resilience of their land. From our industry-leading discovery pipeline to novel biologicals and precision technologies, we are passionate about the power of science to solve agriculture's biggest challenges. Our employees' belief in this purpose and commitment to our core values are key to the Company's success.

***Employees***

We employ approximately 5,500 people, which is split across our major geographical regions with 21 percent in North America, 13 percent in Latin America, 27 percent in Europe, Middle East & Africa, and 39 percent in Asia as of December 31, 2025.

We have one collective-bargaining agreement in the US and several collective-bargaining agreements or equivalent agreements in non-US-based locations. None of these agreements are considered material to our operations or financial position. Employees subject to these agreements do not represent a material portion of our overall employee headcount. Over the years, we have successfully renegotiated contracts without any material work stoppages. We cannot predict, however, the outcome of future contract negotiations.

***Talent Development and Retention***

Developing our talent is critical to FMC's ability to attract and retain a highly skilled and engaged workforce who can lead competitively, innovate change, improve business performance, and successfully maintain a competitive advantage. We are committed to investing in our employees' professional development through a range of programs and initiatives, including individual development plans, stretch projects, and rotational assignments. We provide all employees with access to a best-in-class on-demand learning platform featuring a vast library of courses, empowering employees to learn on their own schedule, fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development. We also offer leadership development programs and executive coaching tailored for our leaders to equip them with the skills needed to effectively manage teams, drive performance and inspire innovation.

FMC continually strives to meet the needs of our employees, shareholders, and customers through competitive rewards, policies, and practices designed to attract, retain and motivate exceptional employees and drive both individual and Company performance. Performance-based direct pay programs include competitive base pay, short-term incentives, and long-term incentives. In addition, comprehensive global benefit packages are offered to support the health and well-being of employees and their families, enabling FMC to offer a comprehensive total reward package designed for employees throughout their career.

***FMC Culture***

An important element of our Company's strategy is our commitment to creating an inclusive culture where every employee feels a sense of belonging and is empowered to thrive. Our goal is for everyone to have a voice, and know their contributions are valued at FMC. As an example of our efforts, we conduct an all-employee engagement survey designed to capture the voice of our employees and provide actionable insights to sustain an inclusive environment and support employees to perform at their best.

***Safety***

Safety is a core value at FMC. We are committed to building an injury-free workplace where every person returns home the same way they arrived. We foster a culture of open reporting so we can learn from our mistakes and continuously improve our behaviors and processes. Our dedication to safety is reflected in our Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.1491, which remains among the lowest in global industry and places us in the top decile of peer companies in North America. This performance underscores our collective commitment to working safely every day. We empower our people to always put safety first—both at work and at home.

**Sustainability**

We are committed to delivering products that improve agricultural productivity while protecting the environment for future generations. We recognize that sustainability goes beyond reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it also encompasses human rights, the importance of nature, including biodiversity and how we utilize scarce resources such as water. We are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals #2 (Zero Hunger), #8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), #13 (Climate Action) and #15 (Life on Land). To reflect this commitment, we have established multiple sustainability goals, including goals related to net-zero GHG emissions, waste, water, and safety. FMC's Climate Transition Plan, published in our sustainability report, outlines how climate-related risks and opportunities are considered as part of our strategy to achieve net-zero GHG emissions. To better understand climate-related risks and opportunities, we utilized scenario analyses, informed by leading global frameworks, and integrate insights into long-term planning and risk management processes. We report on our sustainability strategy, alignment with global frameworks (including the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures), and progress on our sustainability goals annually in our sustainability report and CDP disclosures.

At FMC, we embed sustainability and stewardship at each stage of the product life cycle, and stewardship priorities are built into the core of research and development, portfolio and marketing strategies. We see transition market opportunities within our product portfolio to support growers in adapting to climate change through solutions that enhance productivity, resource efficiency, and improve resilience to more variable growing conditions. We have developed and utilize our Product Sustainability Assessment Tool to evaluate the sustainability attributes of new active ingredients in the research and development pipeline. This assessment, along with other product stewardship processes and tools, promotes the introduction and use of sustainably advantaged agricultural solutions. We continue to strive for open and transparent communications about our product stewardship successes and challenges. FMC is continuing to phase out Highly Hazardous Pesticides ("HHPs") from our product portfolio. In 2025, HHPs accounted for approximately 0.1 percent of our total sales. This reduction of HHPs in our portfolio can be attributed to our internal processes which include continuous evaluation, close monitoring and subsequent phase out along with strong stewardship actions.

**SEC Filings**

SEC filings are available free of charge on our website, www.fmc.com. Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports are posted as soon as practicable after we furnish such materials to the SEC.

**Regulation FD Disclosures** 

The Company's investor relations website, located at https://investors.fmc.com, should be considered as a recognized channel of distribution, and the Company may periodically post important information to the web site for investors, including information that the Company may wish to disclose publicly for purposes of complying with the federal securities laws and our disclosure obligations under the SEC's Regulation FD.

**ITEM 1A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RISK FACTORS** 

Among the factors that could have an impact on our ability to achieve operating results and meet our other goals are:

***<u>Risks Related to Business and Industry Conditions</u>***

***Our business faces competition, which could affect our ability to maintain or raise prices, successfully enter certain markets or retain our market position.***

Competition for our business includes not only generic suppliers of the same pesticidal active ingredients but also alternative proprietary pesticide chemistries and crop protection technologies that are bred into or applied onto seeds. Increased generic presence in agricultural chemical markets has been driven by the number of significant product patents and product data protections that have expired in the last decade, and this trend is expected to continue. There are also changing competitive dynamics in the agrochemical industry as some of our competitors have consolidated, resulting in them having greater scale and diversity, as well as market reach.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

Additionally, competition from generic agrochemical producers, particularly from producers based in China, has had and may continue to have a significant impact on our business and financial results, as a number of key product patents have expired in the last two decades. These competitive differences may not be overcome and may erode our business. Agriculture in many countries is changing and new technologies (e.g., precision pest prediction or application, data management) continue to emerge. At this time, the scope and potential impact of these technologies are largely unknown but could have the potential to disrupt our business.

***Our markets are affected by climatic conditions, both chronic and acute, which could adversely impact our business.***

Our business may be impacted by changing climate conditions, including physical risks from acute and chronic climate events and transition risks associated with longer-term changes in markets and demand. The acute and chronic effects of climate conditions, including, but not limited to, drought, flooding, hurricanes, excessive heat and general volatility in seasonal temperatures, could adversely affect our operations globally. Drought and/or increased temperatures may change insect pest pressures, requiring growers to use more, less, or different insecticides. Longer-term shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns may also alter land suitability and crop mixes over time, changing pest and disease pressures and, in turn, demand for certain crop protection solutions. These shifts may become more rapid and persistent with rising temperatures and increasing GHG levels. Extreme weather events and natural disasters may result in, among other things, physical damage to our property and equipment, increased resource scarcity, including water, and interruptions to our supply chain. The nature of these events makes them difficult to predict and may result in significant costs or capital expenditures.

***Unexpected market conditions may adversely impact our business due to the seasonal nature of the crop protection market and the geographic spread of our business.***

In any given calendar quarter certain geographies may predominate the demand for our products in light of seasonal variations typically associated with the crop protection market and the geographic regions in which we operate. Unexpected market conditions in any such predominating geography, such as adverse weather, pest pressures, or other risks described herein, may impact our business if occurring during a calendar quarter in which such geography is predominating.

***Changes in the regulatory environment, particularly in the U.S., Brazil, China, Argentina and the European Union, could adversely impact our ability to continue producing and/or selling certain products in our domestic and foreign markets or could increase the cost of producing and/or selling certain products.*** 

We have continued to grow our geographic footprint particularly in Europe and Asia, which means that developments outside the U.S. will generally have a more significant effect on our operations than in the past. Our operations outside the U.S. are subject to special risks and restrictions, including: fluctuations in currency values; exchange control regulations; changes in local political or economic conditions; governmental pricing directives; import and trade restrictions or tariffs; import or export licensing requirements and trade policy; restrictions on the ability to repatriate funds; and other potentially detrimental domestic and foreign governmental practices or policies affecting U.S. companies doing business abroad.

We are sensitive to regulatory risk given the need to obtain and maintain pesticide registrations in every country in which we sell our products. Moreover, we are required to comply with protocols or applicable regulatory requirements of biological products. Protocols and regulations may change, or regulatory agencies may determine that a biological product is not approvable. There is a risk that future regulatory requirements may lead to delays in development of biologicals or limit growth from biologicals. Many countries require re-registration of pesticides to meet new and more challenging requirements; while we defend our products vigorously, these re-registration processes may result in significant additional data costs, reduced number of permitted product uses, or potential product cancellation. Compliance with changing laws and regulations may involve significant costs or capital expenditures or require changes in business practice that could result in reduced profitability. In the European Union, the regulatory risk specifically includes the chemicals regulation known as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals), which requires manufacturers to verify through a special registration system that their chemicals can be marketed safely. Changes to the regulatory environment may be influenced by non-government public pressure as a result of negative perception regarding the use of our crop protection products. Products reviewed by regulators and labeled safe for use may still be challenged by others which could lead to negative public perception or regulatory action. Competing products labeled safe for use were subject to lawsuits or claims, and a similar situation for our products could result in negative impacts.

***We do business in highly regulated industries. Changes in government regulations or trade association policies could adversely affect our results of operations.***

Much of our business is subject to government regulation and regulation by certain private sector associations, compliance with which can impose significant costs on our business. Future government policies may adversely affect the supply of, demand for, and prices of the Company's products; restrict the Company's ability to do business in its existing and target markets;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

and adversely affect the Company's revenues and operating results. Other regulations are applicable generally to all our businesses and corporate functions, including, without limitation, those promulgated under the FCPA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and other employment and health care related laws, federal and state securities laws, and the U.S. Patriot Act. Failure to comply with such regulations can result in additional costs, fines or criminal action.

A significant part of our operations is regulated by environmental laws and regulations, including those governing the labeling, use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous materials. Because we use and handle hazardous substances in our businesses, changes in environmental requirements or an unanticipated significant adverse environmental event could have an adverse effect on our business. We cannot assure that we have been, or will at all times be, in compliance with all environmental requirements, or that we will not incur costs or liabilities in connection with these requirements. Private parties, including current and former employees, could bring personal injury or other claims against us due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances used, stored or disposed of by us, or contained in our products. We are also exposed to residual risk because some of the facilities and land which we have acquired may have environmental liabilities arising from their prior use. In addition, changes to environmental regulations may require us to modify our existing plant and processing facilities which could significantly increase the cost of those operations.

Our agricultural production and trade flows can be affected by government programs and legislation. Production levels, markets and prices of the commodities we merchandise can be affected by U.S. government programs, which include acreage controls and price support programs administered by the USDA and required levels of ethanol in gasoline through the Renewable Fuel Standards as administered by the EPA. Other examples of government policies that can have an impact on our business include the Inflation Reduction Act, tariffs, taxes, duties, subsidies, import and export restrictions, outright embargoes and price controls on agricultural commodities. Because a portion of our commodity sales are to exporters, the imposition of export restrictions and other foreign countries' regulations could limit our sales opportunities and create additional credit risk associated with export brokers if shipments are rejected at their destination.

Our Company manufactures certain agricultural nutrients and uses potentially hazardous materials. All products containing pesticides, fungicides and herbicides must be registered with the EPA and state regulatory bodies before they can be sold. The inability to obtain or the cancellation of such registrations could have an adverse impact on our business. In the past, regulations governing the use and registration of these materials have required us to adjust the raw material content of our products and make formulation changes. Future regulatory changes may have similar consequences. Regulatory agencies, such as the EPA, may at any time reassess the safety of our products based on new scientific knowledge or other factors. If it were determined that any of our products were no longer considered to be safe, it could result in the amendment or withdrawal of existing approvals, which, in turn, could result in a loss of revenue, cause our inventory to become obsolete or give rise to potential lawsuits against us. Consequently, changes in existing and future government or trade association polices may restrict our ability to do business and have an adverse impact on the Company's financial results.

***Varying definitions in regulations create regulatory uncertainty for our Company when adapting to new environmental rules, including changes to EPA requirements.***

Regulatory bodies may use different definitions for regulated substances, which may result in uncertainty for our Company when adapting to new environmental rules. For example, the EPA defines PFAS as chemicals with two or more fluorinated carbon atoms whereas OECD defines PFAS as containing at least one fluorinated carbon atom. Increased pressure from non-government organizations and public opinion influence policy and regulatory bodies, which may result in frequent changes in federal and state regulations causing disparate standards across jurisdictions. This regulatory uncertainty may cause restrictions or bans on certain products, coupled with increased litigation risks due to opaque compliance requirements, as well as difficulty in long-term planning and investment decisions, which adversely impact product development and reformulation. Furthermore, regulatory uncertainty may increase cash outflows for compliance and securitization of reserves. These effects of regulatory uncertainty could adversely impact our financial results.

***We are subject to customer, consumer, shareholder and regulatory focus on sustainability, which may result in additional costs in order to meet new requirements, including adversely affecting our stock price, results of operations and access to capital.***

We face increasing regulatory reporting requirements related to sustainability topics, specifically in the European Union among other jurisdictions. At the same time, our customers, consumers and shareholders may be sensitive to environmental-related and other long-term sustainability issues. The focus on sustainability has resulted and may continue to result in new and changing regulations, including the need to comply with different regulatory regimes in different jurisdictions, and customer requirements that could affect us. These could cause us to incur additional capital expenditure and other costs or to make changes to our operations or reporting systems in order to comply with any new regulations and customer requirements.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

We could also lose revenue, including as a result of negative publicity, if our customers divert business from us because we have not complied with their sustainability requirements. Increased regulatory scrutiny, consumer or customer legal actions, shareholder activism with respect to sustainability, shifting public and investor sentiment on sustainability matters could also lead to increased costs and disruption to operations. These potential costs, changes and loss of revenue could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, climate change may result in changes to the governmental policy around greenhouse gases and other environmental and sustainability-related matters, including emission caps, trade regulations and other mechanisms to promote reduction of carbon emissions. Depending on their nature and scope, this could subject our manufacturing operations and suppliers to significant additional costs or limits on operations and affect the sources and supply of energy.

***Our operating results could be significantly affected by the cost of commodities such as chemical raw material commodities, energy commodities, and harvested crop commodities.*** 

Because most of our products are commodities, increases in commodity prices, including chemical raw material or energy commodity pricing, may negatively affect our financial results. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pass through increased costs to our customers. A significant increase in the price of fertilizer, natural gas, ammonia, sulfur or energy costs that is not recovered through an increase in the price of our related crop nutrients products could have a material adverse impact on our business. We use hedging strategies, where available on reasonable terms, to address energy and material commodity price risks. We may attempt to mitigate our exposure to increasing energy costs by hedging the cost of future deliveries of natural gas and electricity by entering into physical and financial derivative contracts. However, we are unable to avoid the risk of medium-term and long-term increases. Additionally, fluctuations in harvested crop commodity prices could negatively impact our customers' ability to sell their products at previously forecasted prices resulting in reduced customer liquidity. Inadequate customer liquidity could affect our customers' abilities to pay for our products and, therefore, affect existing and future sales or our ability to collect on customer receivables.

***Changes in the price or availability of key raw materials for production of finished goods have had, and could again have, a material adverse impact on our businesses.***

Certain raw materials are critical to our production processes and our purchasing strategy and supply chain design are complex. Our supply chain and business operations could be disrupted from the temporary closure of third-party supplier and manufacturer facilities, interruptions in product supply or restrictions on the export or shipment of our products. We closely monitor raw material and supply chain costs. We source critical intermediates and finished products from a number of suppliers, largely outside of the U.S. and principally in China and India. From time to time, our profitability has been and may in the future be adversely impacted by the price and availability of these key inputs and other energy costs. In recent years, we have seen some logistics challenges, pointed supply chain shortages, and increased cost of goods due to disruptions in energy markets, inflation and tariffs. There is considerable uncertainty surrounding the trade relationship between the U.S. and trading partners — e.g., the tariffs on goods coming into the U.S. from China, the reciprocal tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. to match tariffs imposed by other nations on goods imported from the U.S., and China's tariffs on imports of certain U.S. goods. Such changes have and may continue to adversely impact our business. In addition, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions have led, and may continue to lead, to disruption and instability in global markets, supply chains and volatile pricing and availability of these key inputs and raw materials.

Further, while we have made supply arrangements to meet planned operating requirements, an inability to obtain the critical raw materials or operate under contract manufacturing arrangements would adversely impact our ability to produce certain products and could lead to operational disruption and increase uncertainties around business performance. An inability to obtain these products or execute under contract sourcing arrangements would adversely impact our ability to sell products.

***<u>Risks Related to our Business Operations</u>***

***A global catastrophic event could have a material adverse effect on our business.***

A global catastrophic event (e.g., nuclear incident, pandemic, natural disaster) could endanger the lives and safety of our employees, limit market access, constrain supply and would require high levels of cross-functional coordination to maintain business continuity. If not properly managed, FMC could suffer substantial financial losses should the event negatively impact our operations or those of our customers. Global catastrophic events could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or our customers and suppliers operate. These uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. A widespread health crisis could adversely affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could impact demand for our products.

***As a chemical manufacturing company, our operations are subject to operational risks and have the potential to cause environmental or other damage as well as personal injury, or disrupt our ability to supply our customers, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.***

The operation of a chemical manufacturing business as well as the sale and distribution of chemical products are subject to operational as well as safety, health and environmental risks. Our manufacturing processes and those of our contract manufacturers are subject to hazards inherent in chemical manufacturing, which include explosions, fires, mechanical failure, unscheduled downtimes, supplier disruptions, labor shortages or other labor difficulties, information technology systems outages, disruption in our supply chain or manufacturing and distribution operations, transportation interruptions, chemical spills, discharges or releases of toxic or hazardous substances or gases, shipment of contaminated or off-specification product to customers, storage tank leaks, other environmental risks, cyberattacks, or other sudden disruption in business operations beyond our control as a result of events such as acts of sabotage, terrorism or war, civil or political unrest, severe weather and natural disasters, large scale power outages and public health epidemics and pandemics. These events and their consequences could negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows, both during and after the period of operational difficulties, and could harm our reputation.

The production and/or processing of the insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides we develop, and the chemicals required, involve the handling, transportation, manufacture or use of certain substances or components that are inherently hazardous due to their toxic or volatile nature. While we take precautions to handle and transport these materials in a safe manner, if they are mishandled or released into the environment, they could cause property damage or result in personal injury claims against us.

***Interruptions at our key facilities may materially reduce the productivity of a particular manufacturing facility, or the profitability of our business as a whole.***

We produce products through a combination of owned facilities and contract manufacturers. We own and operate large-scale active ingredient manufacturing facilities in the U.S. (Mobile), Puerto Rico (Manati), China (Jinshan), Denmark (Ronland), and India (Panoli). Our operating results are dependent in part on the continued operation of these production facilities. Interruptions at these facilities may materially reduce the productivity of a particular manufacturing facility, or the profitability of our business as a whole. Some of the hazards inherent in chemical manufacturing (e.g., spills, explosions, fires) may cause severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment or personal injury and loss of life and may result in suspension of operations or the shutdown of affected facilities. In addition, the occurrence of material operating problems at our facilities, particularly at a facility that is the sole source of a particular product we manufacture, or a disruption in our supply chain or distribution operations may result in loss of production, which, in turn, may make it difficult for us to meet customer needs. Other disruptions in supply chains and distribution channels, including those caused by global or regional logistics delays and constraints, such as rail or other transportation interruptions, could disrupt our business operations. These events and their consequences could negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows, both during and after the period of operational difficulties, and could harm our reputation.

***A shortage or unavailability of trucks, railcars, tugs, barges and ships for carrying our products and the raw materials we use in our business could result in customer dissatisfaction, loss of production or sales and higher transportation or equipment costs.***

We rely heavily upon truck, rail, tug, barge and ocean freight transportation to obtain raw materials needed at our facilities and to deliver our products to our customers. In addition, the cost of transportation is an important part of the final sale price of our products. Finding affordable and dependable transportation is important in obtaining our raw materials and to supply our customers. Higher costs for these transportation services or an interruption or slowdown due to factors including high demand, high fuel prices, labor disputes, layoffs or other factors affecting the availability of qualified transportation workers, adverse weather or other environmental events, or changes to rail, barge or ocean freight systems, could negatively affect our ability to produce our products or deliver them to our customers, which could affect our performance and results of operations.

Strong demand for grain and other products and a strong world economy increases the demand for and reduces the availability of transportation, both domestically and internationally. Shortages of railcars, barges and ocean transport for carrying product and increased transit time causing delays and missed shipments may result in customer dissatisfaction, loss of sales and higher equipment and transportation costs. In addition, during periods when the shipping industry has a shortage of ships, the substantial time needed to build new ships prevents rapid market response.

***We are subject to extensive federal, state, local, and foreign environmental and safety laws, regulations, directives, rules and ordinances concerning, among other things, emissions in the air, discharges to land and water, and the generation, handling, treatment, disposal and remediation of hazardous waste and other materials.***

Governmental agencies may change requirements related to the production, use, emission, disposal or remediation of chemicals or products, including chemicals or products which we may have produced or used in our discontinued operations. We may face liability arising out of the normal course of business or now discontinued operations, including alleged personal injury or property damage due to exposure to chemicals or other hazardous substances at our current or former facilities or chemicals that we manufacture, handle or own. We take our environmental responsibilities very seriously, but there is a risk of environmental impact inherent in our manufacturing operations and transportation of chemicals. Any substantial liability for environmental damage could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

**<u>Risks related to Acquisitions and Divestitures</u>**

***Our exploration of strategic options may not result in entering into or completing transactions, when necessary, and the process of reviewing alternative strategic options or their conclusion could adversely affect our stock price.***

In February 2026, we announced that the Company is engaging in a strategic review to explore options to enhance shareholder value. Potential strategic paths may include partnerships, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions, or licensing transactions, a combination of these, or other strategic transactions. There can be no assurance, however, that our review will result in transactions or other alternatives, even when deemed necessary. There is no set timetable for our strategic process, and we do not intend to provide updates unless or until the Board approves a specific action or otherwise determines that disclosure is appropriate or necessary. There can be no guarantee that the process of evaluating alternative strategic paths will result in our Company entering into or completing potential transactions within the anticipated timing or at all.

Any potential transaction would be dependent on a number of factors that may be beyond our control, including, among other things, market conditions, industry trends, the interest of third parties in a potential transaction with us, obtaining stockholder approval and the availability of financing to third parties in a potential transaction with us on reasonable terms. The process of reviewing alternative strategic paths may be time consuming, may involve the dedication of significant resources and may require us to incur significant costs and expenses. It could negatively impact our ability to attract, retain and motivate employees, and expose us to potential litigation in connection with this process or any resulting transaction. If we are unable to effectively manage the process, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, speculation regarding any developments related to the review of strategic alternatives and perceived uncertainties related to the future of our Company could cause our stock price to fluctuate significantly. Further, any strategic options that may be pursued and completed ultimately may not deliver the anticipated benefits or enhance stockholder value.

***Our financial results could be harmed if we fail to implement the plan to divest the Company's commercial business in India in the expected timeline.***

In July 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the Company's commercial business in India in response to ongoing commercial challenges in the country. The sale process is underway and is expected to conclude in 2026. The assets related to this business are classified as held for sale beginning in the third quarter of 2025. However, we may be unable to find a buyer willing to purchase this business, or may not receive an offer on terms favorable to us. Further, if the sale process becomes protracted, we may have to hold onto the commercial business for longer than anticipated, which may have a continued adverse impact on our financial results. Failure to complete the divestment in the expected timeline and to successfully enter into a supply agreement with the eventual buyer to participate in the India market could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial results.

***The FMC Lithium separation might be interpreted as a taxable event by the IRS or local taxing authorities, subjecting the Company to material tax liabilities.***

We received an opinion from outside counsel to the effect that the spin-off of FMC Lithium as a distribution to our stockholders, completed in March 2019, qualified as a non-taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The opinion is based on certain assumptions and representations as to factual matters from both FMC and FMC Lithium, as well as certain covenants by those parties. The opinion cannot be relied upon if any of the assumptions, representations or covenants are incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate or violated in any material respect. The opinion of counsel is not binding upon the IRS or the courts and there is no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. It is possible that the IRS or a state or local taxing authority could take the position that the aforementioned transaction results in the recognition of significant taxable gain by FMC, in which case FMC may be subject to material tax liabilities.

**<u>Risks related to Portfolio Management</u>**

***Any failure to realize benefits from acquisitions, alliances or joint ventures or to achieve our portfolio management objectives could adversely affect future financial results.***

We continuously review our portfolio which includes the evaluation of potential business acquisitions that may strategically fit our business and strategic growth initiatives. If we are unable to successfully integrate and develop our acquired businesses, we could fail to achieve anticipated synergies including expected cost savings and revenue growth. Failure to achieve these anticipated synergies could materially and adversely affect our financial results. In addition to strategic acquisitions, we evaluate the diversity of our portfolio in light of our objectives and alignment with our growth strategy, which may result in divestiture of underperforming or non-strategic assets. In implementing this strategy, we may not be successful and the gains or losses on the divestiture of or lost operating income from such assets may affect the Company's earnings and debt levels. Moreover, we may incur asset impairment charges related to acquisitions or divestitures that negatively impact earnings and our financial position.

***If we are unable to innovate and successfully introduce new products or new technologies or processes reduce the demand for our products or the price at which we can sell products, our profitability could be adversely affected.***

Our ability to compete successfully depends in part upon our ability to maintain a superior technological capability and to continue to identify, develop and commercialize new and innovative, high value-added products for existing and future customers. Our investment in the discovery and development of new pesticidal active ingredients relies on discovery of new chemical molecules, biological strains or formulations. Such discovery processes depend on our scientists being able to find new molecules, strains and formulations, which are novel and outside of patents held by others, and such molecules/strains/formulations being efficacious against target pests. Our process also depends on our ability to develop those molecules, strains and formulations into new products without creating an undue risk to human health and the environment as well as meeting applicable regulatory criteria. The timeline from active ingredient discovery through full development and product launch averages 8 to 10 years depending on local regulatory requirements; the complexity and duration of developing new products create risks that product concepts may fail during development or, when launched, may not meet then-current market needs or competitive conditions.

***Our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights.***

Our innovation efforts are protected by patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights that cover many of our current products, manufacturing processes, and product uses, as well as many aspects of our research and development activities supporting our new product pipeline. Trademarks protect valuable brands associated with our products. Patents and trademarks are granted by individual jurisdictions and the duration of our patents depends on their respective jurisdictions and payment of annuities. Our future performance will depend on our ability to address expiration of active ingredient composition of matter patents. We are focused on effective enforcement of our patents that continue to cover key chemical intermediates and process patents, as well as portfolio life cycle management, particularly for our high value diamide insecticides for which our composition of matter patents on the active ingredient itself have expired in most countries and our process manufacturing and chemical intermediate patents only a limited remaining duration. See "Patents, Trademarks and Licenses" in Item 1 for more details. Patent and trademark enforcement is subject to the risks inherent in litigation, and our product portfolio life cycle management efforts may not be effective in maintaining our market position or the profitability of our products. If our innovation efforts fail to result in process improvements to reduce costs, such conditions could impede our competitive position. Some of our competitors may secure patents on production methods or uses of products that may limit our ability to compete cost-effectively.

***The composition of matter patents on our Rynaxypyr***<sup>®</sup> ***active and Cyazypyr***<sup>®</sup> ***active ingredients have expired in all major markets, which will affect our ability to compete effectively.***

In addition to the now-expired composition of matter patents for these diamide active ingredients, we also have patents regarding the production of these diamide active ingredients and chemical intermediates involved in such production, which expired in many major markets in December 2025. We compete with generic suppliers of the same pesticidal active ingredients and our competitive risks have increased and are expected to continue to as a result of the expired patents. For these diamide products, we also hold patents on certain formulations (including mixtures), trademark and data exclusivity protection in certain countries which have longer duration. For other products in our commercial and development portfolios, we have a broad estate of intellectual property including patents, trademark and data protection. We intend to strategically and vigorously enforce our patents and other forms of intellectual property against suspected infringers and have done so already against several third parties. However, third parties may seek to enter markets with infringing products or may find alternative production methods that avoid infringement.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

We may not be successful in litigating to enforce our patents due to the risks inherent in any litigation. Patents involve complex factual and legal issues and, thus, the scope, validity or enforceability of any patent claims we have or may obtain cannot be clearly predicted. Patents may be challenged in the courts, as well as in various administrative proceedings before U.S. or foreign patent offices, and may be deemed unenforceable, invalidated or circumvented. We are currently and may in the future be a party to various lawsuits or administrative proceedings involving our patents. See "Patents, Trademarks and Licenses" in Item 1 for more details. Such challenges can result in some or all of the claims of the asserted patent being invalidated or deemed unenforceable. In such circumstances, an adverse patent enforcement decision could lead to the entry of competing products in relevant markets and may result in a material adverse impact our financial results.

**<u>Risks related to our Results of Operations</u>**

***Our significant non-US operations expose us to global exchange rate fluctuations that could adversely impact our profitability.***

We conduct a significant portion of our operations outside the U.S. Consequently, fluctuations in currencies of other countries, especially the Indian rupee, Brazilian real, Euro, Chinese yuan, Mexican peso, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar may materially affect our operating results. Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate revenues, income and expenses, as well as assets and liabilities, into U.S. dollars based on average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting period or the exchange rate at the end of that period. Therefore, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies will affect our net operating revenues, operating income and the cost of balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange rates can also impact the competitiveness of products produced in certain jurisdictions and exported for sale into other jurisdictions. These changes may impact the value received for the sale of our goods versus those of our competitors.

In addition to currency translation risks, we incur a currency transaction risk whenever one of our operating subsidiaries enters into a purchase or sales transaction using a currency different from the operating subsidiary's functional currency. Given the volatility of exchange rates, particularly the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies or the currencies of large developing countries, we may not be able to manage our currency transaction and translation risks effectively.

We use financial instruments to hedge certain exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, but those hedges in most cases cover existing balance sheet exposures and not future transactional exposures. We cannot guarantee that our hedging strategies will be effective. In addition, the use of financial instruments creates counterparty settlement risk. Failure to effectively manage these risks could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

***We could be subject to changes in our tax rates and the adoption of tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities that may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.***

We are subject to taxes in the U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions where our subsidiaries are organized. Due to economic and political conditions, tax rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. Our future effective tax rates could be affected by and may fluctuate because of, among other things, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws or their interpretations, and taxes associated with the repatriation of our non-U.S. earnings. Our tax returns and other tax matters are subject to examination by local tax authorities and governmental bodies. Additionally, we and our subsidiaries are engaged in intercompany transactions across multiple tax jurisdictions. Although we believe we have clearly reflected the economics of these transactions with proper local transfer pricing documentation in place, tax authorities could propose and sustain adjustments. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for taxes. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of these examinations. If our effective tax rates were to increase, or if the ultimate determination of the taxes owed by us is for an amount in excess of amounts previously accrued, our operating results, financial condition, and cash flows could be adversely affected. We, and our subsidiaries, are required to file certain tax returns and information reports with various tax authorities and government bodies. The failure to file returns or information reports could be punishable by civil penalties as well as other remedial measures which could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Additionally, further administrative guidance or other changes to the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GLOBE) rules that cause changes in tax legislation issued by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") could potentially impact certain tax benefits previously received. There is no guarantee that administrative guidance or rules will remain unchanged or that the US government will adopt the global tax rules in accordance with the OECD approach, either of which could impact the value of the incentives granted to us and which could potentially lead to significant future international tax disputes.

***We may incur significant non-cash charges if our long-lived assets become impaired in the future.***

Under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"), we review long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The process of impairment testing involves a number of judgments and estimates made by management, including the fair values of assets and liabilities, future cash flows, our interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, overall economic conditions and our strategic operational plans with regard to our portfolio. If the judgments and estimates used in our analysis are not realized or change due to external factors, then actual results may not be consistent with these judgments and estimates, and our long-lived assets may become impaired in future periods. If our long-lived assets are determined to be impaired in the future, we may be required to record non-cash charges to earnings during the period in which the impairment is determined, which could be significant and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We have, in the past, and may in the future, be required to write down the value of our long-lived assets, and such future write downs could be material.

***Significant changes in pension fund investment performance or assumptions relating to pension costs may have a material effect on the valuation of pension obligations, the funded status of pension plans and our pension cost.***

Our U.S. Qualified Plan has been fully funded for the last several years and as such, the primary investment strategy is a liability hedging approach with an objective of maintaining the funded status of the plan such that the funded status volatility is minimized and the likelihood that we will be required to make significant contributions to the plan is limited. The portfolio is comprised of 100 percent fixed income securities and cash. Our plan assets and obligation under our U.S. Qualified Plan are both in excess of $900 million. Additionally, obligations related to our pension and postretirement plans reflect certain assumptions. To the extent actual experience differs from these assumptions, our costs and funding obligations could increase or decrease significantly. While we provide other defined benefit, defined contribution and postretirement benefits to our employees and retirees, our risk is focused on our U.S. Qualified Plan given its size and impact on our consolidated financial position.

***We may be subject to litigation, which may result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources, which could harm our business.***

We are involved from time to time in legal and regulatory proceedings, which may be material in the future. The outcome of proceedings, lawsuits and claims may differ from our expectations, leading us to change estimates of liabilities and related insurance receivables. Legal and regulatory proceedings, whether with or without merit, and associated internal investigations, may be time-consuming and expensive to prosecute, defend or conduct, may divert management's attention and other resources, inhibit our ability to sell our products, result in adverse judgments for damages, injunctive relief, penalties and fines, and otherwise negatively affect our business. See Note 1 "*Principal Accounting Policies and Related Financial Information*," Note 10 "*Environmental Obligations*" and Note 19 "*Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies*" in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K for a description of our material pending legal proceedings.

***Our operations and the production and handling of our products involve significant risks and hazards. We are not fully insured against all potential hazards and risks incident to our business and as a result, may not be able to adequately cover our losses.***

We maintain property, business interruption, casualty and liability insurance policies, but we are not fully insured against all potential hazards and risks incident to our business, and certain hazards and risks associated with our operations may not be insurable. Some of these hazards can cause bodily injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment and environmental damage and may result in suspension of operations for an extended period of time and/or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties and liabilities. If we were to incur significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are subject to various self-insured retentions, deductibles and limits under these insurance policies. The policies also contain exclusions and conditions that could have a material adverse impact on our ability to receive indemnification thereunder. Our policies are generally renewed annually. As a result of market conditions, our premiums, self-insured retentions and deductibles for certain insurance policies can increase substantially and, in some instances, certain insurance may become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. In addition, significantly increased costs could lead us to decide to reduce, or possibly eliminate, coverage. We may be unable to buy and maintain insurance with adequate limits and reasonable pricing terms and conditions.

**<u>Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock</u>**

***Our stock price has experienced significant volatility and may continue to fluctuate substantially.***

The trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. During 2025, our stock price declined by more than 70% from its 52-week high and, at times, fell over 35% in a single week following earnings announcements and revised revenue guidance. These sharp movements were driven by factors such as competing production of generic products, lower-than-expected demand for crop protection products, inventory normalization across the agricultural supply chain, and broader market conditions. The stock market, and the market for agricultural chemical companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In addition, a large proportion of our common stock has been historically and may in the future be traded by short sellers, which may put pressure on the supply and demand for our common stock, further influencing volatility in its market price. Public perception of our company or management and other factors outside of our control may additionally impact the stock price regardless of actual operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market or the market price of our shares, securities class action litigation has been filed against us. While we defend such actions vigorously, any judgment against us or any future stockholder litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.

***We may fail to meet our publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business, which could cause our stock price to decline.***

From time to time, we provide guidance regarding our expected financial and business performance. Predicting future conditions is inherently uncertain, and our guidance may ultimately prove inaccurate. Our projections depend on assumptions regarding various factors, such as crop protection demand, customer inventory management, competitive pressures from generics, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity and raw material costs, and the timing of product launches or patent expirations. These factors can change rapidly and may not follow a predictable pattern. If our actual results differ materially from our guidance, including as a result of our assumptions not being met or the occurrence of various risks and uncertainties that could impact our financial performance, the market value of our common stock could decline significantly. We have in the past needed to, and may in the future need to, revise guidance downward after weaker-than-expected volumes and pricing. Moreover, our financial results may not meet expectations of equity research analysts, rating agencies, or investors, who may focus on short-term quarterly results. Failure to meet guidance or market expectations could cause the trading price of our stock to decline substantially, either suddenly or over time.

***Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult, may diminish the value of our common stock, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.***

We are incorporated in Delaware. Certain anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law and in our certificate of incorporation and restated by-laws, as currently in effect, may make a change of control of our company more difficult, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our anti-takeover provisions include provisions such as a prohibition on stockholder actions by written consent, the authority of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations, and supermajority voting requirements for specified actions. These provisions may delay or prevent an acquisition of us, even if the acquisition may be considered beneficial by some of our stockholders, and could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock. Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, the existence of these provisions may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock if they are viewed as discouraging future takeover attempts. In addition, they may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management.

***Future cash dividends are subject to final determination by our Board of Directors and are not guaranteed.***

Future cash dividends depend on a variety of factors, including earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, general economic conditions and other factors considered relevant by us. Dividends are subject to final determination by our Board of Directors and the Board, in its discretion, may decide at any time to change our historical dividend practices. Beginning with the dividends paid in January 2026, the Board of Directors significantly reduced the quarterly dividend per share. Our shareholders are not guaranteed, and do not have contractual rights, to receive dividends until declared. Our ability to pay or increase dividends will depend on our operating results and may be restricted by, among other things, covenants in our existing or certain financing agreements we may enter into.

**<u>General Risk Factors</u>:**

***Our results may be affected by changes in distribution channels, which could impact our ability to access the market.*** 

Consolidation of the value chain may limit FMC's access in certain markets. Acquisition of retailers and wholesalers, particularly by competitors, could restrict FMC's distribution footprint. Failure to adapt to similar trends in business to business and business to consumer could place FMC at a competitive disadvantage.

***We may incur material costs and liabilities in complying with government regulations.***

We are subject to the rules and regulations of various governmental agencies, including in the United States, Brazil, China, India, the European Union, Mexico and Argentina and the other countries in which the Company operates. These include rules and regulations administered by governmental agencies at the supranational, federal, state, provincial or local level.

The applicable rules, regulations and guidance promulgated by these and other agencies, which are likely to change over time, affect our operations and may influence our operating results at one or more facilities. Furthermore, the loss of or failure to obtain necessary federal, state, provincial or local permits and registrations at one or more of our facilities could halt or curtail operations at impacted facilities, which could result in impairment charges related to the affected facility and otherwise adversely affect our operating results. In addition, our failure to comply with applicable rules, regulations and guidance, including obtaining or maintaining required operating certificates or permits, could subject us to: (i) administrative penalties and injunctive relief; (ii) civil remedies, including fines, injunctions and product recalls; and/or (iii) adverse publicity. There can be no assurance that we will not incur material costs and liabilities in connection with these rules, regulations and guidance.

Given the competitive nature of our industry, we could be adversely affected by violations of various countries' antitrust, competition and consumer protection laws. These laws generally prohibit companies and individuals from engaging in anticompetitive and unfair business practices. While our policies mandate compliance with these laws, we cannot provide assurance that our internal control policies and procedures will always protect us from violations or reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees, joint venture partners or agents.

***We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws of other countries, as well as trade sanctions administered by the office of Foreign Assets Control and the Department of Commerce.***

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and similar anti-bribery laws of other countries generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making or receiving improper payments to governmental officials or others for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or for other unfair advantage. Our policies mandate compliance with anti-bribery laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. We are also required to comply with U.S. regulations on trade sanctions and embargoes administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), as well as export control regulations administered by the Commerce Department and similar multi-national bodies and governmental agencies worldwide, which are complex and often changing. A violation thereof could subject us to regulatory enforcement actions, including a loss of export privileges and significant civil and criminal penalties and fines.

In addition, we may enter into joint ventures with joint venture partners who are domiciled in areas of the world with anti-bribery laws, regulations and business practices that differ from those in the United States. There is risk that our joint venture partners will violate the FCPA and other anti-bribery laws and regulations, as well as OFAC sanctions.

Although we have internal controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will prevent a violation of these laws. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

***Our success depends upon our ability to identify, attract, retain and develop key personnel and the succession of senior management.***

Our success largely depends on the performance of our management team and other key associates. If our compensation and benefits, talent management, or cultural programs and practices are not competitive, or employees otherwise become more difficult to attract or retain under reasonable terms, we may experience higher labor-related costs and may be unable to attract, retain, develop and progress a qualified workforce, which could adversely affect our business and future success and impair our ability to meet our strategic objectives and the needs of our customers. We operate in markets where business ethics and local customs may differ from our company standards, increasing the risk of impropriety and regulatory enforcement. Significant effort is required to ensure that the right mix of resources are trained, engaged and focused on achieving business objectives while adhering to our core values of safety, ethics and compliance.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

In addition, if we are unable to effectively provide for the succession of senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected. While we maintain an ongoing succession planning process and have succession plans in place for senior management and other key associates, these do not guarantee that the services of qualified senior executives will continue to be available to us at particular moments in time.

***Our business has been and could continue to be adversely affected by economic and political changes in the markets where we compete.***

The following have and could continue to adversely affect our business: trade restrictions, tariff increases or potential new tariffs, foreign ownership restrictions and economic embargoes imposed by the U.S. or any of the foreign countries in which we do business; changes in laws, taxation, and regulations and the interpretation and application of these laws, taxes, and regulations; restrictions imposed by the U.S. government or foreign governments through exchange controls or taxation policy; nationalization or expropriation of property, undeveloped property rights, and legal systems or political instability; other governmental actions; inflation rates and inflationary pressures leading to higher input costs, recessions; and other external factors over which we have no control. While inflationary pressures have recently eased, a resurgence of these conditions may negatively impact our revenue, gross and operating margins, and net income. Economic and political conditions within the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions or strained relations between countries could result in fluctuations in demand, price volatility, loss of property, state sponsored cyberattacks, supply disruptions, or other disruptions. An open conflict or war across any region significant to our business could result in plant closures, employee displacement, and an inability to obtain key supplies and materials. Current U.S. tariff policies may increase the costs of goods being imported into the U.S., and other nations may impose new or different tariffs or other trade sanctions that increase the cost of our importing into those other nations, which we may not be able to mitigate or avoid, leading to increased costs of materials and/or other trade disruptions. The current military conflict between Russia and Ukraine could disrupt or otherwise adversely impact our operations in Ukraine; and related sanctions, export controls or other actions that may be initiated by nations including the U.S., the European Union or Russia (e.g., potential cyberattacks, disruption of energy flows, etc.) could adversely affect our business and/or our supply chain, business partners or customers in other countries beyond Ukraine. In Argentina, continued inflation and foreign exchange controls could adversely affect our business. Losses may be incurred as a result of various government actions in the country such as the devaluation of the Argentine peso, changes in tax policies, and changes in capital controls/policies. Realignment of change in regional economic arrangements could have an operational impact on our businesses. Our enforcement of intellectual property rights in jurisdictions outside of the United States may be impacted by geopolitical tensions between the United States and those other countries. In China, unpredictable enforcement of environmental regulations could result in unanticipated shutdowns in broad geographic areas, impacting our contract manufacturers and raw material suppliers.

***Our business is subject to risks associated with sourcing and manufacturing outside of the U.S. and risks from tariffs and/or international trade wars.***

We import many of our raw materials and finished goods from countries outside of the United States, including but not limited to China. Our import operations are subject to complex customs laws, regulations, tax requirements, forced labor laws and trade regulations, such as tariffs set by governments, either through mutual agreements or bilateral actions. Tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., particularly goods from China and India, have increased the cost of the goods we purchase. Additional tariffs and protectionist duties could be imposed by the U.S. with relatively short notice to us. These governmental actions could have, and any similar future actions may have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The overall effect of these risks is that our costs may increase or we may experience supply disruptions, which in turn may result in lower profitability if we are unable to offset such increases through higher prices, and/or that we may suffer a decline in sales if our customers do not accept price increases.

***Our information technology systems and systems operated by our vendors and third parties could be penetrated by outside parties' intent on observing or gathering information, extracting information, corrupting information, deploying ransomware, or disrupting business processes.***

Remote and other work arrangements may leave the Company more vulnerable to a cyberattack. Our systems and those of our vendors and third parties have in the past been, and will likely be in the future, subject to unauthorized access attempts. Implementing system updates or security patches in an untimely manner could leave our company exposed to security breaches. Unauthorized access to our networks or systems could disrupt our business operations and potentially result in failures or interruptions in our information systems, lockouts due to ransomware, or in the loss of assets and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We engage in response planning, simulations, trainings, tabletop exercises, and other efforts to mitigate risks associated with cybersecurity.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

Breaches of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, or unapproved dissemination of proprietary, sensitive, confidential or personal information about the Company, our employees, our vendors, or our customers, could result in litigation, violations of applicable data privacy regulations, and liability for the Company. We have not experienced a significant or material impact from these events to date and we may need to expend significant resources to maintain or continue to mature our protective and preventative measures to stay abreast of the ever-changing cybersecurity threat landscape. We maintain a multifaceted cybersecurity program designed to identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover from a cybersecurity event. We ensure that the program is aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") Cybersecurity Framework. While we have taken measures to assess the requirements of, and to comply with the rapidly growing cybersecurity and data privacy regulations in multiple jurisdictions, these measures may be challenged by authorities that regulate cybersecurity and privacy-related compliance. We could incur significant expense in facilitating and responding to investigations and if the measures we have taken prove to be inadequate, we could face fines or penalties. This could damage our reputation, or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

We have been and will continue to be subject to advanced and persistent threats in the areas of information and operational technology security and fraud. We rely on information and operational technology systems, including tools that utilize artificial intelligence, to conduct our business. We seek to prevent unauthorized access, maintain the confidentiality and the integrity of our information and operational technology systems and strive to detect and investigate any cybersecurity incidents that may occur, however, despite these efforts and our operation of a cybersecurity program aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, we may, in some, cases, still be unaware of a particular incident or its magnitude and effects. We may face increased information technology security, continuity and fraud risks due in part to our business efforts to digitize certain operations at our manufacturing sites to increase efficiencies and to our continued reliance on many employees working remotely part of the time, which may create additional information security vulnerabilities and/or magnify the impact of any disruption in information technology systems.

To the extent that any security breach impacts operations at our manufacturing sites, we may experience production or shipping disruptions. To the extent that any security breach results in inappropriate disclosure of our employees', customers' or vendors' confidential or personally identifiable information, we may incur liability or suffer reputational damage in the marketplace as a result. We maintain cyber/information security insurance, but any losses may be beyond the limits, or outside the coverage, of our policy.

Information and operational security threats and methods of perpetrating fraud or misappropriating information are constantly evolving and becoming more complex, which increases the difficulty and expense of defending against these threats. In addition, the devotion of additional resources to the security of our information or operational technology systems in the future could significantly increase the cost of doing business or otherwise adversely impact our financial results.

***We operate on a single global instance of SAP, which makes our Company vulnerable to system and hardware changes***.

Unmanaged or poorly managed system and hardware changes across the enterprise may disrupt operations, introduce vulnerabilities, and result in increased maintenance.

***Artificial intelligence could subject the Company to loss through various internal and external risks.***

The pace of artificial intelligence advancements, including generative artificial intelligence, and its complex and dynamic regulatory environment subjects the Company to a variety of risks. This includes risks to the privacy and security of the Company's data, such as unauthorized disclosures of data which could be used to the detriment of the Company. Artificial intelligence also introduces tools that could be used for malicious purposes, such as advanced deceitful communication methods used to harm the Company. Artificial intelligence also subjects the Company to potential competitive disadvantages in its business and missed innovation opportunities. In addition, improper or unauthorized use of artificial intelligence tools, or inadequate governance over such tools, could increase the risk of data leakage, inaccurate outputs, regulatory non-compliance, or other adverse impacts.

***Disruptions in the global credit, financial and/or currency markets could limit our access to credit or otherwise harm our financial results, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.*** 

We rely on cash generated from operations and external financing to fund our growth and working capital needs. Limitations on access to external financing could adversely affect our operating results. Moreover, interest payments, dividends and the expansion of our business or other business opportunities may require significant amounts of capital. We believe that our cash from operations and available borrowings under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2022 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), will be sufficient to meet these needs in the foreseeable future. However, if we need external financing, our access to credit markets and pricing of our capital will be dependent upon maintaining sufficient credit ratings from credit rating agencies and the state of the capital markets generally.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

There can be no assurances that we would be able to obtain equity or debt financing on terms we deem acceptable, and it is possible that the cost of any financings could increase, thereby increasing our expenses and decreasing our net income. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or raise adequate external financing, including as a result of disruptions in the global credit markets, we could be forced to restrict our operations and growth opportunities, which could adversely affect our operating results.

***Our current indebtedness could have a negative impact on our liquidity or restrict our activities.***

We plan to meet our liquidity needs through available cash, cash generated from operations and borrowings under our committed Revolving Credit Facility as well as other liquidity facilities, and in certain instances access to debt capital markets. If we are not able to maintain compliance with the covenants under our debt agreements, and in the event of a default in our Revolving Credit Facility or any of our senior notes, we could be required to immediately repay all outstanding borrowings and make cash deposits as collateral for all obligations the facility supports, which we may not be able to do. Our current level of indebtedness could result in a higher portion of cash flow from operations being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our debt, which may reduce cash flows available to fund our operations, capital expenditures, and other business opportunities. Our indebtedness could also hinder our ability to pursue strategic transactions that we would otherwise consider to be in the best interests of stockholders.

Our ability to meet certain restrictive covenants and guarantees in our debt instruments will be subject to economic conditions and to financial, market, and competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control. If our business does not perform in line with current expectations, we will be at risk of non-compliance with such covenants and guarantees. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default. Any default under any of our credit arrangements could cause a default under many of our other credit agreements and debt instruments. Without waivers from lenders party to those agreements, any such default could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue to operate. In 2025, we entered into several amendments to our Revolving Credit Facility to adjust certain financial covenants in the agreement to provide additional financial flexibility given current market challenges. While we have been able to secure amendments or waivers with respect to our existing credit agreements, there is no assurance that our lenders would provide waivers for or agree to amendments in the future should we encounter difficulties in complying with our financial covenants.

***Recent credit rating downgrades and potential future downgrades could increase our financing costs and limit access to capital.***

The major rating agencies routinely evaluate our credit profile and assign credit ratings to us. In recent months, our long-term credit ratings were downgraded below investment grade by the major rating agencies, primarily due to increased leverage, generics competitive pressures, and weaker earnings performance. These downgrades have already increased our cost of borrowing and may limit the availability of certain financing sources. If we need to raise additional capital in the future, for example, to maintain adequate liquidity, refinance maturing obligations, or fund strategic initiatives, our non-investment-grade status could result in higher financing costs and more restrictive terms. Further downgrades could exacerbate these challenges. In addition, our ability to retire or refinance debt to levels acceptable to rating agencies in a timely manner may affect our future credit profile and financial flexibility.

The Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to our Revolving Credit Facility in December 2025, which includes certain restrictive covenants and guarantees. Among these restrictions, the amendment provides that the Company will grant a lien over substantially all of its assets, subject to customary exceptions, upon the occurrence of the Company receiving a public debt rating from any two of S&P, Fitch or Moody's that is below "BB+" (in the case of S&P and Fitch) or below "Ba1" (in the case of Moody's), as applicable. A trigger of such a provision could adversely affect our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

***Deterioration in the global economy and worldwide credit and foreign exchange markets could adversely affect our business.*** 

A worsening of global or regional economic conditions or financial markets could adversely affect both our own and our customers ability to meet the terms of sale or our suppliers ability to perform all their commitments to us. A slowdown in economic growth in our international markets, or a deterioration of credit or foreign exchange markets could adversely affect customers, suppliers and our overall business there. Customers in weakened economies may be unable to purchase our products, or it could become more expensive for them to purchase imported products in their local currency, or sell their commodities at prevailing international prices, and we may be unable to collect receivables from such customers.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

***Our financial results could be harmed if we are not successful in executing our strategy and initiatives in connection with our restructuring programs, including Project Foundation.***

We may need to implement activities under a restructuring program to manage market pressures and other risks should they negatively impact our results of operations. In December 2025, we announced management's comprehensive plan, referred to as Project Foundation, to further optimize FMC's cost structure and organizational operations. The restructuring program includes exiting certain high-cost active ingredient and formulation plants and transitioning production to lower-cost sources as well as implementing cost-reduction initiatives in Asia. Project Foundation may take longer than expected to implement, may result in higher-than-anticipated costs or operational disruptions, and may not achieve the expected efficiencies, cost savings or strategic objectives. In addition, the restructuring may adversely affect employee retention and productivity and could result in the loss of key personnel. Any of these factors could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***The Company relies in many countries and in varying degrees on distribution channels to access the market and reach farmers or other end use customers.*** 

An abrupt and widespread shift in purchasing behaviors by channel partners and end-use customers has, in the past, negatively and materially impacted and may, in the future, negatively and materially impact the Company's volumes across important markets and our results of operations. Such adverse effects could include, but are not limited to, materially reduced volumes purchased by customers resulting in reduced sales as well as higher volumes of unsold inventory and excess raw materials and correspondingly increased carrying costs.

**ITEM 1B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS**

None.

**ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY** 

*Cybersecurity Processes*

As noted in Item 1A. Risk Factors, FMC recognizes that the threat of cybersecurity breaches may create significant risks for the Company. Accordingly, we are committed to an ongoing and comprehensive program to protect all company data, as well as data in our supply chain, from these threats. Our cybersecurity program includes governance defined by IT policies and standards and a robust IT risk management program. FMC uses several tools and controls to manage IT risk including, but not limited to, controls for the management of privileged access, anti-malware tools, required trainings for employees including an annual training module, simulated email phishing attacks, and other email security tools to detect and prevent intrusions as well as monitor threats. FMC employees have access to formal IT policies that define and clarify expected behaviors with respect to IT resources in various areas. The Company has a Cyber Incident Response Plan, which establishes procedures to prepare for and respond to a variety of cyber incidents, and engages in response planning, simulations, trainings, tabletop exercises, and other efforts to mitigate risk and prepare for a rapid response to any incidents should they occur. FMC performs a thorough security review prior to onboarding critical third-party providers, which includes review of third-party independent assessments in the form of SOC reports prior to contracting. SOC reports are also reviewed on an annual basis once the third-party is engaged. Additionally, our contracts with third-party providers require those organizations to notify FMC of any cyber incident that occurs when our information has been impacted.

Periodically, the Company has its cybersecurity programs audited by independent third parties using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which provides guidance to organizations on how to identify, prevent, detect, respond, and recover from cybersecurity threats.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

*Management Oversight in Cybersecurity Governance*

FMC's senior management Executive Committee and Leadership Team, which includes the Chief Executive Officer and all Company vice presidents, is responsible for review and oversight of the Company's cybersecurity programs and risk assessment as well as the strategic direction of the program to address evolving risks. Steven Kipp, Director of IT Security and Compliance, serves as management's expert in cybersecurity management and reports to the Andi Le, Chief Digital Officer and member of FMC's Leadership Team. Mr. Kipp is responsible for administering the Company's information security program, including processes for cybersecurity risk assessment, compliance with applicable security and data protection requirements, and coordination of incident response activities. He has more than forty years of leadership experience in information security and counterintelligence roles across the military, defense, and corporate sectors. Mr. Kipp holds advanced degrees in Strategic Intelligence and Business Management and has completed executive level security training at the Wharton School. He also engages with industry and government partners to obtain and apply timely threat intelligence and relevant best practices to support the protection and resilience of the Company's information assets. Additionally, Andrew Sandifer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has completed continuing professional education courses covering the role of management and the board of directors in cybersecurity governance. Members of the management team are encouraged to engage in education opportunities related to cybersecurity.

FMC has established a process to assess the nature, scope and timing of a cyber incident and communicate the facts of the incident to management and the board of directors and, if needed, investors. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, the incident response team, which is managed by IT personnel, is responsible for ensuring the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the Executive Committee and Leadership Team are notified in a timely manner. For any cybersecurity incident, there will be a cross-functional review, including the IT, legal, and finance teams, to evaluate qualitative and quantitative factors related to the incident to determine if the impact of the event is material. Individuals from other departments may be involved in this review depending on the facts and circumstances of the incident. These individuals will be responsible for responding to the event and monitoring the impacts on the Company's operations, financial position, and results of operations. This team will also evaluate cyber incidents in the aggregate if related events occur. During the response and recovery related to a cyber incident, this team will meet daily or weekly depending on the severity of the event and continuously evaluate the nature, scope, and timing of the event. Members of the senior management, including the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, and General Counsel, as well as the Chief Digital Officer and Director of IT Security and Compliance will be briefed as to the facts and circumstances of a cyber incident and determine if the event is considered material to the business. If such determination is made, the matter will be escalated to Board of Directors. For material incidents, the Company will provide information regarding the nature and scope of the incident to investors in compliance with SEC regulations. Throughout this process and the recovery following an incident, the Company is focused on considering the ever-changing facts and circumstances of the event and remaining as transparent with the investment community as possible.

During 2025, FMC did not directly experience a cybersecurity breach in any FMC system. During 2025, we did receive notification of cybersecurity breaches affecting third-party vendors, but none were material in nature for FMC.

*Board of Directors Oversight in Cybersecurity Governance*

FMC's Board of Directors oversees the Company's cybersecurity program primarily through its Audit Committee, which is comprised of independent directors whose prior work experience provides them with insights as to potential cybersecurity risks and mitigation strategies. Company executives along with external and internal cybersecurity experts update the Audit Committee at least quarterly on risks related to cybersecurity and the steps taken to monitor and control risk exposure. Additionally, the results of periodic audits performed on the Company's cybersecurity programs, described above, are communicated to the Audit Committee upon completion.

In addition to the routine updates provided to the Audit Committee, FMC has an established policy for communication of cybersecurity incidents with the Board of Directors and, if material, the investor community. Refer to the discussion above for further details of this policy.

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Includes shares purchased in open market transactions by the independent trustee of the FMC Corporation Non-Qualified Savings and Investment Plan ("NQSP").

In February 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of the Company's common stock. In connection with an amendment to the Company's credit agreement in November 2023, the Company agreed that it will not repurchase shares, with the exception of share repurchases under our equity compensation plans. Therefore, there were no share repurchases under the publicly announced repurchase program during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. As part of the amendments entered into in February 2025 and described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company agreed that it will not repurchase shares until December 31, 2028. At December 31, 2025, approximately $825 million remained unused under our Board-authorized repurchase program. This repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price targets and may be suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be purchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. We also reacquire shares from time to time from employees in connection with the vesting, exercise and forfeiture of awards under our equity compensation plans. In addition, the independent trustee of our non-qualified deferred compensation plan reacquires shares from time to time through open-market purchases relating to investments by employees in our common stock, one of the investment options available under the Plan.

**ITEM 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

**Overview**

FMC Corporation is a global agricultural sciences company dedicated to providing farmers innovative solutions that increase the productivity and resilience of their land. We operate in a single distinct business segment. We develop, market and sell all three major classes of crop protection chemicals (insecticides, herbicides and fungicides) as well as biologicals, crop nutrition, and seed treatment products, which we group as plant health. FMC's innovative crop protection solutions help growers produce food, feed, fiber and fuel for an expanding world population while adapting to a changing environment. FMC is committed to discovering new insecticide, herbicide, and fungicide active ingredients, product formulations and pioneering technologies that are consistently better for the planet.

**FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION**

**Statement under the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: FMC and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are "forward-looking" and provide other than historical information, including statements contained herein, in FMC's other filings with the SEC, and in reports or letters to FMC stockholders.**

In some cases, FMC has identified forward-looking statements by such words or phrases as "will likely result," "is confident that," "expect," "expects," "should," "could," "may," "will continue to," "believe," "believes," "anticipates," "predicts," "forecasts," "estimates," "projects," "potential," "intends" or similar expressions identifying "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the negative of those words and phrases. Such forward-looking statements are based on management's current views and assumptions regarding future events, future business conditions and the outlook for the company based on currently available information. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement. Additional factors include, among other things, the risk factors and other cautionary statements filed with the SEC included within this Form 10-K as well as other SEC filings and public communications. FMC cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the above cautionary statement. FMC undertakes no obligation, and specifically disclaims any duty, to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated events, except as otherwise required by law.

**India Held for Sale Business** 

In July 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the Company's commercial business in India in response to ongoing commercial challenges in the country. FMC plans to continue to actively participate in the India market through a supply agreement with the eventual buyer of the business for its patented and data-protected portfolio, ranging from new diamide technologies to active ingredients and biologicals. The Company will continue its active ingredients manufacturing operations in India. The sale process is underway and is expected to conclude in 2026; and, therefore, the assets related to this business are classified as held for sale beginning in the third quarter of 2025. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to complete the divestment in the expected timeline and on favorable terms, or that we will be able to successfully enter into a supply agreement with the buyer. Although the business does not qualify for recognition as discontinued operations and will continue to be presented in the Company's reported results until a transaction is completed, we believe excluding India's operating results from our non-GAAP measures during the held for sale period, beginning with the third quarter of 2025, provides management and investors with useful supplemental information regarding our ongoing financial performance. In preparation for the sale, we took a series of target actions to optimize the business for transfer and reflect its fair value.

*Total adjustment - approximately $522 million*

The assets associated with the India commercial business held a carrying value of approximately $960 million at June 30, 2025. We evaluated the fair value of the assets associated with the business and determined the estimated fair value less costs to sell to be $450 million. Accordingly, we recorded $522 million of charges and write-downs in 2025 as a result of one-time commercial actions to prepare the India business for sale and an asset impairment charge in accordance with the held-for-sale accounting standards. This adjustment was reflected across multiple income statement line items as presented in the table below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating results, substantially pre-sale commercial adjustments ($320 million): These one-time actions commenced during the period included product returns and pricing changes designed to (1) accelerate receivables collection, (2) optimize the working capital mix of receivables and inventory, and (3) address contemporaneous changes in local indirect taxation. These adjustments impacted both the *Revenue* and *Cost of sales and services* line items on the consolidated statement of income (loss), resulting in revenue charges for the India business in the third quarter of 2025. These actions were taken in both collaboration with and in anticipation of customer behavior stemming from known indirect tax implications and broader market dynamics. These steps will help mitigate collection and local tax risks and position the business for a stronger sale outcome. The $320 million is made up of revenue charges of $422 million, a credit to cost of sales of $128 million and SG&A charges of $26 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Asset impairment ($195 million): Following the commercial adjustments, we evaluated the remaining carrying value of the net assets associated with the business. The difference between the adjusted carrying value and the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, was recorded as an asset impairment, reflected within the *Restructuring and Other Charges* line item on the consolidated statement of income (loss).

*Balance sheet impact -* The combination of commercial adjustments and impairment resulted in a write-down of the net assets identified as held for sale to $450 million, as presented on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.

***2025 Highlights***

The following are the more significant developments in our businesses during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In December 2025, the Board of Directors approved management's comprehensive plan, referred to as Project Foundation, to further optimize FMC's cost structure and organizational operations. A key component of this initiative is the Manufacturing Restructuring Program, which focuses on redesigning FMC's manufacturing footprint and includes exiting certain high-cost active ingredient and formulation plants and transitioning production to lower-cost sources. These actions are intended to create a cost-competitive structure that enables FMC's products to better compete with generics while fully leveraging its innovative technology portfolio. In addition, we are implementing cost-reduction initiatives in Asia to reflect the smaller scale of the region's business following the planned sale of the India commercial operations. We intend to continue to right-size our cost base and optimize the overall organizational structure, with a sustained focus on driving cost improvements and productivity amid ongoing challenges. However, these actions may take longer than expected to implement, may result in higher-than-anticipated costs or operational disruptions, and may not achieve the expected efficiencies, cost savings or strategic objectives. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we incurred non-cash asset write-off and accelerated depreciation costs of $155.7 million primarily associated with the planned exit of certain production activities, other miscellaneous charges, including professional service provider costs, of $14.5 million and severance and employee separation costs of $1.8 million in connection with Project Foundation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue of $3,467.4 million in 2025 decreased $778.7 million or approximately 18 percent versus last year primarily driven by one-time commercial actions taken to position the India business for sale. Excluding those actions which resulted in revenue charges for the India business beginning in the third quarter of 2025, revenue decreased 8 percent versus the prior year driven by a 6 percent price decline, roughly half of which was due to adjustments for certain diamide partners on "cost-plus" contracts. The remaining price decline was mostly attributed to competitive pressure on core portfolio products. On a regional basis, sales in Europe, Middle East and Africa increased by 4 percent, sales in Latin America decreased by 3 percent, and sales in North America decreased 6 percent. Sales in Asia, which included the adjustments for one-time commercial actions in India, decreased approximately 83 percent. A more detailed review of revenue excluding the commercial actions related to the India held for sale business is discussed under the section titled <u>["Results of Operations."](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_94)</u>

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our gross margin of $1,283.0 million decreased by $365.9 million or approximately 22 percent versus the prior year gross margin of $1,648.9 million. Gross margin as a percent of revenue was 37 percent for the year ending December 31, 2025. Excluding the impact of the one-time commercial actions, our gross margin as a percent of revenue was 41 percent, which increased compared to a gross margin percentage of 39 percent in the prior year as a result of continued cost improvement partially offset by lower pricing during the period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $644.6 million to $684.9 million, or approximately 6 percent versus the prior year period to support investment in new products. Research and development expenses of $266.1 million decreased $11.9 million or 4 percent. The decrease in spending on research and development relates to the timing of project expenses as well as continued cost reduction efforts in connection with restructuring activities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Net loss attributable to FMC stockholders of $2,238.9 million decreased $2,580.0 million compared to net income attributable to FMC stockholders of $341.1 million in the prior year primarily driven by a significant increase in restructuring and other charges recorded during the period. As a result of the significant decrease in our stock price during the fourth quarter of 2025, we performed a test of our goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. We recorded a $1,356.2 million write-off of our remaining goodwill balance in connection with the impairment test. Additionally, as previously mentioned, we recorded $522 million of charges and write-downs in 2025 as a result of one-time commercial actions to prepare the India commercial business for sale and an asset impairment charge in accordance with the held-for-sale accounting standards. Adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations attributable to FMC stockholders of $372.0 million decreased $64.3 million or approximately 15 percent. See the disclosure of our adjusted earnings non-GAAP financial measurement under the section titled ["Results of Operations"](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_49).

***2026 Priorities and Strategic Review***

In 2026, we plan to focus on executing our operational priorities, one of which is strengthening the balance sheet by paying down debt through asset sales and licensing agreements, including the previously announced sale of our India commercial business which is classified as held for sale. Our priorities also include improving the competitiveness of the company's legacy core portfolio, managing the post-patent transition for Rynaxypyr<sup>®</sup> active, and supporting the growth of new active ingredients, such as Isoflex<sup>®</sup> active, fluindapyr, Dodhylex<sup>™</sup> active and rimisoxafen. However, we expect continued pressure on price during the year due to competitive market dynamics for core portfolio products and lower Rynaxypyr<sup>®</sup> active pricing. We will maintain our focus on reducing costs, which are expected to be lower for the full year despite expected pressure in the first quarter due to the timing of tariffs and manufacturing variances.

Additionally, as announced in February 2026, the Board of Directors has authorized the exploration of strategic options, including but not limited to, the sale of the company. FMC's four new active ingredients, along with its broader development pipeline, are unique and transformative. The company believes there is significant opportunity to enhance shareholder value and ensure the long-term success of our portfolio by accelerating growth and delivering enhanced financial results with additional investment in these technologies. The strategic review is at a preliminary stage, and there can be no assurance that the process will result in any transaction.

**Results of Operations — 2025, 2024 and 2023** 

**Overview**

The following charts provide a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted Earnings, revenue excluding India, organic revenue growth and return on invested capital ("ROIC"), all of which are non-GAAP financial measures, from the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA, revenue excluding India, and organic revenue growth are provided to assist the readers of our financial statements with useful information regarding our operating results. Our operating results are presented based on how we assess operating performance and internally report financial information. For management purposes, we report operating performance based on earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, discontinued operations, and corporate special charges. Our adjusted earnings measure excludes corporate special charges, net of income taxes, discontinued operations attributable to FMC stockholders, net of income taxes, and certain non-GAAP tax adjustments. Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the operating results of the India commercial business during the held for sale period are excluded from our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Earnings measures. The adjustments previously noted, as well as the India held for sale business, are excluded by us in the measure we use to evaluate business performance and determine certain performance-based compensation. Organic revenue growth excludes the impacts of foreign currency changes and the India held for sale business during the held for sale period beginning in the third quarter of 2025, which we believe is a meaningful metric to evaluate our revenue changes. These items are discussed in detail within the "Other Results of Operations" section that follows. In addition to providing useful information about our operating results to investors, we also believe that excluding the effect of corporate special charges, net of income taxes, and certain non-GAAP tax adjustments from operating results and discontinued operations allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of our underlying business from period to period. These measures should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss) or other measures of performance or liquidity reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(1)Referred to as operating profit.

(2)Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating profit excluding corporate special charges (income), depreciation and amortization expense, and the India held for sale business.

(3)The year ended December 31, 2025 includes charges incurred in connection with a shutdown of a product line at one of our manufacturing sites as part of Project Focus of $17.3 million, which are recorded to *"Cost of Sales and services"* on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Charges of $1,758.4 million recorded as *"Restructuring and other charges (income)"* on the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 are also included in the reconciliation above. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for details of restructuring and other charges (income).

(4)Our non-operating pension and postretirement charges (income) are defined as those costs (benefits) related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These are excluded from our operating results and are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and we consider these costs to be outside our operational performance. We continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in our operating results noted above. These elements reflect the current year operating costs to our business for the employment benefits provided to active employees. The year ended December 31, 2025 also includes other charges of $3.3 million incurred as a make-whole premium in connection with the early redemption of $500 million of the Senior Notes due May 18, 2026.

(5)Beginning with the third quarter of 2025, the operating results of the India commercial business are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA during the held for sale period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we have excluded $521.7 million in charges and write-downs related to the India held for sale business including charges of $319.8 million recognized in connection with one-time commercial actions to position the India business for sale, asset impairment charges of $194.8 million to record the assets held for sale to their estimated fair value less costs to sell, and $7.1 million in third party provider costs incurred in connection with the transaction. The one-time commercial actions to prepare the India business for sale resulted in a decrease to the *Revenue* and *Cost of sales and services* line items on the consolidated statement of income (loss) and the impairment charges as well as third party provider costs were recorded to *Restructuring and other charges (income)* on the consolidated statement of income (loss).

(1)Represents restructuring and other charges (income), and non-operating pension, postretirement and other charges (income). The year ended December 31, 2025 includes charges incurred in connection with a shutdown of a product line at one of our manufacturing sites as part of Project Focus of $17.3 million, which are recorded to *"Cost of Sales and services"* on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Charges of $1,758.4 million recorded as *"Restructuring and other charges (income)"* on the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 are also included in the reconciliation above.

(2)Beginning with the third quarter of 2025, we excluded the operating results of the India commercial business from our adjusted earnings during the held for sale period for non-GAAP purposes. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we have excluded $521.7 million of charges and write-offs in connection with the India held for sale business as a result of one-time commercial actions to prepare the India business for sale and an asset impairment charge in accordance with the held-for-sale accounting standards. For further details, refer to note 5 in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation above.

(3)The income tax expense (benefit) on Corporate special charges (income) is determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which the Corporate special charge or income occurred and includes both current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) based on the nature of the non-GAAP performance measure.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

(4)We exclude the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the non-GAAP measure of income, and include a non-GAAP tax provision based upon the projected annual non-GAAP effective tax rate. The GAAP tax provision includes certain discrete tax items including, but are not limited to: income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to continuing operating results in the current year; tax adjustments associated with fluctuations in foreign currency remeasurement of certain foreign operations; certain changes in estimates of tax matters related to prior fiscal years; certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets and related interim accounting impacts; and changes in tax law. In 2024 and 2023, we recorded significant deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance, due to various tax incentives granted to the Company's Swiss subsidiaries (the "Swiss Tax Incentives"). The initial recognition of these Swiss Tax Incentives did not impact our adjusted non-GAAP effective tax rate but will be considered annually as we realize the benefits. Management believes excluding these discrete tax items, as well as the impacts of the Swiss Tax Incentives, assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to continuing operating results thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about FMC's operational performance. Refer to the explanation below on the provision for income taxes for further detail of the non-GAAP tax adjustments for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

(5)The average number of shares outstanding used in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 diluted adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations per share computation (non-GAAP) includes 0.4 million diluted shares. This number of shares differs from the average number of shares outstanding used in diluted earnings per share computations (GAAP) as we had a net loss from continuing operations attributable to FMC stockholders during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Per share amounts may differ due to the average number of outstanding shares used in the calculation.

**Results of Operations**

In the discussion below, all comparisons are between the periods unless otherwise noted. In certain instances, parts included in the variance explanations in the discussion below may not sum to the total variance for the financial statement line item due to rounding.

<u>Revenue</u>

**2025 vs. 2024** 

Revenue of $3,467.4 million decreased $778.7 million, or approximately 18 percent versus the prior year period primarily driven by revenue charges in India due to one-time commercial actions to prepare the India business for sale. Excluding the India held for sale business beginning in the third quarter of 2025, revenue decreased 8 percent versus the prior period driven by a price decline of 6 percent, roughly half of which was due to adjustments for certain diamide partners on "cost-plus" contracts. The remaining price decline was attributed to competitive pressure on core portfolio products and price reductions for branded Rynaxypyr® active. Volume improved 1 percent driven by increased demand for new active ingredients and expanded market access in Brazil. Foreign currency impacts were essentially flat to prior year. The removal of India revenue for the second half of 2025 as compared to the inclusion of India revenue in 2024 accounted for a decrease in revenue of approximately 3 percent during the period.

**2024 vs. 2023**

Revenue of $4,246.1 million decreased $240.7 million, or approximately 5 percent versus the prior year period. Volume improved as the year progressed and resulted in a 3 percent increase in revenue year over year. Price and foreign currency impacts were headwinds during the period of 6 percent and 2 percent, respectively. Higher volume was driven by the Company's growth portfolio, and particularly the new active ingredients Isoflex<sup>®</sup> active and fluindapyr.

1. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we took several one-time commercial actions to prepare the India commercial business for sale. These one-time actions to position the India business for sale resulted in revenue charges of $421.9 million for the India business in 2025 and included the recognition of actual inventory returns during the period, an increase to the reserve for future sales returns, and various pricing actions to assist with the acceleration of receivable collection.

**2025 vs. 2024** 

<u>North America:</u> Revenue decreased approximately 6 percent in the year ended December 31, 2025 driven by lower volumes from customers in the U.S. delaying purchases during the first quarter and expected destocking in Canada during the second quarter. Solid branded growth in the U.S., most notably in the growth portfolio, partially offset the impact of lower volumes. Lower pricing, primarily for branded products, also contributed to the decrease during the period.

<u>Latin America:</u> Revenue decreased approximately 3 percent for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily due to lower pricing and limited volume growth driven by generic pressure in the market. In addition, low liquidity caused customer credit constraints in Brazil and Argentina and acted as a further inhibitor to growth. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by direct sales to cotton growers in Brazil and sales of new active ingredients fluindapyr and Isoflex<sup>®</sup> active.

<u>EMEA:</u> Revenue increased approximately 4 percent (up approximately 3 percent organically) driven by strong volume gains mainly in the growth portfolio and aided by the recent launch of Isoflex<sup>®</sup> active in Great Britain.

<u>Asia:</u> Revenue decreased approximately 83 percent compared to the prior year period primarily due to one-time commercial actions to prepare the India commercial business for sale. Revenue excluding India (non-GAAP) for the year ended December 31, 2025 was down 33 percent (down approximately 32 percent organically) year-over-year primarily due to lower volumes and significant pricing pressure caused by generic competition in the region.

**2024 vs. 2023** 

<u>North America:</u> Revenue decreased approximately 3 percent in the year ended December 31, 2024 due to a significant decline in volumes during the first quarter as a result of continued pressure from channel destocking behavior. Volume recovery as a result of improved inventory levels in the channel during the following quarters partially offset the decrease in the first quarter. Unfavorable pricing actions also contributed to the decrease in the revenue during the period. Strong growth in fungicides, particularly from flutriafol and fluindapyr products, positively impacted sales in the region.

<u>Latin America:</u> Revenue decreased approximately 1 percent for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period. Organically, revenue increased approximately 5 percent driven by volume growth primarily related to branded diamides and Onsuva<sup>™</sup>, a fluindapyr-based fungicide. The volume growth was partially offset by unfavorable impacts from pricing actions, primarily in Brazil, during the period, which were caused by competitive pressure as demand returned as well as one-time customer incentives, offered primarily during the second quarter, aimed at addressing high cost inventory in the channel.

<u>EMEA:</u> Revenue decreased approximately 7 percent, or approximately 4 percent organically, versus the prior year period. Branded Cyazypyr<sup>®</sup> active products contributed to volume growth in the region that partially offset the impact of registration removals and the rationalization of some lower margin products.

<u>Asia:</u> Revenue decreased approximately 14 percent, or approximately 12 percent organically, versus the prior year period caused by lower volumes, primarily due to ongoing destocking behavior, specifically in India. Pricing pressure caused by competitive pressure was an additional headwind in the region.

<u>Gross margin</u>

**2025 vs. 2024** 

Gross margin of $1,283.0 million decreased by $365.9 million, or approximately 22 percent versus the prior year period primarily due to 23 percent decrease caused by the one-time commercial actions taken in India. Cost improvement during the period resulted in a 21 percent increase to gross margin, respectively. The increase was partially offset by lower pricing and volumes of 15 percent and 2 percent, respectively, during the period. Foreign currency was a headwind of 3 percent. Gross margin percent of approximately 37 percent decreased compared to approximately 39 percent in the prior year period. Excluding the impact of the one-time commercial actions, our gross margin as a percent of revenue was 41 percent, which increased compared to gross margin percentage of 39 percent in the prior year as a result of continued cost improvement partially offset by lower pricing during the period.

**2024 vs. 2023**

Gross margin of $1,648.9 million decreased by $182.1 million, or approximately 10 percent versus the prior year period resulting from a 13 percent decrease due to lower pricing in all regions due to competitive pressure as demand returned. The decrease in price was partially offset by a 2 percent increase due to positive input cost improvement and a 1 percent increase from volume growth. Gross margin percent of approximately 38.8 percent slightly decreased from approximately 40.8 percent in the prior year period driven by higher unabsorbed fixed costs as well as registration removals during the period.

<u>Selling, general and administrative expenses</u>

**2025 vs. 2024** 

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $684.9 million increased by $40.3 million, or approximately 6 percent versus the prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of investment to support new products as well as additional sales force in Brazil to support the expanded market access in the country.

**2024 vs. 2023**

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $644.6 million decreased by $89.7 million, or approximately 12 percent versus the prior year period. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to cost reduction measures implemented in connection with our Project Focus initiative as well as operating cost mitigation actions in effect since last year due to lower business performance.

<u>Research and development expenses</u>

**2025 vs. 2024** 

Research and development expenses of $266.1 million decreased by $11.9 million, or approximately 4 percent compared to the previous year. The decrease in spending on research and development relates to the timing of project expenses as well as continued cost reduction efforts in connection with restructuring activities.

**2024 vs. 2023**

Research and development expenses of $278.0 million decreased by $50.8 million, or approximately 15 percent versus the prior year period. The decrease in research and development costs is a result of cost reduction efforts related to Project Focus. Reductions in research and development spending were done without sacrificing investments in areas such as Plant Health and our new active ingredient pipeline.

**Other Results of Operations**

<u>Depreciation and amortization</u>

**2025 vs. 2024** 

Depreciation and amortization of $173.6 million decreased $2.7 million, or approximately 2 percent, as compared to 2024 of $176.3 million. The decrease was the result of the write off of certain assets during 2024 as part of our Project Focus restructuring initiative partially offset by certain intangible assets that began amortization in 2025.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

**2024 vs. 2023**

Depreciation and amortization of $176.3 million decreased $8.0 million, or approximately 4 percent, as compared to 2023 of $184.3 million. The decrease was the result of the write off of certain amortizable assets in the first half of 2024 as part of our Project Focus restructuring initiative.

<u>Interest expense, net</u>

**2025 vs. 2024** 

Interest expense, net of $239.6 million increased by $3.8 million, or approximately 2 percent, compared to $235.8 million in 2024 primarily driven by refinancing activity. An increase of $18.9 million in connection with refinancing activity and higher foreign debt balances and rates was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $15.1 million due to lower short-term domestic balances and rates.

**2024 vs. 2023**

Interest expense, net of $235.8 million decreased by $1.4 million, or approximately 1 percent, compared to $237.2 million in 2023 primarily driven by lower debt balances and rates. Specifically, lower foreign balances and rates resulted in a decrease in interest expense of approximately $6.5 million. The decrease in interest expense was partially offset by an increase of approximately $5.1 million due to higher domestic short-term interest rates.

***2025***

Restructuring charges of $271.5 million primarily includes restructuring charges related to Project Foundation as well as Project Focus. The charges of $172.0 million for Project Foundation incurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 include non-cash asset write-off and accelerated depreciation costs of $155.7 million primarily associated with the planned exit of certain production activities, other miscellaneous charges, which includes professional service provider costs, of $14.5 million and severance and employee separation costs of $1.8 million. We also incurred charges related to Project Focus of $99.1 million consisting of $25.4 million of severance and employee separation costs, $27.8 million of other miscellaneous charges, including professional service provider costs, and write-offs of $45.9 million on assets identified for disposal, which includes $27.0 million of abandonment charges recorded in connection with a shutdown of a product line at one of our manufacturing locations.

In connection with Project Foundation, the Company expects to incur pre-tax restructuring charges over the life of the program in the range of approximately $560 million to $635 million, which is subject to future changes, in connection with these efforts. The Company expects non-cash asset write-off and/or accelerated depreciation charges in the range of $420 million to $440 million, primarily related to the planned exit of production activities and manufacturing operations at certain manufacturing sites. In addition to the non-cash write-off charges, the Company expects to incur $140 to $195 million of cash expenditures in connection with these activities: the Company estimates total severance charges and related benefit costs to be in the range of $50 to $80 million; the Company expects to incur cash consulting and other professional service fees totaling approximately $10 to $20 million to help execute these actions; and additionally, we may incur $80 to $95 million in other cash charges, such as decommissioning costs and contract termination charges. We may incur additional charges in connection with Project Foundation and will provide an estimate of any additional charges when known. Restructuring actions under the program are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2027.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

As of December 31, 2025, we have implemented substantially all the activities associated Project Focus. The charges incurred during the year ended December 31, 2025 and prior years are within the expected range for pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $425 million to $475 million over the life of the program. Project Focus-related charges include severance and related benefit costs, asset write-off charges, and contract abandonment charges. Any remaining amounts incurred in connection with remaining activities under the program, which are not expected to be material, will be reflected in our consolidated results of operations as they become probable and estimable or a triggering event is identified in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we also recognized income of $0.4 million related to previously implemented restructuring initiatives including a gain recognized on the disposition of a previously closed manufacturing site.

Other charges (income), net, of $1,688.8 million is primarily driven by a $1,356.2 million write-off of our entire goodwill balance during the fourth quarter. As a result of the recent significant decrease in our stock price, we performed a test of our goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment in connection with the preparation of our financial statements, which triggered the write-off. Other charges (income), net, also includes the asset impairment charge of $194.8 million and third party provider costs of $7.1 million incurred related to the India held for sale business. Following the commercial adjustments to prepare the India business for sale, we evaluated the remaining carrying value and recorded an impairment charge for the difference between the adjusted carrying value and the estimated fair value of the net assets associated with the business, less costs to sell. In addition to the goodwill write-off and charges related to the India held for sale business, other charges (income), net, include $99.4 million of charges associated with our environmental sites, a charge of $11.9 million due to changes in our estimate for Furadan ***®*** disposal costs at our Middleport site, losses of $7.7 million related to the devaluation of the Argentine peso driven by government actions, and $11.7 million of other miscellaneous charges.

***2024***

Restructuring and other charges (income) primarily includes restructuring charges incurred in connection with the Project Focus initiative. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $132.1 million of contract abandonment charges as a result of the continued evaluation of our supply chain footprint during the fourth quarter of 2024 and $53.3 million of non-cash asset write off charges resulting from the contract cessation with one of our third-party manufacturers during the second quarter of 2024. The decision to exit these agreements was driven in part by our ability to source these materials from lower cost locations. Charges incurred in connection with Project Focus also consist of $55.8 million in severance and employee separation charges, including costs associated with the CEO transition, $31.0 million of professional service provider costs and other miscellaneous charges associated with the project, accelerated depreciation of 20.5 million on assets identified for disposal in connection with the restructuring initiative, and $13.2 million of asset impairment charges.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we also recognized income of $2.9 million related to previously implemented restructuring initiatives including a $3.1 million gain recognized on the disposition of a previously closed manufacturing site.

Other charges (income), net, of $(83.2) million is comprised of a gain, net of full year incurred transaction costs, of $174.4 million from the sale of our GSS business, which was completed on November 1, 2024. The divestiture of GSS, which includes a line of products that serve a diverse mix of non-crop markets such as golf courses, professional sports stadiums and pest control, is a key step in FMC's strategic plan to focus solely on innovating products and services for the global crop protection market. The gain from the GSS sale was partially offset by $74.7 million of charges associated with our environmental sites and $16.5 million of other miscellaneous charges.

***2023***

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes $40.1 million of severance and employee separation costs and $5.4 million of provider costs associated with the Project Focus restructuring initiative. Other restructuring costs of $8.7 million relate to employee separation and asset impairment costs incurred as part of various ongoing initiatives. These restructuring charges were offset by a $5.8 million gain recognized on the disposition of land related to a previously closed manufacturing facility.

Other charges (income), net, of $163.9 million is comprised of $75.2 million in currency related charges driven by significant devaluation actions taken by the Argentine Government during the fourth quarter of 2023 as well as similar devaluation actions in Pakistan and Argentina during previous quarts of 2023. Other charges (income), net, also includes $13.0 million in charges primarily resulting from the third quarter acquisition of in-process research and development assets that do not meet the criteria for capitalization. We also incurred $66.9 million in environmental charges associated with remediation and other miscellaneous charges of $8.8 million.

<u>Provision (benefit) for income taxes</u>

In 2025, we recognized an income tax expense of $314.2 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of negative 16.7 percent. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded an income tax benefit of $150.9 million resulting in an effective tax rate of negative 59.8 percent. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1,119.3 million resulting in an effective tax rate of negative 372.9 percent. Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K includes more details on the drivers of the GAAP effective rate and year-over-year changes.

We believe showing the reconciliation below of our GAAP to non-GAAP effective tax rate provides investors with useful supplemental information about our tax rate on the core underlying business.

_______________

(1)Refer to note 3 of the *Adjusted Earnings Reconciliation* table within this section of this Form 10-K for an explanation of tax adjustments.

The primary drivers for the fluctuations in the effective tax rate for each period are provided in the table above.

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company's Swiss subsidiaries were granted ten-year tax incentives effective for 2023 and retroactively for 2021 and 2022. The tax incentives were awarded for the Company's commitment to invest in additional headcount and transfer significant intellectual property as well as establishing a new global technology and innovation center in Switzerland. Deferred tax benefits of $1,149 million and related valuation allowances of $318 million were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2023 to reflect the net estimated future reductions in tax of $831 million associated with the incentives.

In connection with our plans to establish a global technology and innovation center in Switzerland, we initiated changes to our corporate entity structure, including intra-entity transfers of certain intellectual property, during the second quarter of 2024. As a result, we recorded a net tax benefit of approximately $300 million. This benefit, net of valuation allowance, was primarily a result of the recognition of a step-up in tax basis to the fair value of the transferred intellectual property by one of the Company's Swiss subsidiaries. In addition, local tax impacts associated with the disposition of the transferred intellectual property were recorded as well as an increase in our valuation allowance associated with Swiss nonrefundable tax credits as a result of indirect effects of the transferred intellectual property. During the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2025, the Company recorded additional valuation allowances of approximately $120 million and $285 million, respectively, as a result of updated projections of future earnings associated with the 2023 deferred tax benefits noted above.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

Historically, FMC's Brazil valuation allowance position was based on long-standing local transfer pricing rules, as well as certain material favorable permanent statutory tax deductions available to FMC Brazil as part of local tax law. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company released its FMC Brazil valuation allowance and recorded a tax benefit of approximately $223 million as a result of the Brazilian Government enacting a new tax law that significantly limits FMC Brazil's ability to benefit in the future from the material favorable permanent statutory tax deductions previously available as part of local tax law.

Excluding the items in the table above, changes in the non-GAAP effective tax rate were primarily due to the impact of geographic mix of earnings among our global subsidiaries. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for additional details related to the provisions for income taxes on continuing operations, as well as items that significantly impact our effective tax rate.

<u>Discontinued operations, net of income taxes</u>

Our discontinued operations primarily reflect adjustments to retained liabilities from previously discontinued operations and include environmental liabilities, other postretirement benefit liabilities, self-insurance, long-term obligations related to legal proceedings and historical restructuring activities. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for additional details on our discontinued operations.

**2025 vs. 2024** 

Discontinued operations, net of income taxes represented a loss of $36.6 million in 2025 compared to a loss of $61.8 million in 2024. The loss during both periods was primarily due to adjustments related to the retained liabilities from our previously discontinued operations. The loss in 2025 was partially offset by a $34.5 million reduction in our required legal reserve due to a decrease in outstanding cases.

**2024 vs. 2023** 

Discontinued operations, net of income taxes represented a loss of $61.8 million in 2024 compared to a loss of $98.5 million in 2023. The loss during both periods was primarily due to adjustments related to the retained liabilities from our previously discontinued operations. The twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes an offsetting gain of $18.0 million recognized as the result of an insurance settlement for retained legal reserves.

<u>Net income (loss)</u>

**2025 vs. 2024** 

The net loss recognized during the period was $2,237.4 million as compared to net income of $341.6 million in the prior year period. The change year over year is primarily attributable to the goodwill write off of $1,356.2 million and approximately $522 million of adjustments recorded in connection with preparing the India commercial business for sale. The change in the provision for income taxes also contributed to the decrease in net income during the period. The benefit for income taxes for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was the result of a tax benefit of approximately $300 million recorded due to changes in our corporate entity structure in connection with our plans to establish a global technology and innovation center in Switzerland. In comparison, we recorded a $314.2 million provision for income taxes during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

The only difference between Net income (loss) and Net income (loss) attributable to FMC stockholders is noncontrolling interest.

**2024 vs. 2023** 

Net income decreased to $341.6 million from $1,321.0 million primarily as a result of a decrease of $968.4 million to our benefit for income taxes. We recorded significant one-time tax benefits in the prior year related to tax incentives granted to our Swiss subsidiaries as discussed above. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we recorded higher valuation allowances on these tax benefits. In 2024, we also recorded a $300 million income tax benefit in connection with the changes to our corporate entity structure made as part of establishing our global technology and innovation center in Switzerland. Additionally, lower gross margin, as discussed above, negatively impacted our results for the period. The change in our gross margin and benefit for income taxes was partially offset by a gain of $18.0 million in discontinued operations during the second quarter as the result of an insurance settlement for retained legal reserves. Our research and development expenses and our selling, general, and administrative expenses were also lower as a result of cost containment.

<u>Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)</u>

**2025 vs. 2024** 

Adjusted EBITDA of $842.7 million decreased $59.9 million, or approximately 7 percent versus the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by favorable costs of approximately 32 percent. The cost improvement was offset by a decrease in price and volumes impacting adjusted EBITDA by 29 percent and 3 percent, respectively. Foreign exchange impacts were also a headwind of 2 percent during the period. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes contributions from the India commercial business. However, the year ended December 31, 2025 excludes the operating results of the India commercial business for six months as the held for sale period began in the third quarter of 2025. This exclusion accounts for 5 percent of the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the prior year period.

**2024 vs. 2023**

Adjusted EBITDA of $902.6 million decreased $75.4 million, or approximately 8 percent versus the prior year period. Cost as well as volume improvement of approximately 14 percent and 1 percent, respectively, were fully offset by unfavorable pricing impacts of approximately 25 percent. Favorable foreign currency impacts of approximately 2 percent also increased adjusted EBITDA.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

As a global agricultural sciences company, we require cash primarily for seasonal working capital needs, capital expenditures, and return of capital to shareholders. We plan to meet these liquidity needs through available cash, cash generated from operations, and borrowings under our committed Revolving Credit Facility as well as other liquidity facilities, and in certain instances access to debt capital markets. On February 5, 2026, we announced that the Company is engaging in a strategic review to explore options to enhance shareholder value. Potential strategic paths may include partnerships, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions, or licensing transactions, a combination of these, or other strategic transactions. Information involving our material cash requirements is detailed below.

*Cash*

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $584.5 million and $357.3 million, respectively. Of the cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2025, $577.3 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We have established plans to repatriate cash from certain foreign subsidiaries with minimal tax on a go forward basis. Other cash held by foreign subsidiaries is generally used to finance subsidiaries' operating activities and future foreign investments. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for more information on our indefinite reinvestment assertion.

*Outstanding debt*

At December 31, 2025, we had total debt of $4,074.9 million as compared to $3,365.3 million at December 31, 2024. Total debt included $2,769.8 million and $3,027.9 million of long-term debt (excluding current portions of $585.6 million and $76.1 million) at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our short-term debt consists of foreign borrowings and borrowings under our committed Revolving Credit Facility. Foreign borrowings decreased from $135.7 million at December 31, 2024 to $76.5 million at December 31, 2025. We had borrowings of $643.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2025. We had no commercial paper borrowings at December 31, 2025 as compared to outstanding commercial paper of $125.6 million at December 31, 2024. We provide parent-company guarantees to lending institutions providing credit to our foreign subsidiaries.

On May 27, 2025, the Company completed the sale of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 8.45% Subordinated Notes due November 1, 2055. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to redeem $500 million of the senior notes due May 18, 2026 and for general corporate purposes. The Company paid a make-whole premium of $3.3 million in connection with the early redemption of the senior notes, which is recorded within *"Non-operating pension, postretirement and other charges (income)"* on the consolidated statement of income (loss). Fees incurred to secure the Subordinated Notes have been deferred and will be amortized over the terms of the arrangement.

As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants. In February 2025 and December 2025, we entered into new amendments to our Revolving Credit Facility to amend the maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios and to extend the maturity date of the facility to 2028. Increases to the Company's regular quarterly dividend are limited and other restrictions are effective as defined in the amended agreement entered into in December 2025. Our ability to meet certain restrictive covenants and guarantees in our Revolving Credit Facility and other debt instruments will be subject to economic conditions and to financial, market, and competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control. If our business does not perform in line with current expectations, we will be at risk of non-compliance with such covenants and guarantees. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for further details.

Our total debt maturities, excluding discounts, is $4,105.5 million at December 31, 2025, with $1,305.1 million payable in the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2025, we had contractual interest obligations of $3,480.3 million outstanding, with $166.5 million payable in the next 12 months. Contractual interest is the interest we are contracted to pay on our long-term debt obligations. We do not have any long-term debt subject to variable interest rates at December 31, 2025.

*Access to credit and future liquidity and funding needs*

As of December 31, 2025, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility were $643.0 million and letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $209.8 million. At December 31, 2025, our remaining borrowing capacity under our credit facility was $1,147.2 million. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have classified the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as short-term debt. The Company intends to refinance any draw under the line of credit with successive short-term borrowings, as needed, through the maturity date in 2028. At December 31, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program. Our balances under the Revolving Credit Facility and commercial paper program fluctuate from year to year depending on working capital needs.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

**Working Capital Initiatives**

We offer to a select group of suppliers a voluntary supply chain finance program as part of our continued efforts to improve our working capital efficiency. We do not believe that changes in the availability of the supply chain finance program would have a significant impact on our liquidity. See Note 2 for more information on the key terms and balances of the program.

From time to time, the Company may sell receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions. These sales are normally driven by specific market conditions, including, but not limited to, foreign exchange environments, customer credit management, as well as other factors where the receivables may lay. See Note 8 for more information on receivables factoring.

**Commitments**

We provide guarantees to financial institutions on behalf of certain customers, principally customers in Brazil for their seasonal borrowing. The total of these guarantees was $53.1 million at December 31, 2025. These guarantees arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with customers and nonconsolidated affiliates. Non-performance by the guaranteed party triggers the obligation requiring us to make payments to the beneficiary of the guarantee. Based on our experience these types of guarantees have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial position or on our liquidity. Our expectation is that future payment or performance related to the non-performance of others is considered unlikely.

In connection with certain of our property and asset sales and divestitures, we have agreed to indemnify the buyer for certain liabilities, including environmental contamination and taxes that occurred prior to the date of sale. Our indemnification obligations with respect to these liabilities may be indefinite as to duration and may or may not be subject to a deductible, minimum claim amount or cap. In cases where it is not possible for us to predict the likelihood that a claim will be made or to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential loss or range of loss, no specific liability has been recorded. If triggered, we may be able to recover certain of the indemnity payments from third parties. In cases where it is possible, we have recorded a specific liability within our Reserve for Discontinued Operations. Refer to Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for further details.

*Taxes, Pension, Environmental, and Other Discontinued Liabilities*

As of December 31, 2025, the liability for uncertain tax positions was $59.6 million. Our consolidated balance sheets contain accrued pension and other postretirement benefits, our environmental liabilities, and our other discontinued liabilities for which we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the periods in which these liabilities might be paid beyond 2026. We believe any liability arising from potential environmental obligations is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or financial condition as it may be satisfied over many years. See our discussion under 2025 Cash Flow Outlook in the Free Cash Flow section within this Form 10-K for information on these liabilities and the related expected payments in 2026.

*Derivatives*

At times we can be in a derivative liability position that can require future cash obligations. However, as of December 31, 2025, we had no such obligations.

*Leases*

We have lease arrangements for equipment and facilities, including office spaces, IT equipment, transportation equipment, and machinery equipment. As of December 31, 2025, we had fixed lease payment obligations of $149.0 million, with $31.0 million payable within 12 months.

*Purchase obligations*

Purchase obligations consist of agreements to purchase goods and services that are enforceable and legally binding and specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, price provisions and timing of the transaction. We have entered into a number of purchase obligations for the sourcing of materials and energy where take-or-pay arrangements apply. As of December 31, 2025, our purchase obligations were $179.9 million, with $68.5 million payable in the next twelve months. The majority of the minimum obligations under these contracts are take-or-pay commitments over the life of the contract and not a year by year take-or-pay. As such, the obligations related to these types of contacts are considered payable in the earliest period in which the minimum obligation could be due under these types of contracts.

____________________

(1)Both periods include the impacts of seasonality and the receivable build intrinsic in our business. The change in cash flows related to trade receivables in 2025 was driven by lower revenue year over year as well as timing of collections. Collection timing is more pronounced in certain countries such as Brazil where there may be terms significantly longer than the rest of our business. Additionally, timing of collection is impacted as amounts for both periods include carry-over balances remaining to be collected in Latin America, where collection periods are measured in months rather than weeks.

(2)Advance payments are typically received in the fourth quarter of each year, primarily in our North America operations as revenue associated with advance payments is recognized, generally in the first half of each year following the seasonality of that business, as shipments are made and title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. The activity in 2025 was consistent with the same period in 2024. The change in 2024 was driven by higher advance payments received during 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 offset by the higher application of those advances against current period sales.

(3)These rebates are primarily associated within North America, and to a lesser extent Brazil, and in North America generally settle in the fourth quarter of each year given the end of the respective crop cycle. The changes year over year are mostly associated with lower revenues and the mix in sales eligible for rebates and incentives as well as timing of certain rebate payments.

(4)Changes in inventory reflect the inventory build required during 2025 to meet projected demand compared to the 2024 period which was impacted by a lower sales outlook as a result of the channel destocking. The changes in inventory during 2024 reflect the lower inventory build required following the lower sales volume in 2023 resulting from the channel destocking. Higher sales during the second half of 2024 contributed to the decrease in inventories. The change in cash flows during 2023 is the result of lower than expected sales volume during the period.

(5)The change in cash flows related to accounts payable in 2025 was driven by the timing of payments made to suppliers and vendors. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 86 percent of our accounts payable balance was considered current, which we define as outstanding less than 30 days past the invoice due date. In accordance with our standard terms, invoices are held for payment when there is an open dispute with the vendor. The remaining balance of accounts payable primarily consists of invoices that meet this criteria. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 99 percent of our accounts payable balance was considered current under the same definition. The change in cash flows related to accounts payable in 2024 was driven by the timing of payments to suppliers and vendors following a period of reducing spending in the prior period. The change in cash flows related to accounts payable in 2023 is primarily due to lower raw material inventory purchases due to the decline in demand and, to a lesser extent, the timing of payments made to suppliers and vendors

(6)Changes in all periods presented primarily represent timing of payments associated with all other operating assets and liabilities.

(7)See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for further details.

(8)In addition to the environmental cash spend presented in the table above, our results for each of the years presented also include environmental charges for environmental remediation of $99.4 million, $74.7 million and $66.9 million, respectively. The amounts represent environmental remediation spending which were recorded against pre-existing reserves, net of recoveries. Environmental obligations for continuing operations primarily represent obligations at shut down or abandoned facilities within businesses that do not meet the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations. The amounts recorded against pre-existing reserves in 2025 will be spent in future years.

(9)There were no voluntary contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit plan, which is slightly over funded, in 2025, 2024 and 2023.

(10)Interest payments increased in 2025 due to refinancing activity and higher foreign debt balances and rates. The increase was partially offset by a decrease due to lower short-term domestic balances and rates.

(11)Amounts shown in the chart represent net tax payments of our continuing operations across various jurisdictions.

*Cash provided (required) by operating activities of discontinued operations was $(74.0) million, $(65.6) million and $(86.1) million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.*

Cash required by operating activities of discontinued operations in 2025 is directly related to environmental spending of $42.3 million as well as $31.7 million for other postretirement benefit liabilities, self-insurance, long-term obligations related to legal proceedings, collectively. 2024 and 2023 spending were of a similar nature. Discontinued operations for 2024 also includes cash proceeds, net of fees of $18.0 million received as the result of an insurance settlement for retained legal reserves. Additionally, during 2023, we paid $16.5 million for a portion of settlement amount related to one of our discontinued foreign environmental remediation sites and the remaining payment of $11.3 million was paid in 2024.

*Cash provided (required) by investing activities of continuing operations was $(99.7) million, $263.6 million and $(154.4) million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.*

Cash required by investing activities of continuing operations for 2025 of $99.7 million decreased compared to cash provided by investing activities for 2024 of $263.6 million. In 2024, we received proceeds, net of the preliminary working capital adjustment, of approximately $340 million in connection with the completion of the sale of our Global Specialty Solutions ("GSS") business to Environmental Science US, LLC d/b/a Envu, which was completed on November 1, 2024. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we also paid approximately $11.7 million to Envu as a true-up of the final working capital adjustment related to the sale. The timing of payments related to capital expenditures as contributed to the change year over year.

Cash required for 2023 is primarily due to capital expenditures for increased capacity, and to a lesser extent, acquisition related spending associated with the acquired IPR&D assets completed during the third quarter of 2023.

*Cash provided (required) by financing activities of continuing operations was $386.0 million, $(870.1) million and $331.5 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.*

Cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations increased during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the proceeds of $750 million from the Subordinated Notes. The increase was partially offset by the redemption of $500 million of senior notes and financing fees associated with the issuance of the Subordinated Notes. There were no share repurchases during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 under the publicly announced program.

The change in cash provided by financing activities in 2024 is primarily due to lower commercial paper borrowings during the period as well as the absence of the net impact of the 2023 bond issuance and repayment of the 2021 term loan. The proceeds from the GSS sale were used to pay down outstanding debt. There were no share repurchases during 2024 under the publicly announced program.

The change in cash provided by financing activities in 2023 is primarily due to higher commercial paper balances and an increase in short term foreign borrowings as well as the proceeds from the Senior Notes. This increase was partially offset by the repayment of the $800 million term loan, and $75 million in repurchases of common stock under the publicly announced program.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

**Free Cash Flow**

We define free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, as all cash inflows and outflows excluding those related to financing activities (such as debt repayments, dividends, and share repurchases) and acquisition related investing activities. Additionally, in 2024, free cash flow excludes the proceeds, net of transaction costs, from the sale of our GSS business. Therefore, our calculation of free cash flow will almost always result in a lower amount than cash from operating activities from continuing operations, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. However, the free cash flow measure is consistent with management's assessment of operating cash flow performance and we believe it provides a useful basis for investors and securities analysts about the cash generated by routine business operations, including capital expenditures, in addition to assessing our ability to repay debt, fund acquisitions including cost and equity method investments, and return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Our use of free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under U.S. GAAP. First, free cash flow is not a substitute for cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations, as it is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have non-discretionary obligations, primarily debt service, that are not deducted from the measure. Second, other companies may calculate free cash flow or similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of free cash flow as a tool for comparison. Additionally, the utility of free cash flow is further limited as it does not reflect our future contractual commitments and does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. Because of these and other limitations, free cash flow should be considered along with cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations and other comparable financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The table below presents a reconciliation of free cash flow from the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

**2026 Cash Flow Outlook** 

Our cash needs for 2026 include operating cash requirements (particularly working capital as well as environmental, asset retirement obligation, and restructuring spending), and capital expenditures as well as mandatory payments of debt and dividend payments. We plan to meet our liquidity needs through available cash, cash generated from operations and borrowings under our committed Revolving Credit Facility. At December 31, 2025 our remaining borrowing capacity under our credit facility was $1,147.2 million.

We expect 2026 cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations and free cash flow (non-GAAP) to increase primarily due lower cash taxes and improved working capital performance, including other assets and liabilities, partially offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA and higher restructuring spending. We also expect the proceeds from the anticipated completion of the sale of our India commercial business to be used to pay down debt.

***<u>Key cash requirements included in cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations</u>***

*Pension*

We do not expect to make any voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan in 2026. The plan is slightly overfunded and our portfolio is comprised of 100 percent fixed income securities and cash. Our investment strategy is a liability hedging approach with an objective of maintaining the funded status of the plan such that the funded status volatility is minimized and the likelihood that we will be required to make significant contributions to the plan is limited.

*Environmental*

Projected 2026 spending, net of recoveries includes approximately $50 million to $60 million of net environmental remediation spending for our sites accounted for within continuing operations. Environmental obligations for continuing operations primarily represent obligations at shut down or abandoned facilities within businesses that do not meet the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations.

Projected 2026 spending, net of recoveries includes approximately $40 million to $50 million of net environmental remediation spending for our discontinued sites. These projections include spending as a result of a settlement reached in 2019 at our Middleport, New York site of $10 million maximum per year, on average, until the remediation is complete.

Total projected 2026 environmental spending, inclusive of sites accounted for within both continuing operations and discontinued sites, is expected to be in the range of $90 million to $110 million.

*Restructuring and asset retirement obligations*

We expect to make payments of approximately $130 million to $155 million in 2026, which primarily relate to Project Foundation and Project Focus activities. As previously noted in the section titled *"Results of Operations*," we expect to incur approximately $560 million to $635 million of pre-tax restructuring charges in connection with Project Foundation in total over the life of the program. This includes $420 million to $440 million of non-cash asset write-off charges. We expect cash payments of approximately $65 million during 2026 in connection with Project Foundation. We have implemented substantially all the activities associated with Project Focus. However, we expect cash payments of approximately $63 million primarily related to the cash payments required in association with contract abandonment activities executed under the program.

***<u>Capital additions and other investing activities</u>***

Projected 2026 capital expenditures and expenditures related to contract manufacturers are expected to be in the range of approximately $90 million to $110 million. The spending is mainly driven by investments for our new products. Expenditures related to contract manufacturers are included within "*other investing activitie*s."

***<u>Share repurchases</u>***

Except for purchases associated with our equity compensation plans, we do not anticipate any share repurchases during 2026 in compliance with the amendment to the Company's credit agreement. See Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholders Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities for additional information regarding the Company's publicly announced repurchased program authorized in February 2022.

***<u>Dividends</u>***

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we paid $291.3 million, $290.6 million and $290.5 million in dividends, respectively. As part of a broader response to the challenges the company is facing and to further prioritize debt reduction, the Board of Directors in October 2025 made the decision to reduce the quarterly dividend to $0.08 per share. On January 15, 2026, we paid dividends aggregating $10.0 million to our shareholders of record as of December 31, 2025. This amount is included in *"Accrued and other liabilities"* on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. We expect to continue to make quarterly dividend payments. Future cash dividends, as always, will depend on a variety of factors, including earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, general economic conditions and other factors considered relevant by us and is subject to final determination by our Board of Directors. The company has a long history of returning cash to shareholders and will continue to evaluate its capital allocation on an ongoing basis. As described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, increases to the Company's regular quarterly dividend are limited in connection with the Company's credit agreement as amended in December 2025.

See Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K for additional discussion surrounding our fair value measurements.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have described our accounting policies in Note 1 *"Principal Accounting Policies and Related Financial Information*" to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K. We have reviewed these accounting policies, identifying those that we believe to be critical to the preparation and understanding of our consolidated financial statements. We have reviewed these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Critical accounting policies are central to our presentation of results of operations and financial condition in accordance with U.S. GAAP and require management to make estimates and judgments on certain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current conditions and other reasonable factors. Our most critical accounting estimates and assumptions, which are those that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations, include: *Impairments and valuation of long-lived and indefinite-lived assets, Pension and other postretirement benefits, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets* and the *Allowance for credit losses on our trade receivables.* Additional critical accounting policies are included within the list below:

*Revenue recognition and trade receivables*

We recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy our performance obligation which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. Rebates due to customers are accrued as a reduction of revenue in the same period that the related sales are recorded based on the contract terms. Refer to Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K for more information.

We record amounts billed for shipping and handling fees as revenue. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded as costs of sales and services. Amounts billed for sales and use taxes, value-added taxes, and certain excise and other specific transactional taxes imposed on revenue-producing transactions are presented on a net basis and excluded from revenue on the consolidated statements of income (loss). We record a liability until remitted to the respective taxing authority.

We periodically enter into prepayment arrangements with customers and receive advance payments for product to be delivered in future periods. These advance payments are recorded as deferred revenue and classified as "Advance payments from customers" on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenue associated with advance payments is recognized as shipments are made and transfer of control to the customer takes place.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

Trade receivables consist of amounts owed to us from customer sales and are recorded when revenue is recognized. The allowance for trade receivables represents our best estimate of the probable losses associated with potential customer defaults. In developing our allowance for trade receivables, we use a two-stage process which includes calculating a general formula to develop an allowance to appropriately address the uncertainty surrounding collection risk of our entire portfolio and specific allowances for customers where the risk of collection has been reasonably identified either due to liquidity constraints or disputes over contractual terms and conditions.

Our method of calculating the general formula consists of estimating the recoverability of trade receivables based on historical experience, current collection trends, and external business factors such as economic factors, including regional bankruptcy rates, and political factors. Our analysis of trade receivable collection risk is performed quarterly, and the allowance is adjusted accordingly.

We also hold long-term receivables that represent long-term customer receivable balances related to past-due accounts which are not expected to be collected within the current year. Our policy for the review of the allowance for these receivables is consistent with the discussion in the preceding paragraph above on trade receivables. Therefore, on an ongoing basis, we continue to evaluate the credit quality of our long-term receivables utilizing aging of receivables, collection experience and write-offs, as well as existing economic conditions, to determine if an additional allowance is necessary.

We believe our allowance for credit losses is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions used for the reserve can change from time to time and potentially have a material impact on our results of operations. Based on a combination of historical trends as well as current economic factors, we apply judgment to reserve for expected credit losses in the period in which the sale is recorded. A substantial change in the operating environments in any of our key locations (driven by weather conditions, industry specific events, and macroeconomic conditions) may result in actual adjustments that differ from our original assumptions.

*Environmental obligations and related recoveries*

We provide for environmental-related obligations when they are probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated. Where the available information is sufficient to estimate the amount of liability, that estimate has been used. Where the information is only sufficient to establish a range of probable liability and no point within the range is more likely than any other, the lower end of the range has been used.

Estimated obligations to remediate sites that involve oversight by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), or similar government agencies, are generally accrued no later than when a Record of Decision ("ROD"), or equivalent, is issued, or upon completion of a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study ("RI/FS"), or equivalent, that is submitted by us to the appropriate government agency or agencies. Estimates are reviewed quarterly by our environmental remediation management, as well as by financial and legal management and, if necessary, adjusted as additional information becomes available. The estimates can change substantially as additional information becomes available regarding the nature or extent of site contamination, required remediation methods, and other actions by or against governmental agencies or private parties.

Our environmental liabilities for continuing and discontinued operations are principally for costs associated with the remediation and/or study of sites at which we are alleged to have released hazardous substances into the environment. Such costs principally include, among other items, RI/FS, site remediation, costs of operation and maintenance of the remediation plan, management costs, fees to outside law firms and consultants for work related to the environmental effort, and future monitoring costs. Estimated site liabilities are determined based upon existing remediation laws and technologies, specific site consultants' engineering studies or by extrapolating experience with environmental issues at comparable sites.

Included in our environmental liabilities are costs for the operation, maintenance and monitoring of site remediation plans ("OM&M"). Such reserves are based on our best estimates for these OM&M plans. Over time we may incur OM&M costs in excess of these reserves. However, we are unable to reasonably estimate an amount in excess of our recorded reserves because we cannot reasonably estimate the period for which such OM&M plans will need to be in place or the future annual cost of such remediation, as conditions at these environmental sites change over time. Such additional OM&M costs could be significant in total but would be incurred over an extended period of years.

Included in the environmental reserve balance, other assets balance and disclosure of reasonably possible loss contingencies are amounts from third-party insurance policies, which we believe are probable of recovery.

Provisions for environmental costs are reflected in income, net of probable and estimable recoveries from named Potentially Responsible Parties ("PRPs") or other third parties. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for further information. All other environmental provisions incorporate inflation and are not discounted to their present value.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

In calculating and evaluating the adequacy of our environmental reserves, we have taken into account the joint and several liability imposed by Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and the analogous state laws on all PRPs and have considered the identity and financial condition of the other PRPs at each site to the extent possible. We have also considered the identity and financial condition of other third parties from whom recovery is anticipated, as well as the status of our claims against such parties. Although we are unable to forecast the ultimate contributions of PRPs and other third parties with absolute certainty, the degree of uncertainty with respect to each party is taken into account when determining the environmental reserve by adjusting the reserve to reflect the facts and circumstances on a site-by-site basis. Our liability includes our best estimate of the costs expected to be paid before the consideration of any potential recoveries from third parties. We believe that any recorded recoveries related to PRPs are realizable in all material respects. Recoveries are recorded as either an offset in "*Environmental liabilities, continuing and discontinue*d" or as "*Other assets*" in our consolidated balance sheets in accordance with U.S. accounting literature.

See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for changes in estimates associated with our environmental obligations.

*Impairments and valuation of long-lived and indefinite-lived assets*

Our long-lived assets primarily include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Historically, our long-lived assets also included goodwill; however, we recorded a write-off of our remaining goodwill balance during the year ended December 31, 2025. Refer below for further detail of the write-off.

We test for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the net book value of our property, plant and equipment may not be recoverable from the estimated undiscounted expected future cash flows expected to result from their use and eventual disposition. In cases where the estimated undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than net book value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the net book value exceeds the estimated fair value of assets, which is based on discounted cash flows at the lowest level determinable. The estimated cash flows reflect our assumptions about selling prices, volumes, costs and market conditions over a reasonable period of time.

We perform an annual impairment test of our indefinite-lived intangible assets and, historically, our goodwill, in the third quarter of each year, or more frequently whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that would require reassessment of the recoverability of those assets. Our fiscal year 2025 annual impairment test was performed during the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. At the time of the annual impairment test, we determined no goodwill impairment or indefinite-lived asset impairment existed and the fair value was in excess of the carrying value for each asset class. As a result of the significant decrease in our stock price during the fourth quarter of 2025, we also performed a test of our goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment in connection with the preparation of our financial statements during the fourth quarter of 2025. We recorded a $1,356.2 million write-off of our remaining goodwill balance in connection with the impairment test. There was no impairment identified on our other intangible assets.

In performing our evaluation, we assess qualitative factors such as overall financial performance of our portfolio, anticipated changes in industry and market structure, competitive environments, planned capacity and cost factors such as raw material prices. We estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model as part of the income approach. We assess the appropriateness of projected financial information by comparing projected revenue growth rates, profit margins and tax rates to historical performance, industry data and selected guideline companies, where applicable. Our key assumptions include future cash flow projections, tax rates, terminal growth rates and discount rates.

We employ the relief from royalty method of the income approach to value our brand portfolios (indefinite-lived intangible assets). The principle behind this method is that the value of the intangible asset is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning the intangible asset. Primary inputs and key assumptions include revenue forecasts attributable to each portfolio, royalty rates (considering both external market data and internal arrangements), tax rates, terminal growth rates and discount rates.

Estimating the fair value requires significant judgment and actual results may differ due to changes in the overall market conditions. We believe we have applied reasonable assumptions which considers both internal and external factors.

We believe that an accounting estimate relating to asset impairment is a critical accounting estimate because of the inherent uncertainty within the underlying assumptions. An adverse change in any of these assumptions could result in an impairment charge which would potentially have a material impact on our results of operations.

See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for charges associated with long-lived asset disposal costs and the activity associated with the restructuring reserves.

*Pension and other postretirement benefits*

We provide qualified and nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, as well as postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans to our employees and retirees. The costs (benefits) and obligations related to these benefits reflect key assumptions related to general economic conditions, including interest (discount) rates, healthcare cost trend rates, expected rates of return on plan assets and the rates of compensation increase for employees. The costs (benefits) and obligations for these benefit programs are also affected by other assumptions, such as average retirement age, mortality, employee turnover, and plan participation. To the extent our plans' actual experience, as influenced by changing economic and financial market conditions or by changes to our own plans' demographics, differs from these assumptions, the costs and obligations for providing these benefits, as well as the plans' funding requirements, could increase or decrease. When actual results differ from our assumptions, the difference is typically recognized over future periods. In addition, the unrealized gains and losses related to our pension and postretirement benefit obligations may also affect periodic benefit costs (benefits) in future periods.

We use several assumptions and statistical methods to determine the asset values used to calculate both the expected rate of return on assets component of pension cost and to calculate our plans' funding requirements. We apply the fair value approach for our liability-hedging asset class, which does not involve deferring the impact of excess plan asset gains or losses in the determination of these two components of net periodic benefit cost. This class of assets is comprised solely of fixed income securities and therefore, provides a natural hedge (liability-hedging assets) against the changes in the recorded amount of net periodic benefit cost. We use an actuarial value of assets to determine our plans' funding requirements. The actuarial value of assets must be within a certain range, high or low, of the actual market value of assets, and is adjusted accordingly.

We select the discount rate used to calculate pension and other postretirement obligations based on a review of available yields on high-quality corporate bonds as of the measurement date. In selecting a discount rate as of December 31, 2025, we placed particular emphasis on a discount rate yield-curve provided by our actuary. This yield-curve, when populated with projected cash flows that represent the expected timing and amount of our plans' benefit payments, produced an effective discount rate of 5.32 percent for our U.S. qualified plan, 4.71 percent for our U.S. nonqualified, and 4.89 percent for our U.S. other postretirement benefit plans.

The discount rates used to determine projected benefit obligation at our December 31, 2025 and 2024 measurement dates for the U.S. qualified plan were 5.32 percent and 5.60 percent, respectively. The effect of the change in the discount rate from 5.60 percent to 5.32 percent at December 31, 2025 resulted in a $20.4 million increase to our U.S. qualified pension benefit obligations. The effect of the change in the discount rate used to determine net annual benefit cost (income) from 4.97 percent at December 31, 2024 to 5.32 percent at December 31, 2025 resulted in a $2.2 million decrease to the 2025 U.S. qualified pension expense.

The change in discount rate from 5.60 percent at December 31, 2024 to 5.32 percent at December 31, 2025 was attributable to an increase in yields on high quality corporate bonds with cash flows matching the timing and amount of our expected future benefit payments between the 2024 and 2025 measurement dates. Using the December 31, 2025 and 2024 yield curves, our U.S. qualified plan cash flows produced a single weighted-average discount rate of approximately 5.32 percent and 5.60 percent, respectively.

In developing the assumption for the long-term rate of return on assets for our U.S. Plan, we take into consideration the technical analysis performed by our outside actuaries, including historical market returns, information on the assumption for long-term real returns by asset class, inflation assumptions, and expectations for standard deviation related to these best estimates. Our long-term rate of return for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was 5.25 percent, 4.50 percent and 4.75 percent, respectively.

For the sensitivity of our pension costs to incremental changes in assumptions see our discussion below.

*Sensitivity analysis related to key pension and postretirement benefit assumptions.*

A one-half percent increase in the assumed discount rate would have decreased pension and other postretirement benefit obligations by $35.5 million and $36.4 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and increased pension and other postretirement benefit costs by $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A one-half percent decrease in the assumed discount rate would have increased pension and other postretirement benefit obligations by $38.0 million and $39.1 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and decreased pension and other postretirement benefit costs by $0.2 million in 2025, $0.2 million in 2024, and $0.1 million in 2023.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

A one-half percent increase in the assumed expected long-term rate of return on plan assets would have decreased pension costs by $4.6 million, $5.0 million and $5.0 million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A one-half percent decrease in the assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets would have increased pension costs by $4.6 million, $5.0 million and $5.0 million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Further details on our pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and net periodic benefit costs (benefits) are found in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K.

*Income taxes* 

We have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions to the amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for this allowance, we have considered a number of factors including future taxable income, the jurisdictions in which such income is earned and our ongoing tax planning strategies. In the event that we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. Similarly, should we conclude that we would be able to realize certain deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such determination was made.

Additionally, we file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Certain income tax returns for FMC entities taxable in the U.S. and significant foreign jurisdictions are open for examination and adjustment. We assess our income tax positions and record a liability for all years open to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. We adjust these liabilities, if necessary, upon the completion of tax audits or changes in tax law.

See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for additional discussion surrounding income taxes.

**ITEM 7A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

Our earnings, cash flows and financial position are exposed to market risks relating to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our policy is to minimize exposure to our cash flow over time caused by changes in commodity, interest and currency exchange rates. To accomplish this, we have implemented a controlled program of risk management consisting of appropriate derivative contracts entered into with major financial institutions.

The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market rates and prices. The range of changes chosen reflects our view of changes that are reasonably possible over a one-year period. Market value estimates are based on the present value of projected future cash flows considering the market rates and prices chosen.

At December 31, 2025, our net financial instrument position was a net liability of $9.5 million compared to a net asset of $34.1 million at December 31, 2024. The change in the net financial instrument position was primarily due to fluctuations in our foreign exchange portfolios.

Since our risk management programs are generally highly effective, the potential loss in value for each risk management portfolio described below would be largely offset by changes in the value of the underlying exposure.

**Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk**

The primary currencies for which we have exchange rate exposure are the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, euro, Mexican peso and Argentine peso. Foreign currency debt and foreign exchange forward contracts are used in countries where we do business, thereby reducing our net asset exposure. Foreign exchange forward contracts are also used to hedge firm and highly anticipated foreign currency cash flows.

To analyze the effects of changing foreign currency rates, we have performed a sensitivity analysis in which we assume an instantaneous 10 percent change in the foreign currency exchange rates from their levels at December 31, 2025 and 2024, with all other variables (including interest rates) held constant.

| **Net asset/(liability) position at December 31, 2025** | $(9.5) | $(69.9) | $22.7 |
| **Net asset/(liability) position at December 31, 2024** | 34.1 | 50.8 | (8.2) |

---

**Interest Rate Risk**

One of the strategies that we can use to manage interest rate exposure is to enter into interest rate swap agreements. In these agreements, we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated on an agreed-upon notional principal amount. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no outstanding interest rate swap contracts, and as a result, there was no sensitivity analysis performed over interest rate risk for the periods presented.

Our debt portfolio at December 31, 2025 is composed of 82 percent fixed-rate debt and 18 percent variable-rate debt. The variable-rate component of our debt portfolio principally consists of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and amounts outstanding under foreign subsidiary credit lines. Changes in interest rates affect different portions of our variable-rate debt portfolio in different ways.

Based on the variable-rate debt in our debt portfolio at December 31, 2025, a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have increased gross interest expense by $7.2 million and a one percentage point decrease in interest rates would have decreased gross interest expense by $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**Note 1: Principal Accounting Policies and Related Financial Information**

**Nature of operations**. We are a global agricultural sciences company dedicated to helping growers produce food, feed, fiber and fuel for an expanding world population while adapting to a changing environment. We operate in a single distinct business segment and develop, market and sell all three major classes of crop protection chemicals: insecticides, herbicides and fungicides, as well as biologicals, crop nutrition, and seed treatment products, which we group as plant health, and digital and precision agriculture. These products are used in agriculture to enhance crop yield and quality by controlling a broad spectrum of insects, weeds and disease, as well as in non-agricultural markets for pest control.

**Basis of consolidation and basis of presentation**. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of FMC Corporation and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FMC and all entities that we directly or indirectly control. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

**Estimates and assumptions**. In preparing the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

**Cash equivalents**. We consider investments in all liquid debt instruments with original maturities of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents.

**Trade receivables, net of allowance**. Trade receivables consist of amounts owed to us from customer sales and are recorded when revenue is recognized. The allowance for trade receivables represents our best estimate of the probable losses associated with potential customer defaults. In developing our allowance for trade receivables, we use a two-stage process which includes calculating a general formula to develop an allowance to appropriately address the uncertainty surrounding collection risk of our entire portfolio and specific allowances for customers where the risk of collection has been reasonably identified either due to liquidity constraints or disputes over contractual terms and conditions. Our methodology considers current economic conditions as well as forward-looking expectations about expected credit loss.

Our method of calculating the general formula consists of estimating the recoverability of trade receivables based on historical experience, current collection trends, and external business factors such as economic factors, including regional bankruptcy rates, and political factors. Our analysis of trade receivable collection risk is performed quarterly, and the allowance is adjusted accordingly.

We also hold long-term receivables that represent long-term customer receivable balances related to past-due accounts which are not expected to be collected within the current year. Our policy for the review of the allowance for these receivables is consistent with the discussion in the preceding paragraph above on trade receivables. Therefore, on an ongoing basis, we continue to evaluate the credit quality of our long-term receivables utilizing aging of receivables, collection experience and write-offs, as well as existing economic conditions, to determine if an additional allowance is necessary.

The allowance for trade receivables was $43.3 million and $39.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The allowance for long-term receivables was $31.5 million and $21.3 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The provision to the allowance for receivables charged against operations was $17.5 million, $10.4 million and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for more information.

**Investments**. Investments in companies in which our ownership interest is 50 percent or less and in which we exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by our share of undistributed earnings and losses of these investments. Majority owned investments in which our control is restricted are also accounted for using the equity method. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we do not own any equity method investments. All other investments are carried at their fair values or at cost, as appropriate and are not material to our consolidated financial statements.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

**Inventories**. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products before sale, including all manufacturing overhead but excluding distribution costs. All inventories are determined on a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis.

**Property, plant and equipment**. We record property, plant and equipment, including capitalized interest, at cost. We recognize acquired property, plant and equipment, from acquisitions at its estimated fair value. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (land improvements — 20 years, buildings and building equipment — 15 to 40 years, and machinery and equipment — 3 to 18 years). Gains and losses are reflected in income upon sale or retirement of assets. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of property, plant and equipment or increase productivity are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred through operating expense.

**Capitalized interest**. We capitalized interest costs of $12.0 million, $9.6 million, and $9.3 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These costs were primarily associated with the construction of certain long-lived assets and have been capitalized as part of the cost of those assets. We amortize capitalized interest over the assets' estimated useful lives.

**Impairments of long-lived assets**. We review the recovery of the net book value of long-lived assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that the net book value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the net book value, we recognize an impairment loss equal to an amount by which the net book value exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

**Asset retirement obligations**. We record asset retirement obligations ("AROs") at fair value at the time the liability is incurred if we can reasonably estimate the settlement date. The associated AROs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of related long-lived assets. In future periods, the liability is accreted to its present value and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. We also adjust the liability for changes resulting from the passage of time and/or revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate. Upon retirement of the long-lived asset, we either settle the obligation for its recorded amount or incur a gain or loss.

The carrying amounts for the AROs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are $14.3 million and $10.3 million, respectively. These amounts are included in *"Accrued and other liabilities"* and *"Other long-term liabilities"* on the consolidated balance sheet.

**Restructuring and other charges**. We continually perform strategic reviews and assess the return on our business. This sometimes results in a plan to restructure the operations of our business. We record an accrual for severance and other exit costs under the provisions of the relevant accounting guidance. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for more information on our restructuring programs, including Project Focus and Project Foundation, which were announced in December 2023 and 2025, respectively.

Additionally, as part of these restructuring plans, write-downs of long-lived assets may occur. Two types of assets are impacted: assets to be disposed of by sale and assets to be abandoned. Assets to be disposed of by sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or estimated net proceeds from the sale. Assets to be abandoned with no remaining future service potential are written down to amounts expected to be recovered. The useful life of assets to be abandoned that have a remaining future service potential are adjusted and depreciation is recorded over the adjusted useful life.

**Capitalized software**. We capitalize the costs of internal use software in accordance with accounting literature which generally requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred to develop or obtain internal use software. We assess the recoverability of capitalized software costs on an ongoing basis and record write-downs to fair value as necessary. We amortize capitalized software costs over expected useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. See Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for the net unamortized computer software balances.

**Goodwill and intangible assets**. Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets are not subject to amortization. Instead, they are subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test.

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

We test goodwill and indefinite life intangibles for impairment annually using the criteria prescribed by U.S. GAAP accounting guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets. In addition to our annual test and as a result of the significant decrease in our stock price during the fourth quarter of 2025, we performed a test of our goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. Based on this assessment, we recorded a write-off of our remaining goodwill balance in 2025. There was no impairment identified on our other intangible assets in 2025. We did not record any goodwill or intangible asset impairments in 2024 and 2023. During each of these assessments, we performed a quantitative assessment using a discounted cash flow model.

Finite-lived intangible assets consist of primarily customer relationships as well as patents, brands, registration rights, industry licenses, and other intangibles and are generally being amortized over periods of approximately 3 to 20 years. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for additional information on goodwill and intangible assets.

**Revenue recognition**. We recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy our performance obligation which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. Rebates due to customers are accrued as a reduction of revenue in the same period that the related sales are recorded based on the contract terms. Refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for further details.

We record amounts billed for shipping and handling fees as revenue. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded as costs of sales and services. Amounts billed for sales and use taxes, value-added taxes, and certain excise and other specific transactional taxes imposed on revenue-producing transactions are presented on a net basis and excluded from revenue on the consolidated statements of income (loss). We record a liability until remitted to the respective taxing authority.

We periodically enter into prepayment arrangements with customers and receive advance payments for product to be delivered in future periods. These advance payments are recorded as deferred revenue and classified as *"Advance payments from customers"* on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenue associated with advance payments is recognized as shipments are made and transfer of control to the customer takes place.

**Research and development**. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In-process research and development acquired as part of asset acquisitions, which include license and development agreements, are expensed as incurred and included as a component of *"Restructuring and other charges (income)"* on the consolidated statements of income (loss).

**Income and other taxes**. We provide current income taxes on income reported for financial statement purposes adjusted for transactions that do not enter into the computation of income taxes payable. We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. We have not provided income taxes for other outside basis differences inherent in our investments in subsidiaries because the investments and related unremitted earnings are essentially permanent in duration or we have concluded that no additional tax liability will arise upon disposal or remittance.

**Foreign currency**. We translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign operations at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. For foreign operations where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar we record translation gains and losses as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in equity. The foreign operations' income statements are translated at the monthly exchange rates for the period.

We record remeasurement gains and losses on monetary assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivables and payables, which are not in the functional currency of the operation. These remeasurement gains and losses are recorded in income as they occur. We generally enter into foreign currency contracts to mitigate the financial risk associated with these transactions. See "*Derivative financial instruments"* within this Note and Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K.

**Derivative financial instruments**. We mitigate certain financial exposures, including currency risk, interest rate risk and to a lesser extent commodity price exposures, through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments when applicable. We enter into foreign exchange contracts, including forward and purchased option contracts, to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative instrument is entered into, we generally designate the derivative as either a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge) or a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge). We record in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as, and meet all the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge. We then reclassify these amounts into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. We record immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges.

We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes relating derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. We also formally assess, both at the inception of the hedge and throughout its term, whether each derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. If we determine that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, or if a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting with respect to that derivative prospectively.

**Treasury stock**. We record shares of common stock repurchased at cost as treasury stock, resulting in a reduction of stockholders' equity on the consolidated balance sheets. When the treasury shares are contributed under our employee benefit plans or issued for option exercises, we use a FIFO method for determining cost. The difference between the cost of the shares and the market price at the time of contribution to an employee benefit plan is added to or deducted from the related capital in excess of par value of common stock.

**Segment information**. We operate as a single business segment providing innovative solutions to growers around the world. The business is supported by global corporate staff functions. The determination of a single segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the chief executive officer, who serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM"), for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets and both planning and forecasting future periods. For further details on the information reviewed by the CODM in assessing performance and allocating resources, refer to Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements within this Form 10-K.

As supplemental information, the Company discloses revenue at the geographical and product category level. Refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for this revenue detail.

Geographic long-lived assets include goodwill and other intangibles, net, property, plant and equipment, net and other non-current assets. Refer to Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for further details.

**Stock compensation plans**. We recognize compensation expense in the financial statements for all share options and other equity-based arrangements. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employee's requisite service period. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for further discussion on our share-based compensation.

**Environmental obligations**. We provide for environmental-related obligations when they are probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated. Where the available information is sufficient to estimate the amount of liability, that estimate has been used. Where the information is only sufficient to establish a range of probable liability and no point within the range is more likely than any other, the lower end of the range has been used.

Estimated obligations to remediate sites that involve oversight by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), or similar government agencies, are generally accrued no later than when a Record of Decision ("ROD"), or equivalent, is issued, or upon completion of a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study ("RI/FS"), or equivalent, that is submitted by us and the appropriate government agency or agencies. Estimates are reviewed quarterly and, if necessary, adjusted as additional information becomes available. The estimates can change substantially as additional information becomes available regarding the nature or extent of site contamination, required remediation methods, and other actions by or against governmental agencies or private parties.

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

Our environmental liabilities for continuing and discontinued operations are principally for costs associated with the remediation and/or study of sites at which we are alleged to have released hazardous substances into the environment. Such costs principally include, among other items, RI/FS, site remediation, costs of operation and maintenance of the remediation plan, management costs, fees to outside law firms and consultants for work related to the environmental effort, and future monitoring costs. Estimated site liabilities are determined based upon existing remediation laws and technologies, specific site consultants' engineering studies or by extrapolating experience with environmental issues at comparable sites.

Included in our environmental liabilities are costs for the operation, maintenance and monitoring ("OM&M") of site remediation plans. Such reserves are based on our best estimates for these OM&M plans. Over time we may incur OM&M costs in excess of these reserves. However, we are unable to reasonably estimate an amount in excess of our recorded reserves because we cannot reasonably estimate the period for which such OM&M plans will need to be in place or the future annual cost of such remediation, as conditions at these environmental sites change over time. Such additional OM&M costs could be significant in total but would be incurred over an extended period of years.

Included in the environmental reserve balance, other assets balance and disclosure of reasonably possible loss contingencies are amounts from third-party insurance policies which we believe are probable of recovery.

Provisions for environmental costs are reflected in income, net of probable and estimable recoveries from named Potentially Responsible Parties ("PRPs") or other third parties. All of our environmental provisions incorporate inflation and are not discounted to their present value, other than our reserve for our Pocatello Tribal Matter. We remeasure this discounted liability balance according to current interest rates. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for further information.

In calculating and evaluating the adequacy of our environmental reserves, we have taken into account the joint and several liability imposed by Comprehensive Environmental Remediation, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and the analogous state laws on all PRPs and have considered the identity and financial condition of the other PRPs at each site to the extent possible. We have also considered the identity and financial condition of other third parties from whom recovery is anticipated, as well as the status of our claims against such parties. Although we are unable to forecast the ultimate contributions of PRPs and other third parties with absolute certainty, the degree of uncertainty with respect to each party is taken into account when determining the environmental reserve on a site-by-site basis. Our liability includes our best estimate of the costs expected to be paid before the consideration of any potential recoveries from third parties. We believe that any recorded recoveries related to PRPs are realizable in all material respects. Recoveries are recorded as either an offset in "*Environmental liabilities, continuing and discontinue*d" or as "*Other assets including long-term receivables, net*" in our consolidated balance sheets in accordance with U.S. accounting literature.

**Pension and other postretirement benefits.** We provide qualified and nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, as well as postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans to our employees and retirees. The costs (or benefits) and obligations related to these benefits reflect key assumptions related to general economic conditions, including interest (discount) rates, healthcare cost trend rates, expected rates of return on plan assets and the rates of compensation increase for employees. The costs (or benefits) and obligations for these benefit programs are also affected by other assumptions, such as average retirement age, mortality, employee turnover, and plan participation. To the extent our plans' actual experience, as influenced by changing economic and financial market conditions or by changes to our own plans' demographics, differs from these assumptions, the costs and obligations for providing these benefits, as well as the plans' funding requirements, could increase or decrease. When actual results differ from our assumptions, the difference is typically recognized over future periods. In addition, the unrealized gains and losses related to our pension and postretirement benefit obligations may also affect periodic benefit costs (or benefits) in future periods. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for additional information relating to pension and other postretirement benefits.

**India Held for Sale Business.** In July 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the Company's commercial business in India in response to ongoing commercial challenges in the country. The sale process is underway and is expected to conclude during 2026; and, therefore, the assets related to this business are classified as held for sale beginning in the third quarter of 2025. The business does not qualify for recognition as discontinued operations and will continue to be presented in the Company's reported GAAP results until a transaction is completed.

*Total adjustment - approximately* $522 million for the year ended December 31, 2025

The assets associated with the India commercial business held a carrying value of approximately $960 million at June 30, 2025. We evaluated the fair value of the assets associated with the business and determined the estimated fair value less costs to sell to be $450 million. Accordingly, we recorded $522 million of charges and write-downs in 2025 as a result of one-time commercial actions to prepare the India business for sale and an asset impairment charge in accordance with the held-for-sale accounting standards. This adjustment was reflected across multiple income statement line items.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating results, substantially pre-sale commercial adjustments ($319.8 million): These one-time actions commenced during the period included product returns and pricing changes designed to (1) accelerate receivables collection, (2) optimize the working capital mix of receivables and inventory, and (3) address contemporaneous changes in local indirect taxation. These adjustments impacted both the *Revenue* and *Cost of sales and services* line items on the consolidated statement of income (loss), resulting in revenue charges for the India business in the second half of 2025. The $320 million is made up of revenue charges of $422 million, a credit to cost of sales of $128 million and selling, general and administrative charges of $26 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Asset impairment ($194.8 million): Following the commercial adjustments, we evaluated the remaining carrying value of the net assets associated with the business. The difference between the adjusted carrying value and the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, was recorded as an asset impairment, reflected within the *Restructuring and Other Charges* line item on the consolidated statement of income (loss).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Third-party costs ($7.1 million): We also incurred charges for third party provider costs in connection with preparing the India business for sale, reflected within the *Restructuring and Other Charges* line item on the consolidated statement of income (loss).

*Balance sheet impact -* The combination of commercial adjustments and impairment, as well as net transfers of $5.6 million between the India business and FMC as the parent company, resulted in a write-down of the net assets identified as held for sale to $450 million, as presented on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.

The table below summarizes the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **(in millions)** | **December 31, 2025** |
| Trade receivables, net of allowance of $3.7 million | $268.3 |
| Inventories | 219.2 |
| Prepaid and other current assets <sup>(1)</sup> | 142.2 |
| Property, plant and equipment, net | 9.7 |

| Impairment on assets held for sale | (194.8) |
| Assets held for sale | $611.7 |
| Accounts payable, trade and other | $22.3 |
| Accrued and other liabilities | 122.8 |
| Accrued customer rebates | 16.6 |
| Liabilities held for sale | $161.7 |
| Net assets held for sale | $450.0 |

**GSS Divestiture.** On November 1, 2024, we completed the sale of our Global Specialty Solutions ("GSS") business to Environmental Science US, LLC d/b/a Envu ("Envu") and received proceeds, net of the preliminary working capital adjustment, of approximately $340 million. During the second and third quarters of 2025, certain foreign assets, consisting primarily of working capital balances, were transferred to Envu as a result of local timing constraints at the time of the sale. We received consideration for the foreign assets, which were not material, at closing of the sale in 2024 and no additional consideration was received at the date of transfer.

**Note 2: Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Items**

**New accounting guidance and regulatory items** 

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,* to require disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the notes of the financial statements. The standard is effective for FMC beginning with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is required to be applied prospectively and amendments in the ASU may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impacts this standard will have on our disclosures.

**Recently adopted accounting guidance**

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Income Taxes*, to improve the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard requires companies to disclose a tabular effective rate reconciliation with certain reconciling items broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction as well as more robust disclosures of income taxes paid, specifically broken out between federal, state and foreign. The ASU is effective for FMC beginning with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and, as such, we have adopted the new disclosure requirements for this Form 10-K. Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for the required disclosures.

(1)Includes revenue charges of approximately $422 million driven by the one-time commercial actions to prepare the India commercial business for sale. Refer to Note 1 for further details on the India held for sale business.

We earn revenue from the sale of a wide range of products to a diversified base of customers around the world. We develop, market and sell all three major classes of crop protection chemicals (insecticides, herbicides and fungicides) as well as biologicals, crop nutrition, and seed treatment products, which we group as plant health. These products are used in agriculture to enhance crop yield and quality by controlling a broad spectrum of insects, weeds and disease, as well as in non-agricultural markets for pest control. The majority of our product lines consist of insecticides and herbicides, with a smaller portfolio of fungicides mainly used in high value crop segments. We are investing in plant health, which includes our growing biological products. Our insecticides are used to control a wide spectrum of pests, while our herbicide portfolio primarily targets a large variety of difficult-to-control weeds. Products in the other category include various agricultural products such as smaller classes of pesticides, growth promoters, and other miscellaneous revenue sources.

**Sale of Goods**

Revenue from product sales is recognized when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring the promised goods to a customer, that is, when control of the good transfers to the customer. The customer is then invoiced at the agreed-upon price with payment terms generally ranging from 30 to 90 days, with some regions providing terms longer than 90 days. We do not typically give payment terms that exceed 360 days; however, in certain geographical regions such as Latin America, these terms may be given in limited circumstances. Additionally, a timing difference of over one year can exist between when products are delivered to the customer and when payment is received from the customer in these regions; however, the effect of these sales is not material to the financial statements as a whole. Furthermore, we have assessed the circumstances and arrangements in these regions and determined that the contracts with these customers do not contain a significant financing component.

In determining when the control of goods is transferred, we typically assess, among other things, the transfer of risk and title and the shipping terms of the contract. The transfer of title and risk typically occurs either upon shipment to the customer or upon receipt by the customer. As such, we typically recognize revenue when goods are shipped based on the relevant Incoterm for the product order, or in some regions, when delivery to the customer's requested destination has occurred. When we perform shipping and handling activities after the transfer of control to the customer (e.g., when control transfers prior to delivery), they are considered as fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued for when the related revenue is recognized. For FOB shipping point terms, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment since the customer gains control at this point in time.

**Sales Incentives and Other Variable Considerations**

As a part of our customary business practice, we offer a number of sales incentives to our customers including volume discounts, retailer incentives, and prepayment options. The variable considerations given can differ by products, support levels and other eligibility criteria. For all such contracts that include any variable consideration, we estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Although determining the transaction price for these considerations requires significant judgment, we have significant historical experience with incentives provided to customers and estimate the expected consideration considering historical patterns of incentive payouts. These estimates are reassessed each reporting period as required.

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

In addition to the variable considerations described above, in certain instances, we may require our customers to meet certain volume thresholds within their contract term. We estimate what amount of variable consideration should be included in the transaction price at contract inception and continually reassess this estimation each reporting period to determine situations when the minimum volume thresholds will not be met.

**Right of Return**

We extend an assurance warranty offering customers a right of refund or exchange in case delivered product does not conform to specifications. Additionally, in certain regions and arrangements, we may offer a right of return for a specified period. Both instances are accounted for as a right of return and transaction price is adjusted for an estimate of expected returns. Replacement products are accounted for under the warranty guidance if the customer exchanges one product for another of the same kind, quality, and price. We have significant experience with historical return patterns and use this experience to include returns in the estimate of transaction price.

**Contract Asset and Contract Liability Balances**

We satisfy our obligations by transferring goods and services in exchange for consideration from customers. The timing of performance sometimes differs from the timing the associated consideration is received from the customer, thus resulting in the recognition of a contract asset or contract liability. We recognize a contract liability if the customer's payment of consideration is received prior to completion of our related performance obligation.

The following table presents the opening and closing balances of our receivables, net of allowances and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in Millions)** | **Balance as of December 31, 2025** | **Balance as of December 31, 2024** | **Increase (Decrease)** |
| Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowances | $2137.1 | $2942.9 | $(805.8) |
| Contract liabilities: Advance payments from customers | 453.1 | 453.8 | (0.7) |

---

The amount of revenue recognized in the year ended December 31, 2025 that was included in the opening contract liability balance was $453.8 million.

The balance of receivables from contracts with customers listed in the table above include both current trade receivables and long-term receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The change in allowance for doubtful accounts for both current trade receivables and long-term receivables for any period is representative of the impairment or the write-off of receivables. Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for further information.

We periodically enter into prepayment arrangements with customers and receive advance payments for product to be delivered in future periods. Prepayment terms are extended to customers/distributors in order to capitalize on surplus cash with growers. Growers receive bulk payments for their produce, which they leverage to buy our products from distributors through prepayment options. This in turn creates opportunity for distributors to make large prepayments to us for securing the future supply of products to be sold to growers. Prepayments are typically received in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, and are for the following marketing year indicating that the time difference between prepayment and performance of corresponding performance obligations does not exceed one year.

We recognize these prepayments as a liability under "Advance payments from customers" on the consolidated balance sheets when they are received. Revenue associated with advance payments is recognized as shipments are made and transfer of control to the customer takes place.

**Performance Obligations**

At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all the goods or services promised in the contract, whether explicitly stated or implied based on customary business practices. Based on our evaluation, we have determined that our current contracts do not contain more than one performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service.

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

Periodically, we may enter into contracts with customers which require them to submit a forecast of non-binding purchase obligations to us. These forecasts are typically provided by the customer to us in good faith, and there are no penalties or obligations if the forecasts are not met. Accordingly, we have determined that these are optional purchases and do not represent material rights and are not considered as unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations.

In separate and less common circumstances, we may have contracts with customers which have binding purchase requirements for just one quarter of their annual forecasts. Additionally, as noted in the Contract Liabilities section above, we periodically enter into agricultural prepayment arrangements with customers, and receive advance payments for product to be delivered in future periods within one year.

**Other Arrangements**

*Data Licensing*

We sometimes grant to third parties a license and right to rely upon pesticide regulatory data filed with government agencies. Such licenses allow a licensee to cite and rely upon our data in connection with the licensee's application for pesticide registrations as required by law; these licenses can be granted through contract or through a mandatory statutory license, depending on circumstances. In the most common occurrence, when a license is embedded in a contract for supply of pesticide active ingredient from us to the licensee, the license grant is not considered as distinct from other promised goods or services. Accordingly, all promises are treated as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a point when the control of the pesticide products is transferred to the licensee-customer. In the less frequent occurrence, when the license and right to use data is granted without a supply contract, we account for the revenue attributable to the data license as a performance obligation satisfied at a single point in time and recognize revenue on the effective date of such contract. Finally, in those circumstance of mandatory data licensing by statute, such as under U.S. pesticide law, we recognize the data compensation upon the effective date of the data compensation settlement agreement. Payment terms for these arrangements may vary by contract.

**Practical Expedients and Exemptions**

We have elected the following practical expedients under ASC 606:

***a.Costs of obtaining a contract:*** FMC incurs certain costs such as sales commissions which are incremental to obtaining the contract. We have taken the practical expedient of expensing such costs to obtain a contract, as and when they are incurred, as their expected amortization period is one year or less.

***b.Significant financing component:*** We elected not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if FMC expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

***c.Remaining performance obligations:*** We elected not to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for its contracts that are one year or less, as the revenue is expected to be recognized within one year. Additionally, we have elected not to disclose information about variable considerations for remaining, wholly unsatisfied performance obligations for which the criteria in paragraph 606-10-32-40 have been met.

***d.Shipping and handling costs****:* We elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as fulfillment activities (i.e., an expense) rather than as a promised service.

***e.Measurement of transaction price:*** We have elected to exclude from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer.

Our fiscal year 2025 annual goodwill and indefinite life impairment test was performed during the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. At the time of the annual impairment test, we determined no goodwill impairment existed and that the fair value was in excess of the carrying value. Additionally, no indefinite-lived asset impairment existed and the estimated fair values also exceeded the carrying value for each of our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

As a result of the significant decrease in our stock price during the fourth quarter of 2025, we performed a test of our goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. We recorded a $1,356.2 million write-off of our remaining goodwill balance in connection with the impairment test. There was no impairment identified on our other intangible assets.

Our intangible assets, other than goodwill, consist of the following:

(1)Other charges, primarily represents third-party costs associated with various restructuring activities. The year ended December 31, 2024, includes $132.1 million related to contract abandonment charges. Other income, if applicable, primarily represents favorable developments on previously recorded exit costs and recoveries associated with restructuring.

(2)Primarily represents asset write-offs (recoveries), and accelerated depreciation and impairment charges on long-lived assets, which were or are to be abandoned. To the extent incurred, the acceleration effect of re-estimating settlement dates and revised cost estimates associated with asset retirement obligations due to facility shutdowns, are also included within the asset disposal charges.

**<u>Project Foundation</u>**

In December 2025, the Board of Directors approved management's comprehensive plan, referred to as Project Foundation, to further optimize FMC's cost structure and organizational operations. A key component of this initiative is the Manufacturing Restructuring Program, which focuses on redesigning FMC's manufacturing footprint. This includes exiting certain high-cost active ingredient and formulation plants and transitioning production to lower-cost sources. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we incurred non-cash asset write-off and accelerated depreciation costs of $155.7 million primarily associated with the planned exit of certain production activities, other miscellaneous charges, which includes professional service provider costs, of $14.5 million and severance and employee separation costs of $1.8 million. The remaining amounts will be reflected in our consolidated results of operations as they become probable and estimable or a triggering event is identified in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance.

**<u>Project Focus</u>**

We previously implemented a global restructuring plan, referred to as "Project Focus," designed to right-size our cost base and optimize our footprint and organizational structure in light of the precipitous drop in demand across the crop protection market in 2023. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, charges incurred related to Project Focus include $25.4 million of severance and employee separation costs, $27.8 million of other miscellaneous charges, including professional service provider costs, and write-offs of $45.9 million on assets identified for disposal, which includes $27.0 million of abandonment charges recorded in connection with a shutdown of a product line at one of our manufacturing locations. The remaining amounts will be reflected in our consolidated results of operations as they become probable and estimable or a triggering event is identified in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance.

Environmental charges represent the net charges associated with environmental remediation at continuing operating sites, which primarily represent obligations at shut down or abandoned facilities but do not meet the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations.

***Write-off of goodwill***

As a result of the significant decrease in our stock price during the fourth quarter of 2025, we performed a test of our goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. We recorded a $1,356.2 million write-off of our remaining goodwill balance in connection with the impairment test.

***India held for sale business***

In July 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the Company's commercial business in India in response to ongoing commercial challenges in the country. The sale process is underway and is expected to conclude during 2026; and, therefore, the assets related to this business are classified as held for sale beginning in the third quarter of 2025. Following the commercial adjustments mentioned in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the remaining carrying value of the net assets associated with the business. The difference between the adjusted carrying value and the estimated fair value, less costs to sale, was recorded as an impairment charge of $194.8 million. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we also incurred $7.1 million in charges for third party provider costs in connection with preparing the India business for sale. Refer to Note 1 for further details on the India held for sale business.

***Sale of the GSS business***

On November 1, 2024, we completed the sale of our GSS business to Envu. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a gain on sale, net of full year incurred transaction costs, of $174.4 million. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we also paid $11.7 million to Envu as a true-up of the final working capital adjustment related to the sale. Refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for additional information on the transaction.

***Currency related matters&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we incurred $7.7 million in currency related charges driven by substantial actions implemented by the Argentine Government during the third quarter of 2025. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we incurred $75.2 million in currency related charges driven by significant devaluation actions taken by the Argentine Government during the fourth quarter of 2023 as well as similar devaluation actions in Pakistan and Argentina during previous quarters of 2023.

***Furadan® product exit***

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a charge of $11.9 million due to changes in our estimate for Furadan***®*** disposal costs at our Middleport site.

***IPR&D asset acquisition charges***

During 2023, we finalized a development agreement to acquire a data set that includes studies and technical research that will be used to support the development of new herbicide active ingredient formulations and product registrations. Acquired in-process research and development assets are expensed as incurred and included as a component of *"Restructuring and other charges (income)"* on the consolidated statements of income (loss).

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

We have non-current receivables that represent long-term customer receivable balances related to past due accounts which are not expected to be collected within the current year. The net long-term customer receivables were $75.1 million as of December 31, 2025. These long-term customer receivable balances and the corresponding allowance are included in *"Other assets including long-term receivables, net*" on the consolidated balance sheets.

A portion of these long-term receivables have payment contracts. We have no reason to believe payments will not be made based upon the credit quality of these customers. Additionally, we also hold significant collateral against these customers including rights to property or other assets as a form of credit guarantee. If the customer does not pay or gives indication that they will not pay, these guarantees allow us to start legal action to block the sale of the customer's harvest.

The following table displays a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses related to long-term customer receivables.

**Receivables Securitization Facility:**

FMC participates in certain trade receivables securitization programs, primarily impacting our Brazilian operations. On a revolving basis, FMC may sell certain trade receivables into the facilities in exchange for cash. A portion of the total receivables sold are deferred as an asset within "*Other assets including long-term receivables, net*" as presented on our consolidated balance sheets representing FMC's beneficial interest in the securitization funds.

In all instances, the transferred financial assets are sold on a non-recourse basis and have met the true sale criteria under ASC Topic 860. FMC has surrendered control of the receivables and as a result they will no longer be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. FMC may be engaged to serve as a special servicer for any delinquent receivables. In that capacity, we are entitled to market rate compensation for those services.

Cash receipts from the sale of trade receivables under the securitization arrangement, received at the time of sale, are classified as cash flows from operating activities.

There were $212.6 million and $193.0 million in receivables sold under the securitization programs during the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A charge of $13.0 million and $18.2 million associated with the transfer of these financial assets is included as a component within *Selling, general and administrative*" expense during the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As part of funding for all outstanding arrangements under the securitization programs, approximately $35.7 million of the sales have been retained by the investment fund and will be returned to FMC, including interest, at the maturity of the securitization. This asset is recorded within *"Other assets including long-term receivables, net"* on the consolidated balance sheets.

**Other Receivable Factoring:** 

In addition to the above, we may sell trade receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions. These sales are normally driven by specific market conditions, including, but not limited to, foreign exchange environments, customer credit management, as well as other factors where the receivables originate.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

We account for these transactions as true sales and as a result they will no longer be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets because the agreements transfer effective control and risk related to the receivables to the buyers. The net cash proceeds received are presented within cash provided by operating activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows. The cost of factoring these accounts receivables is recorded within *"Selling, general and administrative expenses"* on the consolidated statements of income (loss) and has been immaterial during each reporting period. Non-recourse factoring during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $300.4 million and $122.9 million, respectively.

**Note 9: Discontinued Operations**

Our discontinued operations in our financial statements include adjustments to retained liabilities from previous discontinued operations. The primary liabilities retained include environmental liabilities, other postretirement benefit liabilities, self-insurance liabilities, long-term obligations related to legal proceedings and historical restructuring activities.

Our discontinued operations comprised the following:

___________________________

(1)The provision for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes an $11.7 million charge resulting from a settlement agreement related to one of our foreign environmental remediation sites. The charge recorded adjusts the reserve to the anticipated payment amount. The agreement removes any future remediation obligations for the site.

(2)See a roll forward of our environmental reserves as well as discussion on significant environmental issues that occurred during the year in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K.

(3)We recorded a $34.5 million reduction in our required legal reserve in discontinued operations during the second quarter of 2025 as a result of a decrease in outstanding cases. Discontinued operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes a gain of $18.0 million recognized as the result of an insurance settlement for retained legal reserves.

(1)Included in *"Other long-term liabilities"* on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K on discontinued environmental reserves.

The discontinued postretirement medical and life insurance benefits liability equals the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. Associated with this liability is a net pre-tax actuarial gain and prior service credit of $0.9 million (zero after-tax) and $3.0 million ($1.7 million after-tax) at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Net spending in 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $2.1 million, $6.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for workers' compensation, product liability and other claims; zero, $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for other postretirement benefits; and $29.6 million, $6.8 million and $28.3 million, respectively, related to reserves for legal proceedings associated with discontinued operations.

**Note 10: Environmental Obligations**

We are subject to various federal, state, supranational, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations that govern emissions of air pollutants, discharges of water pollutants, the manufacture, generation, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous substances, hazardous wastes and other toxic materials, and remediation of contaminated sites. We are also subject to liabilities arising under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA and similar or analogous state laws that impose responsibility on persons who arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances, and on current and previous owners and operators of a facility for the clean-up of hazardous substances released from the facility into the environment. We are also subject to liabilities under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and similar or analogous state laws that require owners and operators of facilities that have treated, stored or disposed of hazardous waste pursuant to a RCRA permit to follow certain waste management practices and to investigate and clean up releases of hazardous substances into the environment associated with past or present practices. In addition, when deemed appropriate, we enter certain sites with potential liability into voluntary remediation compliance programs, which are also subject to guidelines that require owners and operators, current and previous, to clean up releases of hazardous substances into the environment associated with those sites.

Environmental liabilities include obligations relating to waste handling and the remediation and/or study of sites at which we are alleged to have released or disposed of hazardous substances. These sites include current operations, previously operated sites, sites associated with discontinued operations, or sites where we are alleged to have arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances. We have accrued reserves for potential environmental obligations that we consider probable and for which a reasonable estimate of the obligation can be made. Accordingly, total reserves before recoveries of $705.7 million and $623.2 million existed at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The estimated reasonably possible environmental loss contingencies, net of expected recoveries, exceed amounts accrued by approximately $273 million at December 31, 2025. This reasonably possible estimate is based upon information available as of the date of the filing but the actual future losses may be higher given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of potentially responsible parties, technology and information related to individual sites.

Additionally, although potential environmental remediation expenditures in excess of the reserves and estimated loss contingencies could be significant, the impact on our future consolidated financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation due to numerous uncertainties concerning the nature and scope of possible contamination at many sites, identification of remediation alternatives under constantly changing requirements, selection of new and diverse clean-up technologies to meet compliance standards, the timing of potential expenditures and the allocation of costs among potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") as well as other third parties. The liabilities arising from potential environmental obligations that have not been reserved for at this time may be material to any one quarter's or year's results of operations in the future.

**Significant Environmental Sites** 

***Pocatello***

From 1949 until 2001, we operated the world's largest elemental phosphorus plant in Power County, Idaho, just outside the city of Pocatello. Since the plant's closure, FMC has worked with the US Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the State of Idaho, and the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes ("Tribes") to develop a proposed cleanup plan for the property. In September 2012, the EPA issued an Interim Record of Decision ("IROD") that is environmentally protective and that is also protective of the health and safety of both workers and the general public. Since the plant's closure, we have successfully decommissioned our Pocatello plant, completed closure of the RCRA ponds and formally requested that the EPA acknowledge completion of work under a June 1999 RCRA Consent Decree. Future remediation costs include completion of the IROD that addresses groundwater contamination and existing waste disposal areas on the Pocatello plant portion of the Eastern Michaud Flats Superfund Site. In June 2013, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order to us under which we are continuing to implement the IROD remedy. Our current reserves factor in the estimated costs associated with implementing the IROD. In addition to implementing the IROD, we continue to conduct work pursuant to CERCLA unilateral administrative orders to address air emissions from beneath the cap of several of the closed RCRA ponds. Actions also involve impacts of the Tribal Litigation discussed below.

The amount of the reserve for this site was $171.4 million and $115.9 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase to the reserve was primarily a result of our submission of a Post-Closure Care Plan to the EPA outlining the scope and schedule for operations, monitoring, and maintenance of the closed RCRA Ponds. The reserve includes $28.3 million at December 31, 2025 for the Pocatello Tribal Litigation as described below.

*Annual Tribal Waste Permit Fee*

After prolonged litigation with the Tribes concerning an annual $1.5 million waste permit fee, we were ordered to pay this annual fee for the duration of time that waste material remains buried on site. Given that on-site waste burial is the approved remedy, this fee is presumptively without end.

Our reserves reflect this annual waste permit fee. We anticipate incurring $1.5 million in annual fees payable each year and have estimated an aggregate undiscounted amount related to this matter of $75.0 million. On a discounted basis, $28.3 million has been recognized in environmental liabilities on the balance sheet. In calculating the net present value of these future annual permit fees, we used a discount rate of 4.79%, which represents the appropriate risk-free rate. We believe that the application of this rate produces a result which approximates the amount that would hypothetically satisfy our liability in an arms-length transaction.

***Middleport***

Our Middleport, NY facility is currently a formulation and packaging plant that formerly manufactured arsenic-based and other products. Releases of hazardous substances have occurred at the site that have affected soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater at the facility's property and also in adjacent off-site areas. These impacts were the subject of an Administrative Order on Consent entered into with the USEPA and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYSDEC", and collectively with USEPA, the "Agencies") in 1991, which was replaced by a New Order on Consent and Administrative Settlement with the NYSDEC, effective June 6, 2019 ("2019 Order"). Like the prior order, the 2019 Order requires us to (1) define the nature and extent of contamination related to our historical plant operations, (2) take interim corrective measures and (3) evaluate Corrective Measure Alternatives ("CMA") for discrete areas, known as operable units ("OUs") of which there are 11.

We have defined the nature and extent of the environmental impacts in certain areas, have constructed an engineered cover, taken certain closure actions regarding RCRA regulated surface water impoundments and are collecting and treating both surface water runoff and ground water. To date, we have evaluated and proposed CMAs for six of the 11 identified OUs.

*Middleport Reserves*

Our total reserve for the Middleport site is $121.9 million and $128.5 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. FMC is in various stages of evaluating the remaining operable units. The reserve represents the estimated remediation costs for OUs 2,4 and 5 as well as our best estimate for remediation costs associated with the operable unit that comprises the southern portion of the tributary ("OU 6") plus the impact of inflation.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

In 2025 and 2024, the Middleport site resulted in cash outflows of $8.3 million and $10.0 million, respectively. In accordance with the 2019 Order, cash outflows will not exceed an average of $10 million per year until the remediation is complete for activities associated with the 2019 Order.

***Portland Harbor***

FMC is listed as a PRP in the Portland Harbor Superfund Site ("Portland Harbor"), that consists of the river sediment and upland area of a 10 mile section of the Lower Willamette River in Portland, Oregon that runs through an industrialized area. Portland Harbor is listed on the CERCLA National Priorities List ("NPL"). FMC formerly owned and operated a manufacturing site adjacent to this section of the river and has since sold its interest in this discontinued business.

FMC and several other parties have been sued by the Confederated Bands and Tribes of the Yakama Nation for reimbursement of cleanup costs and the costs of performing a natural resource damages assessment. Based on the information known to date, we are unable to develop a reasonable estimate of our potential exposure of loss at this time. We intend to defend this matter. In addition, the Portland Harbor Natural Resource Trustee Council ("Trustee Council"), composed of federal, state and tribal trustees, was formed in 2002 to develop and coordinate an assessment of injury to natural resources associated with the Portland Harbor Superfund Site, to implement the restoration of injured natural resources associated with Portland Harbor, and to pursue the recovery of natural resources damages associated with Portland Harbor. The Trustee Council has advised the Company that it intends to pursue litigation for the recovery of natural resources damages and of the costs of assessment. To date, the Company has not been served in connection with such a lawsuit.

On January 6, 2017, the EPA issued its ROD for Portland Harbor. On December 30, 2019, FMC and EPA entered into an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent to perform the remedial design for the area at and around FMC's former operations. The cost of performing predesign investigation work and preparing the basis of design report is included in our reserves. Based on the current information available in the ROD as well as the large number of responsible parties for Portland Harbor, we are unable to develop a reasonable estimate of our potential exposure of loss for Portland Harbor at this time.

Currently, FMC and approximately 100 other parties are involved in a non-judicial allocation process to determine each party's respective share of the cleanup costs. The allocation process has been ongoing since November 2021 and a final report is expected to be issued in early 2026 under the current schedule.

In November 2024, FMC was served by the EPA with a Special Notice Letter ("SNL") inviting FMC and approximately sixty other recipients to participate in formal negotiations to reach a settlement to conduct or finance the response action at Portland Harbor. The EPA advises in the SNL that it seeks to complete the negotiations for a site-wide consent decree in the fall of 2026, but no later than March 2027. The SNL recipients sought and received certain clarifications from the EPA with respect to the SNL. Our response to the SNL was submitted on May 30, 2025. The parties in the allocation group are continuing to negotiate with the EPA.

We intend to continue defending this matter vigorously. Because of this uncertainty related to the cost of the remedy and the potential share allocable to FMC, we cannot say whether the ultimate resolution of our potential obligations at Portland Harbor will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, adverse results in the outcome of the allocation could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations in any one reporting period, or liquidity.

***Other Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") Sites***

In addition to Portland Harbor, we have been named a PRP at 28 sites on the NPL, at which our potential liability has not yet been settled. We have received notice from the EPA or other regulatory agencies that we may be a PRP, or PRP equivalent, at other sites, including 45 sites at which we have determined that it is probable that we have an environmental liability for which we have recorded an estimate of our potential liability on the consolidated financial statements. At other sites, such as at a former phosphorus facility in Carteret, NJ, we are performing remedial investigation work under state regulatory programs but have not established reserves due to the inability to reasonably estimate potential liability at this time.

In cooperation with appropriate government agencies, we are currently participating in, or have participated in, an RI/FS, or equivalent, at most of the identified sites, with the status of each investigation varying from site to site. At certain sites, a RI/FS has only recently begun, providing limited information, if any, relating to cost estimates, timing, or the involvement of other PRPs; whereas, at other sites, the studies are complete, remedial action plans have been chosen, or a ROD has been issued.

___________________________

(1)A significant amount of our earnings is generated by our foreign subsidiaries (e.g., Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong), which tax earnings at lower statutory rates than the United States federal statutory rate. Our future effective tax rates may be materially impacted by a future change in the composition of earnings from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions.

(2)The years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 includes tax expense of $18.1 million, and $25.5 million, respectively, associated with the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) provisions.

(3)The year ended December 31, 2024 relates to the estimated portion of nonrefundable tax credits within our Swiss operations that are not expected to be utilized, the impact of the step-up in tax basis to the fair value of the transferred intellectual property by the Company's Swiss subsidiary, and net operating losses within our full valuation allowance Luxembourg operations. The year ended December 31, 2023 is primarily related to the estimated portion of nonrefundable tax credits within our Swiss operations that are not expected to be utilized and net operating losses and other deferred tax assets within our Argentina operations, partially offset by the release of the valuation allowance within our Brazil operations, as described further below.

(4)Includes the impact of transaction gains or losses on net monetary assets for which no corresponding tax expense or benefit is realized and the tax provision for statutory taxable gains or losses in foreign jurisdictions for which there is no corresponding amount in income before taxes.

(5)The year ended December 31, 2024 represents the recognition of a step-up in tax basis to the fair value of the transferred intellectual property by the Company's Swiss subsidiary. The year ended December 31, 2023 is related to ten-year nonrefundable tax credits granted to the Company's Swiss subsidiaries, as discussed above.

(6)The year ended December 31, 2024 includes a U.S. capital loss in the amount of $38.6 million and additional amounts materially attributable to internal restructuring in our full valuation allowance Luxembourg entities. The year ended December 31, 2023 includes a net decrease of approximately $120 million related to adjustments of deferred tax balances in Singapore, Puerto Rico, and Switzerland.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company's Swiss subsidiaries were granted ten-year tax incentives effective for 2023 and retroactively for 2021 and 2022. The tax incentives were awarded for the Company's commitment to invest in additional headcount and transfer significant intellectual property as well as commitment to establish a new global technology and innovation center in Switzerland. Net deferred tax benefits of $1,149 million and related valuation allowances of $318 million were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2023 to reflect the estimated net future reductions in tax of $831 million associated with the incentives.

In connection with our plans to establish a global technology and innovation center in Switzerland, we initiated changes to our corporate entity structure, including intra-entity transfers of certain intellectual property, during the second quarter of 2024. As a result, we recorded a net tax benefit of approximately $300 million. This benefit, net of valuation allowance, was primarily a result of the recognition of a step-up in tax basis to the fair value of the transferred intellectual property by one of the Company's Swiss subsidiaries. In addition, local tax impacts associated with the disposition of the transferred intellectual property were recorded as well as an increase in our valuation allowance associated with Swiss nonrefundable tax credits as a result of indirect effects of the transferred intellectual property.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

Historically, FMC's Brazil valuation allowance position was based on long-standing local transfer pricing rules, as well as certain material favorable permanent statutory tax deductions available to FMC Brazil as part of local tax law. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company released its FMC Brazil valuation allowance and recorded a tax benefit of approximately $223 million as a result of the Brazilian Government enacting a new tax law that significantly limits FMC Brazil's ability to benefit in the future from the material favorable permanent statutory tax deductions previously available as part of local tax law.

Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities were attributable to:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31,** | **December 31,** |
| **(in Millions)** | **2025** | **2024** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)** | $**1161.5** | $**1437.8** |

We evaluate our deferred income taxes quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. GAAP accounting guidance requires companies to assess whether valuation allowances should be established against deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a "more likely than not" standard. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, appropriate consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of deferred tax assets. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and tax planning alternatives. We operate and derive income across multiple jurisdictions. As our business experiences changes in operating results across its geographic footprint, we may encounter losses in jurisdictions that have been historically profitable, and as a result might require additional valuation allowances to be recorded. We are committed to implementing tax planning actions, when deemed appropriate, in jurisdictions that experience losses in order to realize deferred tax assets prior to their expiration.

In January of 2025, the OECD issued administrative guidance that will limit the economic benefit of certain non-refundable tax credits ("Swiss credits"), which were granted to our Swiss subsidiaries in 2023. We may pay more top-up tax in the future as a result of the January 2025 guidance. Because we apply an accounting policy to exclude the effects of Pillar Two top-up taxes from our analysis of the realizability of certain deferred tax assets, our valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset for the Swiss credits will not be impacted by the January 2025 guidance.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("the Act") was enacted into law in the United States ("U.S."). The Act includes multiple changes to U.S. tax legislation with various effective dates beginning in 2025. These changes include provisions related to the limitation of business interest expense, the international tax framework, and other elements of U.S. tax law. During the third quarter, we recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $47 million against historical deferred tax assets associated with interest expense that we do not anticipate being able to utilize in the future due to the enacted legislative changes. We are continuing to evaluate the income tax implications of the Act to our consolidated financial statements.

On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "OECD") released Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large corporations at a minimum rate of 15% implemented via a top-up tax. The impacts of Pillar Two legislation were not material to the year ended December 31, 2025. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the Pillar Two Framework as legislative changes are enacted and additional guidance becomes available.

___________________________

(1)At December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 we recognized an offsetting non-current asset of $9.3 million, $10.5 million, and $12.9 million respectively, relating to the indirect income tax benefits associated with specific uncertain tax positions presented above.

U.S. GAAP accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a model for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition.

As of December 31, 2025, we had total unrecognized tax benefits of $52.7 million, of which $42.4 million would favorably impact the effective tax rate from continuing operations if recognized. As of December 31, 2024, we had total unrecognized tax benefits of $53.1 million, of which $41.5 million would favorably impact the effective tax rate if recognized. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are reported as a component of income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we had interest and penalties for a net expense (benefit) of $3.0 million, $2.3 million, and $4.3 million, respectively, on the consolidated statements of income (loss). As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we have accrued interest and penalties on the consolidated balance sheets of $21.6 million and $18.6 million, respectively.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The income tax returns for FMC entities taxable in the U.S. and significant foreign jurisdictions are open for examination and adjustment. As of December 31, 2025, the U.S. federal returns are open for examination and adjustment for the years 2017 — 2019 and 2021 — 2025. The U.S. state income tax returns are open for examination and adjustment for the years 2005 — 2025. Our significant foreign jurisdictions, which total 12, are open for examination and adjustment during varying periods from 2015 — 2025.

The amounts of cash income taxes paid, net of refunds, after the adoption of ASU 2023-09 are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **December 31,** |
| **(in Millions)** | **2025** |

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

**Subordinated Notes**

On May 27, 2025, the Company completed the sale of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 8.45% Subordinated Notes due November 1, 2055. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to redeem $500 million of the senior notes due May 18, 2026 and for general corporate purposes. The Company paid a make-whole premium of $3.3 million in connection with the early redemption of the senior notes, which is recorded within *"Non-operating pension, postretirement and other charges (income)"* on the consolidated statement of income (loss).

**Covenants** 

Among other restrictions, the Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants applicable to FMC and its consolidated subsidiaries related to leverage (measured as the ratio of debt to adjusted earnings) and interest coverage (measured as the ratio of adjusted earnings to interest expense). In February 2025 and December 2025, the Company amended its credit agreement to provide additional financial flexibility given current market challenges. As defined in Amendment No 5. to our Revolving Credit Facility, the maximum leverage ratio is increased to 6.00 through the period ending September 30, 2026 and will incrementally step up or down during the covenant relief period ending at 3.75 for the quarter ended December 31, 2028. The amendment also lowers the minimum interest coverage ratio to 2.00 through the period ending June 30, 2027. The minimum interest coverage ratio will step up to 2.50 beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2027. Increases to the Company's regular quarterly dividend are limited and other restrictions are effective as defined in the amended agreement entered into in December 2025. Financing fees associated with these amendments were not material, have been deferred and will be recognized as interest expense over the life of the agreement.

Our actual leverage for the four consecutive quarters ended December 31, 2025 was 4.58, which is below the maximum leverage of 6.00. Our actual interest coverage for the four consecutive quarters ended December 31, 2025 was 3.48, which is above the minimum interest coverage of 2.00. We were in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2025.

**Note 13: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits**

The funded status of our U.S. qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans, our Germany, France, and Belgium defined benefit pension plans, plus our U.S. other postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefit plans for continuing operations, together with the associated balances and net periodic benefit cost recognized in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, are shown in the tables below.

We are required to recognize in our consolidated balance sheets the overfunded and underfunded status of our defined benefit postretirement plans. The overfunded or underfunded status is defined as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. We are also required to recognize as a component of other comprehensive income the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits that arise during the period.

The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations at December 31 for the U.S. Plans:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Pensions and Other Benefits** | **Pensions and Other Benefits** |
| | **December 31,** | **December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Discount rate qualified | 5.32% | 5.60% |
| Discount rate nonqualified plan | 4.71% | 5.31% |
| Discount rate other benefits | 4.89% | 5.40% |
| Rate of compensation increase | 3.10% | 3.10% |

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, lump sums paid during the year exceeded the ASC 715-30 settlement threshold, which resulted in the recognition of settlement expense during the periods. During the year ended December 31, 2023, as a result of restructuring activities planned in connection with Project Focus, we triggered a curtailment of our U.S. pension plans. These expenses are recorded within *"Non-operating pension and postretirement charges (income)"* on the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan ("U.S. Plan") holds the majority of our pension plan assets. The expected long-term rate of return on these plan assets was 5.25 percent for the year ended December 31, 2025, 4.50 percent for the year ended December 31, 2024, and 4.75 percent for the year ended December 31, 2023. The expected long-term rate of return on these plan assets increased by 0.75 percent in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to fluctuating yields on corporate bonds. In developing the assumption for the long-term rate of return on assets for our U.S. Plan, we take into consideration the technical analysis performed by our outside actuaries, including historical market returns, information on the assumption for long-term real returns by asset class, inflation assumptions and expectations for standard deviation related to these best estimates. Given an actively managed investment portfolio, the expected annual rates of return by asset class for our portfolio, assuming an estimated inflation rate of approximately 2.30 percent, is in line with our assumption for the rate of return on assets. The target asset allocation at December 31, 2025 by asset category continues to be 100 percent fixed income investments.

Our U.S. Plan is fully funded and, effective July 1, 2007, all newly hired and rehired salaried and nonunion hourly employees are not eligible for the U.S. Plan. As such, the primary investment strategy is a liability hedging approach with an objective of maintaining the funded status of the plan such that the volatility is minimized and the likelihood that we will be required to make significant contributions to the plan is also limited. The portfolio is comprised of 100 percent fixed income securities and cash. Investment performance and related risks are measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through monthly liability measurements, periodic asset liability studies, and quarterly investment portfolio reviews. We use the fair value approach for our liability-hedging asset class. This class of assets is comprised solely of fixed income securities and therefore, provides a natural hedge (liability-hedging assets) against the changes in the recorded amount of net periodic benefit cost.

**FMC Corporation Savings and Investment Plan**. The FMC Corporation Savings and Investment Plan is a qualified salary-reduction plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code in which substantially all of our U.S. employees may participate by contributing a portion of their compensation. For eligible employees participating in the Plan, except for those employees covered by certain collective bargaining agreements, the Company makes matching contributions of 80 percent of the portion of those contributions up to 5 percent of the employee's compensation. Eligible employees participating in the Plan that do not participate in the U.S. qualified pension plan are entitled to receive an employer contribution of 5 percent of the employee's eligible compensation. Charges against income for all contributions were $15.6 million in 2025, $14.6 million in 2024, and $19.1 million in 2023.

**Note 14: Share-based Compensation**

**Stock Compensation Plans**

We have a share-based compensation plan, which has been approved by the stockholders, for certain employees, officers and directors. This plan is described below.

*FMC Corporation Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan*

The FMC Corporation 2023 Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan") was approved on April 27, 2023, and provides for the grant of a variety of cash and equity awards to officers, directors, employees and consultants, including stock options, restricted stock, performance units (including restricted stock units), stock appreciation rights, and multi-year management incentive awards payable partly in cash and partly in common stock. The Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"), subject to the provisions of the Plan, approves financial targets, award grants, and the times and conditions for payment of awards to employees. Approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock are available for future grants of share based awards under the Plan as of December 31, 2025. The FMC Corporation Non-Employee Directors' Compensation Policy, administered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors, sets forth the compensation to be paid to the directors, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and cash awards to be made to directors under the Plan.

Stock options granted under the Plan may be incentive or nonqualified stock options. The exercise price for stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Awards granted under the Plan vest or become exercisable or payable at the time designated by the Committee, which has generally been three years from the date of grant. Incentive and nonqualified options granted under the Plan expire no later than 10 years from the grant date.

Under the Plan, awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units may be made to selected employees. The awards vest over periods designated by the Committee, which has generally been three years, with vesting conditional upon continued employment. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting periods based on the market value of the stock on the date of the award. Restricted stock units granted to directors under the Plan vest immediately if granted as part of, or in lieu of, the annual retainer; other restricted stock units granted to directors vest at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in the calendar year following the May 1 annual grant date (but are subject to forfeiture on a pro rata basis if the director does not serve the full year except under certain circumstances).

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were restricted stock units representing an aggregate of 254,995 shares and 207,515 shares of common stock, respectively, credited to the directors' accounts.

---

___________________________

(1)We applied an estimated forfeiture rate of 4.0% per stock option grant in the calculation of the expense.

(2)We applied an estimated forfeiture rate of 2.0% of outstanding restricted stock grants in the calculation of the expense.

(3)This expense is classified as *"Selling, general and administrative expenses"* in our consolidated statements of income (loss).

We received $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $5.3 million in cash related to stock option exercises for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The shares used for the exercise of stock options occurring during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 came from treasury shares.

**Stock Options**

The grant-date fair values of the stock options we granted in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, the key assumptions for which are listed in the table below. The dividend yield assumption reflects anticipated dividends on our common stock. The expected volatility assumption is based on the actual historical experience of our common stock. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with terms equal to the expected timing of stock option exercises as of the grant date. Employee stock options generally vest after a three year period and expire ten years from the date of grant.

**Black Scholes valuation assumptions for stock option grants:** 

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2025** | **2024** | | **2023** | |
| Expected dividend yield | 6.07 | % | 4.43 | % | 1.80 | % |
| Expected volatility | 40.17 | % | 34.08 | % | 31.99 | % |
| Expected life (in years) | 6.0 |  | 6.4 |  | 6.5 |  |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.26 | % | 4.26 | % | 4.00 | % |

---

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $9.14, $13.04 and $42.08 per share, respectively.

The following summary shows stock option activity for employees under the Plan for the three years ended December 31, 2025:

| Granted | 1181 |  | 52.50 |  |
| Exercised | (5) |  | 36.85 |  |

| Exercised | (6) |  | 47.24 |  |
| Forfeited | (377) |  | 58.54 |  |
| **December 31, 2025 (1,429 shares exercisable and 1,901 shares expected to vest or be exercised)** | **3404** | **6.4 years** | $**62.81** | $**—** |

---

The number of stock options indicated in the above table as being exercisable as of December 31, 2025, had an intrinsic value of zero, a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 3.3 years, and a weighted-average exercise price of $82.74.

As of December 31, 2025, we had total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options of $9.7 million which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 1.7 years.

**Restricted and Performance Based Equity Awards**

The grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards and stock units under the Plan is based on the market price per share of our common stock on the date of grant. The related compensation cost is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period during which the employees perform related services, which is typically three years except for those eligible for retirement prior to the stated vesting period as well as non-employee directors.

We grant performance based share awards which represent a target number of shares of common stock to be awarded upon settlement based on the achievement of certain performance metrics. The primary performance metric is based on a total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to peer companies over a three year period. The secondary performance metric is based on a three year cumulative operating cash flow metric. Beginning in 2024, the secondary performance metric for new grants is based on the average return on invested capital for each of the three years in the measurement period. The fair value of the equity classified performance-based share awards is determined based on the number of shares of common stock expected to be awarded and a Monte Carlo valuation model.

**Transactions with Noncontrolling Interest**

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we purchased the remaining 40 percent ownership interest in our Pakistan joint venture, for $8.6 million which increased our ownership from 60 percent to 100 percent.

**Dividends and Share Repurchases**

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we paid $291.3 million, $290.6 million and $290.5 million in dividends, respectively. As part of a broader response to the challenges the company is facing and to further prioritize debt reduction, the Board of Directors in October 2025 made the decision to reduce the quarterly dividend to $0.08 per share. On January 15, 2026, we paid dividends totaling $10.0 million to our shareholders of record as of December 31, 2025. This amount is included in *"Accrued and other liabilities"* on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025. Future cash dividends, as always, will depend on a variety of factors, including earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, general economic conditions and other factors considered relevant by us and is subject to final determination by our Board of Directors. As described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, increases to the Company's regular quarterly dividend are limited in connection with the Company's credit agreement as amended in December 2025.

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

In February 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of the Company's common stock. In connection with an amendment to the Company's credit agreement in February 2025, the Company agreed that it will not repurchase shares with the exception of share repurchases under our equity compensation plans until December 31, 2028. Therefore, there were no share repurchases under the publicly announced repurchase program during 2025. At December 31, 2025, approximately $825 million remained unused under our Board-authorized repurchase program. This repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price targets and may be suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be purchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. We also reacquire shares from time to time from employees in connection with the vesting, exercise and forfeiture of awards under our equity compensation plans. Share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax imposed by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. This tax is included as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired.

**Note 16: Leases**

We lease office space, vehicles and other equipment under non-cancellable leases with initial terms typically ranging from 1 to 20 years, with some leases having terms greater than 20 years. Our lease portfolio includes agreements with renewal options, purchase options and clauses for early termination based on the terms specific to the agreement.

At contract inception, we review the facts and circumstances of the arrangement to determine if the contract is a lease. We follow the guidance in ASC 842-10-15 and consider the following: whether the contract has an identified asset; if we have the right to obtain substantially all economic benefits from the asset; and if we have the right to direct the use of the underlying asset. All leased assets are classified as operating or finance under ASC 842.

To determine the present value of future minimum lease payments, we use the implicit rate when readily determinable or our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. When determining our incremental borrowing rate, we consider our centralized treasury function and our current credit profile. We then make adjustments to this rate for securitization, the length of the lease term, and leases denominated in foreign currencies. Minimum lease payments are expensed over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. Some leases may require additional contingent or variable lease payments based on factors specific to the individual agreement. Variable lease payments for which we are typically responsible include payment of vehicle insurance, real estate taxes, and maintenance expenses.

Most leases within our portfolio are classified as operating leases under the new standard. Operating leases are included in "*Other assets including long-term receivables, net*", "*Accrued and other liabilities*", and "*Other long-term liabilitie*s" in our consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets are subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of any lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating leases relate to office spaces, IT equipment, transportation equipment, machinery equipment, furniture and fixtures, and plant and facilities under non-cancellable lease agreements. Leases primarily have fixed rental periods, with many of the real estate leases requiring additional payments for property taxes and occupancy-related costs. Leases for real estate typically have initial terms ranging from 1 to 20 years, with some leases having terms greater than 20 years. Leases for non-real estate (transportation, IT) typically have initial terms ranging from 1 to 10 years. We have elected not to record short-term leases on the balance sheet whose term is 12 months or less and does not include a purchase option or extension that is reasonably certain to be exercised.

We rent or sublease a small number of assets including equipment and office space to third-party companies. These third-party arrangements include a small number of transition service arrangements from recent acquisitions. Rental income from all subleases is not material to our business.

**Note 17: Earnings Per Share**

Earnings per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period on a basic and diluted basis.

Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an antidilutive effect. Diluted EPS excludes the impact of potential common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 there were 3.4 million, 2.1 million and 0.7 million potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS, respectively.

Our non-vested restricted stock awards contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, and thus, are participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing EPS. The two-class method determines EPS by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In calculating the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

Earnings applicable to common stock and common stock shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

**Note 18: Financial Instruments, Risk Management and Fair Value Measurements**

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other current assets, certain receivables classified as other long-term assets, accounts payable, and amounts included in investments and certain accruals. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value. Our other financial instruments include the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Financial Instrument** | **Valuation Method** |
| Foreign exchange forward contracts | Estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based on current market prices for applicable currencies. |
| Commodity forward and option contracts | Estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based on quoted market prices for applicable commodities. |
| Debt | Our estimates and information obtained from independent third parties using market data, such as bid/ask spreads for the last business day of the reporting period. |

---

The estimated fair value of the financial instruments in the above table have been determined using standard pricing models which take into account the present value of expected future cash flows discounted to the balance sheet date. These standard pricing models utilize inputs derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data such as interest rate yield curves and currency and commodity spot and forward rates. In addition, we test a subset of our valuations against valuations received from the transaction's counterparty to validate the accuracy of our standard pricing models. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts that we would realize in a market exchange at settlement date and do not represent potential gains or losses on these agreements. The estimated fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts, commodity forward and option contracts, and interest rate contracts are included in the tables within this Note. The estimated fair value of debt is $3,809.9 million and $3,223.6 million and the carrying amount is $4,074.9 million and $3,365.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Use of Derivative Financial Instruments to Manage Risk**

We mitigate certain financial exposures, including currency risk, commodity purchase exposures and interest rate risk through a program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. We enter into foreign exchange contracts, including forward and purchased option contracts, to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

**Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management**

We conduct business in many foreign countries, exposing earnings, cash flows, and our financial position to foreign currency risks. The majority of these risks arise as a result of foreign currency transactions. Our policy is to minimize exposure to adverse changes in currency exchange rates. This is accomplished through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of foreign currency debt and forward foreign exchange contracts. We also use forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge firm and highly anticipated foreign currency cash flows, with an objective of balancing currency risk to provide adequate protection from significant fluctuations in the currency markets.

The primary currencies for which we have exchange rate exposure are the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, euro, Mexican peso and Argentine peso.

**Commodity Price Risk**

We are exposed to risks in energy costs due to fluctuations in energy prices, including natural gas, electricity, and other commodities. We attempt to mitigate our exposure to increasing energy costs by entering into physical and financial derivative contracts to hedge the cost of future deliveries of our commodities.

**Interest Rate Risk**

We use various strategies to manage our interest rate exposure, including entering into interest rate swap agreements to achieve a targeted mix of fixed and variable-rate debt. In the agreements we exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable-interest amounts calculated on an agreed-upon notional principal amount.

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

**Concentration of Credit Risk**

Our counterparties to derivative contracts are primarily major financial institutions. We limit the dollar amount of contracts entered into with any one financial institution and monitor counterparties' credit ratings. We also enter into master netting agreements with each financial institution, where possible, which helps mitigate the credit risk associated with our financial instruments. While we may be exposed to credit losses due to the nonperformance of counterparties, we consider this risk remote.

**Financial Guarantees and Letter-of-Credit Commitments** 

We enter into various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as part of the normal course of business. These off-balance sheet instruments include financial guarantees and contractual commitments to extend financial guarantees under letters of credit and other assistance to customers. See Notes 1 and 19 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for more information. Decisions to extend financial guarantees to customers, and the amount of collateral required under these guarantees, is based on our evaluation of creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.

**Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities**

*Cash Flow Hedges*

As of December 31, 2025, we had open foreign currency forward contracts in AOCI in a net after-tax loss position of $2.6 million designated as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted sales and purchases. Current open contracts hedge forecasted transactions until December 31, 2026. At December 31, 2025, we had open forward contracts with various expiration dates to buy, sell or exchange foreign currencies with a U.S. dollar equivalent of approximately $793.3 million.

At December 31, 2025 we had no interest rate swap contracts.

In prior periods, we settled on various interest rate swap agreements related to several debt issuances and recorded gains (losses) in other comprehensive income, which is also being amortized over the life of those debt instruments. As of December 31, 2025, there was a remaining net after-tax loss of $25.5 million in AOCI related to these settlements.

As of December 31, 2025, we had no open commodity contracts in AOCI designated as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted purchases. At December 31, 2025, we had no mmBTUs (millions of British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional volume of outstanding natural gas commodity forward contracts.

Approximately $2.6 million of net after-tax losses, representing open foreign currency exchange contracts will be realized in earnings during the twelve months ending December 31, 2026 if spot rates in the future are consistent with forward rates as of December 31, 2025. The actual effect on earnings will be dependent on the actual spot rates when the forecasted transactions occur. We recognize derivative gains and losses in the *"Costs of sales and services"* line on the consolidated statements of income (loss).

*Net Investment Hedges*

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in foreign entities, and, beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on its net investment in Euro ("EUR") denominated subsidiaries.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company entered into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $750 million, of which the Company will exchange semi-annual fixed rate payments on United States dollar notional amount for fixed rate payments in EUR. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $750 million of hedges outstanding to hedge its net investment in EUR denominated subsidiaries and are designated as net investment hedges.

For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

*Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments*

We hold certain forward contracts that have not been designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Contracts used to hedge the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations associated with certain monetary assets and liabilities are not designated as cash flow hedging instruments, and changes in the fair value of these items are recorded in earnings.

**Fair Value Measurements**

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers or sellers in the principle or most advantageous market for the asset or liability that are independent of the reporting entity, knowledgeable and able and willing to transact for the asset or liability.

*Fair Value Hierarchy*

We have categorized our assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the assets and liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

(1)During the year ended December 31, 2025, we evaluated the carrying value of the assets related to the sale of our India commercial business following one-time commercial actions recorded to prepare the business for sale. We recorded an impairment charge of $194.8 million bringing the assets to their estimated fair value less costs to sell resulting in net assets identified as held for sale of $450.0 million, as presented on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. The fair value of the net assets was estimated using the weighted-average of non-binding offers received during the fourth quarter of 2025 as well as forecasts of working capital for the India commercial business developed by management. Refer to Note 1 for further details on the India held for sale business.

(2)As a result of the significant decrease in our stock price during the fourth quarter of 2025, we performed a test of our goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. We recorded a $1,356.2 million write-off of our remaining goodwill balance in connection with the impairment test.

**Note 19: Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies**

We continue to monitor the conditions that are subject to guarantees and indemnifications to identify whether a liability must be recognized in our financial statements.

The following table provides the estimated undiscounted amount of potential future payments for each major group of guarantees at December 31, 2025. These guarantees arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with customers and nonconsolidated affiliates. Non-performance by the guaranteed party triggers the obligation requiring us to make payments to the beneficiary of the guarantee. Based on our experience these types of guarantees have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial position or on our liquidity. Our expectation is that future payment or performance related to the non-performance of others is considered unlikely.

(1)Represents guarantees to financial institutions on behalf of certain customers for their seasonal borrowing. The short-term amount is recorded as "Guarantees of vendor financing" on the consolidated balance sheets.

(2)These guarantees represent the outstanding commitment provided to third-party banks for credit extended to various direct and indirect customers and nonconsolidated affiliates. The liability for the guarantees is recorded at an amount that approximates fair value (i.e. representing the stand-ready obligation) based on our historical collection experience and a current assessment of credit exposure. Historically, the fair value of these guarantees has been and continues to be in the current reporting period, immaterial and the majority of these guarantees have had an expiration date of less than one year.

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

Excluded from the chart above are parent-company guarantees we provide to lending institutions that extend credit to our foreign subsidiaries. Since these guarantees are provided for consolidated subsidiaries, the consolidated financial position is not affected by the issuance of these guarantees. Also excluded from the chart, in connection with our property and asset sales and divestitures, we have agreed to indemnify the buyer for certain liabilities, including environmental contamination and taxes that occurred prior to the date of sale or provided guarantees to third parties relating to certain contracts assumed by the buyer. Our indemnification or guarantee obligations with respect to certain liabilities may be indefinite as to duration and may or may not be subject to a deductible, minimum claim amount or cap. As such, it is not possible for us to predict the likelihood that a claim will be made or to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential loss or range of loss. Therefore, we have not recorded any specific liabilities for these guarantees. If triggered, we may be able to recover some of the indemnity payments from third parties. For certain obligations related to our divestitures for which we can make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential loss or range of loss and is probable, a liability in those instances has been recorded.

**Supplier Financing Obligations**

We work with suppliers to optimize payment terms and conditions on accounts payable to improve working capital and cash flows. We offer to a select group of suppliers a voluntary Supply Chain Finance ("SCF") program with a global financial institution. The suppliers, at their sole discretion, may sell their receivables to the financial institution based on terms negotiated between them. Our obligations to our suppliers are not impacted by our suppliers' decisions to sell under these arrangements. Obligations outstanding under this program are recorded within "Accounts payable, trade and other" in our consolidated balance sheets and the associated payments are included in operating activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Our payment terms with our suppliers are consistent, regardless of whether a supplier participates in the program. We deem these terms to be commercially reasonable and consistent with the range of industry standards within their respective regions. Under the terms of the agreement, we do not pledge assets as security or make any other forms of guarantees.

FMC's outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under the SCF was $109.5 million and $227.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Commitments**

***Purchase Obligations***

Our minimum commitments under our take-or-pay purchase obligations associated with the sourcing of materials and energy total approximately $179.9 million as of December 31, 2025. Since the majority of our minimum obligations under these contracts are over the life of the contract on a year-by-year basis, we are unable to determine the periods in which these obligations could be payable under these contracts. However, we intend to fulfill the obligations associated with these contracts through our purchases associated with the normal course of business.

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

**Contingencies** 

*2023 Securities Litigation.* Beginning on November 9, 2023, several purported FMC shareholders filed putative class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the "E.D.P.A.") and named as defendants FMC and certain of its current and former executives, asserting claims under the federal securities laws. The various actions were consolidated in an action captioned, In re FMC Corporation Securities Litigation, No. 2:23-cv-04398-KNS (E.D.P.A.) (the "2023 Securities Class Action"). The operative complaint alleges that the defendants made certain material misstatements and omissions regarding FMC's business, operations, and prospects, including with respect to, among other things: (1) the alleged diminishment of patent protection for flagship products in certain markets, including India, China, and Brazil; (2) the status of proceedings related to FMC's patent protection efforts; (3) the alleged extent of generic competition with FMC's products; (4) allegedly overstocked inventory channels; and (5) the alleged extent of industry consolidation among retailers and distributors and the impact thereof on FMC's business. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired FMC stock during the putative class period, between February 9, 2022 and October 30, 2023. Defendants in the 2023 Securities Class Action moved to dismiss the complaint on September 17, 2024, and the motion remains pending.

*2025 Securities Litigation.* On February 13, 2025 and February 14, 2025, two other purported FMC shareholders filed putative class action complaints in the E.D.P.A. against FMC and certain of its former and current executives, asserting claims under the federal securities laws. The two actions were consolidated in an action captioned, In re FMC Corporation Securities Litigation, No. 2:23-cv-04398-KNS (E.D.P.A.) (the "2025 Securities Class Action"). On January 12, 2026, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, after defendants had moved to dismiss an earlier filed complaint. The second amended complaint alleges that the defendants made certain material misstatements and omissions regarding FMC's business, operations, and prospects, including with respect to, among other things: (1) channel inventory management initiatives; (2) sales practices; and/or (3) FMC's divestment of its India commercial operations. The operative complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and seek unspecified damages and other relief on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired FMC stock during the period from November 16, 2023 to October 29, 2025.

*Derivative Litigation.* Beginning in January 2025, several purported shareholders have filed derivative actions on behalf of the Company in E.D.P.A. and the District of Delaware, alleging that certain current and former officers and directors breached fiduciary duties based on the same alleged misstatements asserted in the Company's 2023 and 2025 Securities Class Actions. These actions include In re FMC Corporation Derivative Litigation, 2:25-cv-00404-KNS (E.D.P.A.), In re FMC Corporation Stockholder Derivative Litigation, 2:25-cv-02731 (E.D.P.A.), Beard v. FMC Corporation, 2:25-cv-03512-KNS (E.D.P.A.) (together, the "Derivative Actions"). Each of the Derivative Actions has been stayed pending the resolution of the defendants' motion to dismiss in the corresponding related securities class action(s).

Defendants in the 2023 & 2025 Securities Class Actions and the associated Derivative Actions believe the claims against them are without merit and intend to defend themselves vigorously.

*Asbestos claims*. Like hundreds of other industrial companies, we have been named as one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury litigation. Most of these cases allege personal injury or death resulting from exposure to asbestos in premises of FMC or to asbestos-containing components installed in machinery or equipment manufactured or sold by discontinued operations.

We intend to continue managing these asbestos-related cases in accordance with our historical experience. We have established a reserve for this litigation within our discontinued operations and believe that any exposure of a loss in excess of the established reserve cannot be reasonably estimated. Our experience has been that the overall trends in asbestos litigation have changed over time. Over the last several years, we have seen changes in the jurisdictions where claims against FMC are being filed and changes in the mix of products named in the various claims. Because these claim trends have yet to form a predictable pattern, we are presently unable to reasonably estimate our asbestos liability with respect to claims that may be filed in the future.

**FMC CORPORATION**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)**

*Paraquat cases.* Along with Chevron USA and Syngenta AG, FMC has been named in approximately 1,300 cases pending in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Mass Tort Program. In general, plaintiffs allege they were exposed to paraquat, and as a result of this exposure, they developed disease or other health conditions. Chevron and Syngenta (or their predecessors) were registrants of paraquat products in the United States. FMC is not aware of ever having registered any paraquat product in the United States. FMC believes the Company has meritorious defenses and intends to defend itself vigorously. The Court in Philadelphia has set a series of bellwether trial dates throughout 2026. FMC has been dismissed from the first trial case.

*Currenta explosion.* On July 27, 2021, an explosion occurred at a waste incineration plant located in Leverkusen, Germany that is owned and operated by Currenta GmbH & Co. OHG ("Currenta"). The cause of the explosion remains under investigation. On July 29, 2024, FMC was served with a US District Court of Delaware Complaint regarding the Currenta (Germany) site explosion. The Complaint was filed by HDI Global SE, XL Insurance Company SE, Direktion für Deutschland, SwissRe International SE, Starr Europe Insurance limited, Vienna Insurance Group and QBE Re (Europe Ltd.) ("Currenta's Insurers") and named FMC Corporation as a defendant. The Complaint alleged that it was FMC's negligence which led to the explosion. Currenta's Insurers claim that they have paid Currenta over 200 million EUR, which they are seeking to recover. On September 27, 2024, FMC filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. Rather than opposing FMC's Motion, Currenta's Insurers voluntarily dismissed the action on October 15, 2024.

On November 29, 2024, Currenta's Insurers served a Statement of Claim to FMC's Ronland manufacturing facility, filed in Germany, against FMC Agricultural Solutions A/S (a/k/a Cheminova A/S) ("FMC A/S"), seeking to recover 200 million EUR allegedly paid to Currenta. On December 10, 2024, FMC A/S was served with a Statement of Claim, filed in Germany, brought by Currenta. Currenta alleges 146 million EUR in damages arising from the Currenta site explosion. Subsequently, AVG Abfall-Verwertungs-Gesellschaft mbH ("AVG"), a waste management company retained by FMC A/S to assist with disposing the waste at issue, has been named as an additional defendant in both actions. On September 3, 2025, FMC was notified that the Dortmund Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating FMC, and certain named employees, regarding potential criminal charges arising from the explosion. FMC believes the Company has meritorious defenses in both cases and intends to defend itself vigorously.

*Other contingent liabilities*. In addition to the matters disclosed above, we have certain other contingent liabilities arising from litigation, claims, products we have sold, guarantees or warranties we have made, contracts we have entered into, indemnities we have provided, and other commitments or obligations incident to the ordinary course of business.

In Brazil, we are subject to claims from various governmental agencies regarding alleged additional indirect (non-income) taxes or duties as well as product liability matters and labor cases related to our operations. These disputes take many years to resolve as the matters move through administrative or judicial courts. We have provided reserves for such Brazilian matters that we consider probable and for which a reasonable estimate of the obligation can be made in the amount of $1.9 million and $2.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The aggregate estimated reasonably possible loss contingencies related to such Brazilian matters exceed amounts accrued by approximately $156.6 million at December 31, 2025. We defend these cases vigorously through to final judgment at the final level of adjudication. This reasonably possible estimate is based upon information available as of the date of the filing and the actual future losses may be higher given the uncertainties regarding the ultimate decision by administrative or judicial authorities in Brazil.

In India, we are subject to audits or other proceedings by tax authorities regarding certain alleged additional indirect taxes related to our operations. Indian tax authorities have begun auditing or investigating many companies, including our FMC subsidiary in India, on the goods and service tax ("GST") indirect tax law which came into force in 2017. Such proceedings and potential future litigations, in which the tax authorities are challenging the technical tax position taken by the Company, take many years to resolve as the matters are heard and decided upon by tax authorities or courts. We have provided reserves for such historical Indian tax matters that we consider probable and a reasonable estimate of the obligation as of December 31, 2025 was approximately $12.0 million. The timing and amount of the remaining obligations will vary based on final negotiations and the reserve will be reduced as these payments are made.

Regarding other contingencies arising from operations, some of these contingencies are known - for example pending product liability litigation or claims - but are so preliminary that the merits cannot be determined, or if more advanced, are not deemed material based on current knowledge. Some contingencies are unknown - for example, claims with respect to which we have no notice or claims which may arise in the future, resulting from products we have sold, guarantees or warranties we have made, or indemnities we have provided. Therefore, we are unable to develop a reasonable estimate of our potential exposure of loss for these contingencies, either individually or in the aggregate, at this time. Based on information currently available and established reserves, we have no reason to believe that the ultimate resolution of our known contingencies, including the matters described in this Note, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that the outcome of these contingencies will be favorable, and adverse results in certain of these contingencies could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations in any one reporting period, or liquidity.

See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for the Portland Harbor site for legal proceedings associated with our environmental contingencies.

**Note 20: Segment Information**

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K, we operate as a single business segment providing innovative solutions to growers around the world with a robust product portfolio fueled by a market-driven discovery and development pipeline in crop protection and plant health.

We have determined that the Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") for the Company. The determination of a single segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the CEO for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets and both planning and forecasting future periods. The CEO reviews consolidated net income (loss) as a key performance measure of profit (loss) for the Company's single segment and reviews significant expenses, if relevant, on a consolidated basis consistent with the presentation on the consolidated statements of income (loss).

The CEO's review is focused on consolidated results for the Company. However, the CEO may receive supplemental information as part of his review, which includes revenue by geographic region as well as by major product category. For the presentation of disaggregated revenue, refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K.

The following table provides our long-lived assets by major geographical region:

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

FMC Corporation:

*Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FMC Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and schedule II – valuation and qualifying accounts and reserves (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 27, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

*Basis for Opinion*

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

*Critical Audit Matter*

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Evaluation of unrecognized tax benefits*

As discussed in Note 11, the Company has $52.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025. The Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that it believes is more than 50 percent likely to be sustained. A significant amount of the Company's earnings are generated by certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are taxed at lower rates than the United States federal statutory rate.

We identified the evaluation of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits related to the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries as a critical audit matter. Complex auditor judgment was required in evaluating the Company's interpretation of tax law, the transfer pricing structure, and its analysis of the recognition of its tax benefits.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4a2c9822f87541cead30ff696e7faf96_7)</u>

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the unrecognized tax benefits process, including controls related to the transfer pricing structure which affects the determination of earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries. We also involved tax and transfer pricing professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Examining the Company's tax positions, including the methodology for evaluating unrecognized tax benefits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Assessing transfer pricing studies alignment with applicable laws and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Evaluating the Company's interpretation of tax laws and income tax consequences of intercompany transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Considering applicable settlements with taxing authorities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Evaluating the Company's determination of unrecognized tax benefits.

**MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING**

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). FMC's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those written policies and procedures that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of FMC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of FMC are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of FMC; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, monitoring and internal auditing practices and actions taken to correct deficiencies as identified.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. We based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal Control—Integrated Framework (COSO 2013)" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We reviewed the results of our assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Based on this assessment, we determined that, as of December 31, 2025, FMC has effective internal control over financial reporting.

KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, which appears on the following page.

FMC Corporation:

*Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting* 

We have audited FMC Corporation and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and schedule II – valuation and qualifying accounts and reserves (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 27, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

*Basis for Opinion* 

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

*Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting* 

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ARTICLE III

Stockholders

SECTION 1. Meetings of Stockholders.

(a) Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held on such date and at such time as may be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors. At the annual meeting stockholders shall elect Directors and transact such other business as properly may be brought before the meeting.

(b) Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire Board of Directors.

(c) Place of Meetings. Unless otherwise directed by the Board of Directors, all meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the office of the Corporation at 2929 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

------

(d) Notice of Meetings. Unless otherwise provided by statute, written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Each such notice shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 2. Quorum of Stockholders. The holders of a majority of the total number of shares issued and outstanding, and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by law, by the certificate of incorporation, or by these By-Laws.

When a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, a majority of the voting power of the number of shares of the stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of law or the certificate of incorporation or of these By-Laws a larger or different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

SECTION 3. Voting by Stockholders. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder of record shall be entitled at each meeting of stockholders to one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at any meeting may do so in person or by proxy appointed by instrument in writing, subscribed by such stockholder or his duly authorized attorney, and filed with the Secretary at or prior to the time designated in the order of business for delivering such proxies. Any such proxy shall not be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors. No proxy solicited by a stockholder to vote for a director nominee other than a candidate recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors shall be accepted by the Corporation, and any such proxy shall be disregarded and not be eligible to be acted upon or voted, unless the nominating stockholder has complied with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act in all material respects. Any such disregarded and ineligible proxies will be treated as abstentions. Upon request by the Corporation, if any stockholder provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b), such stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than five business days prior to the applicable meeting, (a) reasonable evidence (as determined by the Corporation or one of its representatives in good faith) that such stockholder has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) and 14a-19(b), and (b) the notification contemplated by Rule 14a-19(c). All references herein to Rule 14a-19 or any subsection thereof shall refer to and include any modified or successor rule.

------

SECTION 4. Certain Definitions. For the purposes of Section 5 of this Article III and Section 8 of Article IV, the shares of the Corporation "beneficially owned" by any person shall include (i) all shares of the Corporation beneficially owned (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), determined as if the reference to "sixty days" in Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) was a reference to "three years") by such person, (ii) all shares of the Corporation beneficially owned (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, determined as if the reference to "sixty days" in Rule 13d-3(d) (1)(i) was a reference to "three years") by (A) all affiliates and associates of such person (determined in accordance with Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act), (B) all persons acting in concert with such person with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting or disposing of securities of the Corporation or with respect to the control of the Corporation, and (C) all persons with whom such person or any of its affiliates or associates has an agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting (except pursuant to a revocable proxy given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made generally to all holders of shares of the Corporation) or disposing of securities of the Corporation (each person described in clause (A), (B) or (C) being a "Related Person" of such person) and (iii) all shares of the Corporation that are the subject of or are the reference security for or underlie any derivative securities (as defined under Rule 16a- 1 under the Exchange Act) or other derivatives, short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions, borrowed or loaned shares or similar arrangements relating to the shares of the Corporation entered into by or on behalf of such person and all Related Persons of such person.

SECTION 5. Business Brought Before a Meeting. At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not less than sixty days nor more than ninety days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than seventy days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (d) any material interest of the stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding anything in the By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section. If, after the stockholder has delivered the notice under this Section 5, any information required to be contained in such notice as described above changes as of the record date for such meeting, such notice shall be deemed to be not in compliance with this Section 5 and not effective unless such stockholder, no later than 5 business days following such record date, delivers to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a supplemental notice describing such updated information as of such record date. The presiding officer of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section; and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

------

SECTION 6. Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls. The Board of Directors by resolution shall appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act or is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the presiding officer of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector shall have the duties prescribed by law. The presiding officer of the meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting.

SECTION 7. Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty days nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held and the record date for determining stockholders of record for any other purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

SECTION 8. Adjournments; Postponements. The presiding officer of the meeting or a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by stockholders who are present in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders may adjourn the meeting from time to time, whether or not there is such a quorum, without notice other than by announcement at the meeting if the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days or, after adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

SECTION 1. Election, Number and Term of Office.

(a) Manner of Election. Except as provided in Section 7 of this Article, each Director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the Director at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of the election of Directors at which a quorum is present, provided that if as of a date that is fourteen (14) days in advance of the date the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the Securities and Exchange Commission the number of nominees exceeds the number of Directors to be elected, the Directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote in the election of Directors generally. For purposes of this paragraph, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted "for" a Director must exceed the number of votes "withheld" with respect to that Director.

(b) Number of Directors. The number of Directors of the Corporation which shall constitute the whole Board shall be fixed by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board except that such number shall not be less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15) the exact number to be eleven (11) until otherwise determined by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board.

(c) Term of Office. Each director shall hold office until his respective successor is elected and qualified or until the effectiveness of his or her earlier resignation or removal.

SECTION 2. Nomination of Directors. Subject to the rights of holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, nominations for the election of Directors may be made by the Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of Directors generally. However, any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of Directors generally may nominate one or more persons for election as Directors at a meeting only if written notice of such stockholder's intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of stockholders, ninety days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of stockholders for the election of Directors, the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders. Each such notice shall set forth: (a) the name and address of the stockholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation in the notice; (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the stockholder; (d) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such stockholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (e) the consent of each nominee to serve as a Director of the Corporation if so elected. The presiding officer of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

SECTION 2A. Inclusion of Stockholder Nominations In the Corporation's Proxy Materials.

(a) Proxy Access. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in these By-Laws, in connection with an annual meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall include (i) in its proxy statement and form of proxy, in addition to the persons nominated for election by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, the name of any person nominated for election to the Board of Directors by a record stockholder who is, or is acting on behalf of, an Eligible Stockholder (as defined below) pursuant to this Section 2A (such nominated person, the "Stockholder Nominee") and (ii) in its proxy statement the Required Information (as defined below) relating to any Stockholder Nominee.

(b) Timeliness of Notice. To nominate a Stockholder Nominee, a record stockholder who is, or is acting on behalf of, an Eligible Stockholder must provide a timely notice that expressly elects to have the Eligible Stockholder's Stockholder Nominee included in the Corporation's proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2A (the "Notice of Proxy Access Nomination"). To be timely, a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must be received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the 120th day nor earlier than the 150th day before the one-year anniversary of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials or a notice of availability of proxy materials (whichever is earlier) for the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or if the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary of the date of the previous year's annual meeting, then, for a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination by the stockholder to be timely, it must be so received by the Secretary not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting, or (y) the tenth day following the day on which notice or prior public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is given or made to stockholders (the last day on which a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination may be delivered, the "Final Proxy Access Nomination Date"). In no event shall an adjournment of an annual meeting of stockholders, or postponement of any previously scheduled annual meeting of stockholders for which notice has been given (or with respect to which public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made), commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination under this Section 2A.

(c) Information Included in Proxy Materials. The Eligible Stockholder may provide to the Secretary of the Corporation a written statement for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy statement for the applicable annual meeting of stockholders, not to exceed 500 words, in support of the Eligible Stockholder's Stockholder Nominee (the "Statement"). In order to have a Statement included in the proxy statement an Eligible Stockholder must submit the Statement to the Secretary of the Corporation at the same time that such Eligible Stockholder's Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2A, the "Required Information" that the Corporation will include in its proxy statement is (i) the information concerning the Stockholder Nominee and the Eligible Stockholder that the Corporation determines is required to be disclosed in the Corporation's proxy statement by the regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and (ii) if the Eligible Stockholder so elects, a Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2A, the Corporation may omit from its proxy materials any information or Statement (or portion thereof) that it believes would violate any applicable law or regulation. Nothing in this Section 2A shall limit the Corporation's ability to solicit against and include in its proxy materials its own statements relating to any Stockholder Nominee

------

(d) Number of Stockholder Nominees. The number of Stockholder Nominees appearing in the Corporation's proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders shall not exceed the greater of (i) two or (ii) 20% of the number of directors in office and subject to election by the holders of Common Stock as of the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date, or if such number is not a whole number, the closest whole number below 20% (the number determined pursuant to clause (i) or clause (ii) of this sentence, as applicable, the "Permitted Number"); provided, that in the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board of Directors at any time after the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date and before the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors in connection therewith such that the number of directors subject to election by the holders of Common Stock is reduced, the Permitted Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced. The Permitted Number shall also be reduced by (i) the number of director candidates for which the Corporation shall have received one or more notices that a stockholder intends to nominate director candidates at such applicable annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Section 2 of this Article, (ii) the number of director candidates that will be included in the Corporation's proxy materials with respect to such annual meeting of stockholders as an unopposed (by the Corporation) nominee pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or other understanding with any stockholder or group of stockholders (other than any such agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with an acquisition of shares by such stockholder or group of stockholders from the Corporation), other than any such director candidate referred to in this clause (ii) who was elected, as a nominee of the Board of Directors, at both of the two annual meetings of stockholders immediately preceding the applicable annual meeting of stockholders, provided that the Permitted Number after such reduction with respect to this clause (ii) will in no event be less than one, (iii) the number of incumbent director candidates who previously were Stockholder Nominees at either of the two annual meetings of stockholders immediately preceding the applicable annual meeting and whose re-election at the upcoming annual meeting is being recommended by the Board of Directors and (iv) the number of director candidates whose names were submitted for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2A, but who were thereafter nominated by the Board of Directors. In the event that the number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2A exceeds the Permitted Number, each Eligible Stockholder (or group thereof constituting an Eligible Stockholder) will select one Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy materials until the Permitted Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation each Eligible Stockholder (or group thereof) disclosed as owned in its respective Notice of Proxy Access Nomination submitted to the Corporation. If the Permitted Number is not reached after each Eligible Stockholder (or group thereof) has selected one Stockholder Nominee, this selection process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Permitted Number is reached. After reaching the Permitted Number of Stockholder Nominees, if any Stockholder Nominee who satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 2A (i) thereafter withdraws from the election (or his or her nomination is withdrawn by the applicable Eligible Stockholder) or (ii) is thereafter not submitted for director election for any reason (including the failure to comply with this Section 2A) other than due to a failure by the Corporation to include such Stockholder Nominee in the proxy materials in violation of this Section 2A, no other nominee or nominees shall be substituted for such Stockholder Nominee and included in the Corporation's proxy materials or otherwise submitted for director election pursuant to this Section 2A.

------

(e) Group Provisions to Determine Eligible Stockholder. An "Eligible Stockholder" is one or more persons who own and have owned, or are acting on behalf of one or more beneficial owners who own and have owned (in each case as defined in Section 2A(f)), for at least three years as of the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is received by the Corporation, shares representing at least 3% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of such Notice of Proxy Access Nomination (the "Required Shares"), and who continue to own the Required Shares at all times between the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is received by the Corporation and the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders; provided that the aggregate number of record stockholders and beneficial owners whose stock ownership is counted for the purposes of satisfying the foregoing ownership requirement shall not exceed 20. Two or more collective investment funds that are (i) under common management and investment control, (ii) under common management and funded primarily by a single employer or (iii) a "group of investment companies," as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended from time to time the "Investment Company Act") (such funds together under each of (i), (ii) or (iii) comprising a "Qualifying Fund") shall be treated as one record stockholder or beneficial owner for the purpose of determining the aggregate number of record stockholders and beneficial owners in this paragraph, and treated as one person for the purpose of determining "ownership" as defined in this Section 2A, provided that each fund comprising a Qualifying Fund otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 2A. No record stockholder (other than a Custodian Holder (as defined below)) or beneficial owner may be a member of more than one group constituting an Eligible Stockholder under this Section 2A, and no shares may be attributed to more than one Eligible Stockholder or group constituting an Eligible Stockholder under this Section 2A. For the avoidance of doubt, the Required Shares will qualify as such if and only if the beneficial owner of such shares has itself beneficially owned such shares continuously for the three-year period ending on the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is received by the Corporation and through other applicable dates referred to above (in addition to the other applicable requirements being met).

(f) Definition of Ownership. For purposes of calculating the Required Shares, "ownership" shall be deemed to consist of and include only the outstanding shares as to which a person possesses both (i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (ii) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) shall not include any shares (A) sold by such person or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, including any short sale, (B) borrowed by such person or any of its affiliates for any purposes or purchased by such person or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell, or (C) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, or other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such person or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of common stock, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, or if exercised would have, the purpose or effect of (1) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such person's or its affiliates' full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (2) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree any gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such person or its affiliate. "Ownership" shall include shares held in the name of a nominee (including a Custodian Holder) or other intermediary so long as the person claiming ownership of such shares retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and the right to direct disposition thereof and possesses the full economic interest in the shares; provided that this provision shall not alter the obligations of a record stockholder to provide the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination. Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period (x) in which shares have been loaned if the person claiming ownership may recall such loaned shares on no more than five business days' notice or (y) in which any voting power has been delegated by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement which is revocable at any time without condition. The terms "owned," "owning" and other variations of the word "own" shall have correlative meanings.

------

(g) Contents of Notice of Proxy Access Nomination. The Notice of Proxy Access Nomination shall set forth or be submitted with the following information and materials in writing (including, as applicable, with respect to each Eligible Stockholder, every member of any group that is together such Eligible Stockholder other than a Custodian Holder):

For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to update, supplement and correct such information shall not permit any Eligible Stockholder or other person to change or add any proposed Stockholder Nominee or be deemed to cure any defects or limit the remedies (including without limitation under these By-laws) available to the Corporation relating to any defect (including any inaccuracy or omission).

Any Stockholder Nominee who is included in the Corporation's proxy materials for a particular annual meeting of stockholders, but subsequently is determined not to satisfy the eligibility requirements of this Section 2A or any other provision of these By-Laws, the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law or regulation at any time before the applicable annual meeting of stockholders, will not be eligible or qualified for election at such annual meeting of stockholders and no other nominee may be substituted by the Eligible Stockholder that nominated such Stockholder Nominee.

(j) Exclusion of Stockholder Nominees from Proxy Materials. The Corporation shall not be required to include, pursuant to this Section 2A, a Stockholder Nominee in its proxy materials for any annual meeting of stockholders, or, if the proxy statement already has been filed, to allow the nomination of a Stockholder Nominee, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Board of Directors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) whose election as a member of the Board of Directors would cause the Corporation to be in violation of these By-Laws, the Certificate of Incorporation, the rules or listing standards of the principal U.S. exchange upon which the Common Stock of the Corporation is listed or any applicable law, rule or regulation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) who is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) or has been convicted in such a criminal proceeding within the past 10 years;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) if such Stockholder Nominee or the applicable Eligible Stockholder (or any member of any group of persons that together is such Eligible Stockholder) shall have provided information to the Corporation in connection with such nomination that was untrue in any material respect or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make any statement made, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading, as determined by the Corporation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) if the Eligible Stockholder (or any member of any group of persons that together is such Eligible Stockholder) or applicable Stockholder Nominee otherwise breaches or fails to comply with its representations, undertakings or obligations pursuant to these By-Laws, including, without limitation, this Section 2A; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) if the Eligible Stockholder ceases to be an Eligible Stockholder for any reason, including but not limited to not owning the Required Shares through the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders.

For the purpose of this subsection (j), the occurrence of clauses (i) through (v) and, to the extent related to a breach or failure by the Stockholder Nominee, clauses (vi) and (vii) will result in the exclusion from the proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2A of the specific Stockholder Nominee to whom the ineligibility applies or, if the proxy statement for the applicable annual meeting of stockholders already has been filed, the ineligibility of such Stockholder Nominee to stand for election. The occurrence of clause (viii) and, to the extent related to a breach or failure by an Eligible Stockholder (or any member of any group of persons that together is such Eligible Stockholder), clauses (vi) or (vii) will result in the shares owned by such Eligible Stockholder (or any member of any group of persons that together is such Eligible Stockholder) being excluded from the Required Shares (and, if as a result the persons who together nominated the Stockholder Nominee shall no longer constitute an Eligible Stockholder, the exclusion from the proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2A of all of the applicable stockholder's Stockholder Nominees from the applicable annual meeting of stockholders or, if the proxy statement for the applicable annual meeting has already been filed, the ineligibility of all of such stockholder's Stockholder Nominees to stand for election).

(k) Interpretation; Attendance of Eligible Stockholder at Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors (and any other person or body authorized by the Board of Directors) shall have the power and authority to interpret this Section 2A and to make any determinations necessary or advisable to apply this Section 2A to any persons, facts or circumstances, in each case, acting in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2A, unless otherwise required by law or otherwise determined by the Chairman of the meeting, if none of: (i) the Eligible Stockholder, (ii) a Qualified Representative (as defined below) of the Eligible Stockholder or (iii) if the Eligible Stockholder is comprised of a group, a member of such group, appears at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present such Eligible Stockholder's Stockholder Nominee(s), such nomination or nominations shall be disregarded and conclusively deemed withdrawn, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of the election of the Stockholder Nominee(s) may have been received by the Corporation.

(l) Exclusive Method of Proxy Access. This Section 2A shall be the exclusive method for stockholders to include nominees for director election in the Corporation's proxy materials.

(m) Definitions. As used in this Section 2A, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

SECTION 3. Removal of Directors. Subject to the rights of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect directors under specified circumstances, any director may be removed from office with or without cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

SECTION 4. Conditions for Nomination. No candidate shall be eligible to be nominated for reelection to the Board unless such candidate shall have agreed to tender, promptly following the meeting at which he or she is elected as Director, an irrevocable resignation that will be effective upon (a) the failure to receive the required number of votes for reelection at the next annual meeting of stockholders at which he or she faces reelection, and (b) acceptance of such resignation by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 5. Resignation Policy. If an incumbent Director nominee fails to receive the required number of votes for reelection, within ninety (90) days after certification of the election results, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken and the Board of Directors will act on the Committee's recommendation.

SECTION 6. Other Resignations. With respect to resignations other than in connection with a failure to receive the required number of votes for reelection, any director or member of a committee may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) all other information that, as of the date of the Questionnaire, would be required to be included in a filing with respect to the Corporation on Schedule 13D (including the exhibits thereto) under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision thereto) by the Nominee and all Related Persons of the Nominee, regardless of whether such person has publicly filed or is required to file a Schedule 13D with respect to the Corporation containing such information. If, after the Nominee has delivered the Questionnaire pursuant to this Section 8, any information required to be contained in such Questionnaire as described above changes as of the record date for the relevant meeting, such Nominee, no later than five business days following such record date, must deliver to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a supplemental Questionnaire describing such updated information as of such record date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) if such Nominee is or has been subject to any event specified in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K (or successor rule) of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ARTICLE XI

Indemnification of Officers, Directors and Employees

(a) Each person who was or is a director or officer of the Corporation and who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation, whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment and unless applicable law otherwise requires, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Paragraph (d) of this Article XI, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the whole Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article XI shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, consistent with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment and unless applicable law otherwise requires, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), such advances to be paid by the Corporation within 30 days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article XI or otherwise. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

------

(b) To obtain indemnification under this Article XI, a claimant shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by a claimant for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of this Paragraph (b), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the claimant's entitlement thereto shall be made as follows: (1) if requested by the claimant, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (2) if no request is made by the claimant for a determination by Independent Counsel, (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the claimant, or (iii) if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel at the request of the claimant, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors unless there shall have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of the Proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a "Change of Control" as defined in the Executive Severance Plan of FMC Corporation (as amended as of April 18, 1997), in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the claimant unless the claimant shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors. If it is so determined that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within 10 days after such determination.

(c) Except as provided for in Paragraph (d) of this Article XI, no person shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article XI with respect to any Proceeding, or any claim therein, brought or made by him against the Corporation.

(d) If a claim under Paragraph (a) of this Article XI is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim pursuant to Paragraph (b) of this Article XI has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition whether the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. With respect to any suit brought by a person seeking to enforce a right of indemnification or a right to advancement of expenses, neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth under applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(e) In any suit brought by a person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses, the burden shall be on the Corporation to prove that the person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses or the person from whom the Corporation seeks to recover an advancement of expenses is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such an advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise.

------

(f) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Paragraph (b) of this Article XI that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial Proceeding commenced pursuant to Paragraph (d) of this Article XI.

(g) The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial Proceeding commenced pursuant to Paragraph (d) of this Article XI that the procedures and presumptions of this Article XI are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such Proceeding that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Article XI.

(h) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article XI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification of this Article XI shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to indemnification and to advancement of expenses that any person may have at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

(i) The Corporation's obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

(j) The Corporation may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation against any liability, cost or expense.

(b)Payments will be made in shares of common stock, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation and Organization Committee in accordance with the terms of the applicable Stock Plan.

6. *Rights.* Except to the extent otherwise set forth herein, a Participant will not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the RSUs unless and until such time as shares of common stock have been issued to the Participant in settlement of the vested RSUs.

If a dispute arises regarding the interpretation or enforcement of this Policy and the Participant (or in the event of his or her death, his beneficiary) obtains a final judgment in his or her favor from a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal may be taken, whether because the time to do so has expired or otherwise, or his or her claim is settled by the Company prior to the rendering of such a judgment, all reasonable legal and other professional fees and expenses incurred by the Participant in contesting or disputing any such claim or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided for in this Policy or in otherwise pursuing his or her claim will be promptly paid by the Company with interest thereon at the highest Delaware statutory rate for interest on judgments against private parties from the date of payment thereof by the Participant to the date of reimbursement by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) be employed by, consult with or engage in any Competing Business, as defined below; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) influence or attempt to influence any employee, consultant, supplier, licensor, licensee, contractor, agent, strategic partner, distributor, customer or other person to terminate or modify any written or oral agreement, arrangement or course of dealing with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) solicit for employment or employ or retain (or arrange to have any other person or entity employ or retain) any person who has been employed or retained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries within the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of such solicitation, employment or retention; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that this restriction will not apply to any person whose employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries was terminated by the Company or any such affiliate during such 12-month period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Definitions</u>. For purposes of this Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) "<u>Competing Business</u>" means any company, entity, or Affiliate (defined below) of any of the following: Bayer AG (including without limitation Monsanto Company), BASF SE, China National Chemical Corporation (including without limitation Syngenta AG and/or ADAMA Ltd.), Corteva Inc., UPL Limited, and/or any successor(s)-in-interest to the agrochemical business of any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) "<u>Affiliate</u>" as used above means any company or entity directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such company or entity (including without limitation its respective officers, directors and employees).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Acknowled</u>g<u>ements</u>. Executive acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its subsidiaries, that the duration and scope of the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable given the nature of this Agreement and Executive's position within the Company. Executive acknowledges that the Company and its subsidiaries have a legitimate business interest in and right to protect its Confidential Information, goodwill and employee, customer and other relationships, and that the Company and its subsidiaries would be seriously damaged by the disclosure of Confidential Information and the loss or deterioration of its employee, customer and other relationships.

Executive further acknowledges that, although Executive's compliance with the covenants contained in this Agreement may prevent Executive from earning a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, Executive's experience and capabilities are such that Executive has other opportunities to earn a livelihood and adequate means of support for Executive and Executive's dependents.

Executive acknowledges that any breach, willfully or otherwise, of the Restrictive Covenants will cause continuing and irreparable injury to the Company or its subsidiaries for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Executive shall not, in any action or proceeding to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, assert the claim or defense that such an adequate remedy at law exists. In the event of any such breach or threatened breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, shall be entitled to (without the necessity of showing economic loss or other actual damage) (i) cease payment of the Separation Payments to the extent not previously paid or provided, (ii) the prompt return by Executive of any portion of such compensation and the value of such benefits previously paid or provided and (iii) injunctive or other similar equitable relief in any court, without any requirement that a bond or other security be posted. The preceding sentence shall not be construed as a waiver of the rights that the Company and its subsidiaries may have for damages under this Agreement or otherwise, and all such rights shall be unrestricted, and this Agreement will not in any way limit remedies of law or in equity otherwise available to the Company and its subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Judicial Modification</u>. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to modify such provision and, in its modified form, such provision will then be enforceable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) <u>Accounting</u>. If Executive breaches any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, will have the right and remedy to require Executive to account for and pay over to the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by Executive as the result of such breach. These rights and remedies will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company and its subsidiaries under law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Enforceabilit</u>y. If any court holds the Restrictive Covenants unenforceable by reason of their breadth or scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such Restrictive Covenants shall be modified such that they are enforceable and enforced as so modified.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>Disclosure of Restrictive Covenants</u>. Executive agrees to disclose the existence and terms of the Restrictive Covenants to any potential employer or employer that Executive may work for during the Restricted Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) <u>Extension of Restricted Period</u>. If Executive breaches Section 7 in any respect, the restrictions contained in that section will be extended for a period equal to the period of the breach.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.<u>Bring-Down</u>. Executive hereby agrees to re-execute this Agreement and confirm all terms and conditions hereof during the twenty-one (21) calendar day period following the Termination Date by signing the second signature line hereto (the "<u>Agreement Bring-Down</u>"). Pursuant to the Agreement Bring-Down, all references herein to "the date of this Agreement" or similar terms shall be deemed to refer to the date that the Agreement Bring-Down is executed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.<u>Return of Agreement; Notice and Revocation</u>. Executive shall return this signed Agreement and the Agreement Bring-Down to, and any notice including notice of revocation permitted under this Agreement shall be made in writing to, the Company's Corporate Headquarters at 2929 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, attention: Chief Human Resources Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.<u>No Admission of Liability</u>. Execution of this Agreement shall not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing of any kind by either party, and both the Company and Executive specifically deny any such liability.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.<u>Miscellaneous</u>. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Delaware will control the interpretation and construction of this agreement, even if under such jurisdiction's choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any part or portion of it is found to be unenforceable, the other paragraphs shall remain fully valid and enforceable.

**GLOBAL PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT**

**AWARD AGREEMENT** 

**UNDER THE FMC CORPORATION** 

**2026 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN** 

**THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT,** including any additional terms or conditions for the Participant's country set forth in any appendix attached hereto (the "<u>Appendix</u>" and collectively with this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, this "<u>Agreement</u>") is made by and between FMC Corporation (the "<u>Company</u>") and **[**NAME**]** (the "<u>Participant</u>").

**WHEREAS**, the Board adopted the FMC Corporation 2026 Incentive Stock Plan (the "<u>Plan</u>") on January 30, 2026, subject to approval by the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting (the "<u>Stockholder Approval Requirement</u>");

**WHEREAS**, if the Stockholder Approval Requirement is not satisfied at the Annual Meeting, then the Plan and this Agreement shall be cancelled and terminated and shall be void *ab <u>initio</u>*<u>;</u> 

**WHEREAS**, the Plan authorizes the grant of Restricted Stock Units; and

**WHEREAS**, subject to the satisfaction of the Stockholder Approval Requirement, the Company hereby grants this Award of Restricted Stock Units to the Participant, effective [MONTH] [DATE], [YEAR 1] (the "<u>Grant Date</u>"), on the terms and conditions set forth below.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **<u>Grant of Restricted Stock Units.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Pursuant to the Plan and as of the Grant Date, the Company hereby awards to the Participant a target number of [__________] Restricted Stock Units (the "<u>Target Units</u>") up to a maximum number of [__________] Restricted Stock Units on the terms and conditions set forth herein (collectively, the "<u>Units</u>"). The terms of the Plan, as it may be amended and continued, are incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this Agreement and will control the rights and obligations of the Company and the Participant under this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the same meanings as in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Unit, once vested, represents an unfunded, unsecured right of the Participant to receive one Share at a specified time. The Units will become vested, and Shares will be issued in respect of such Units, as set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Determination of Units Vested</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the Participant's continued employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates through December 31, [YEAR 3], (the "<u>Specified Date</u>"), between 0%-200% of the Target Units shall become vested, to the extent earned, in accordance with the table set forth below based on the Company's "Total Shareholder Return" (as defined below) relative to the Total Shareholder Return of the "Peer Companies" (as defined below) (the "Relative Total Shareholder Return") from January 1, [YEAR 1] until December 31, [YEAR 3] (the "<u>Measurement Period</u>") in accordance with the Relative Total Shareholder Return Table set forth below:

— 1 —

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Level** | **Percentile Ranking of Company's Total Shareholder Return Versus<br>Peer Group Total Shareholder Return** | **Percentage of the Target Units Earned** |
| Below Threshold | &nbsp;&nbsp;Below the 35<sup>th</sup> Percentile | 0% |
| Threshold | &nbsp;&nbsp;35<sup>th</sup> Percentile | 50% |
| Target | &nbsp;&nbsp;50<sup>th</sup> Percentile | 100% |
| Maximum | &nbsp;&nbsp;80<sup>th</sup> Percentile or higher | 200% |

---

If the Company's Relative Total Shareholder Return over the Measurement Period is between the "Threshold" and "Target" or "Target" and "Maximum" levels set forth above, then the percentage of the Units earned will be ratably interpolated. If the Relative Total Shareholder Return at the end of the Measurement Period is below the 35<sup>th</sup> percentile, then no Units shall be earned with respect to the Measurement Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a Change in Control occurs prior to the Specified Date, then (i) prior to the Change in Control, the Committee shall determine the number of earned Units based on the greater of (A) the target (i.e., 100%) performance level and (B) the actual level of achievement through the Change in Control (or other reasonably proximate date selected by the Committee based on the availability of relevant data) and (ii) from and after the Change in Control, the Relative Total Shareholder Return related adjustments described in this Agreement shall no longer apply to the Units. In the event of the Participant's Termination of Service within two years following a Change in Control without Cause or due to a resignation by the Participant for Good Reason, then all earned Units determined in accordance with this Section 2(b) shall become immediately vested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the event of the Participant's Termination of Service by reason of (i) Disability, (ii) death, (iii) Non-Approved Retirement (as defined below), or (iv) by the Company without Cause (other than within two years following a Change in Control), then the extent to which the Units are earned shall be determined as if the Participant had continued in active service to the Company through the Specified Date, but shall be prorated based on the number of days the Participant was employed by the Company during the Measurement Period, based on the actual Relative Total Shareholder Return for the full Measurement Period (except as otherwise provided by Section 2(b)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of the Participant's Termination of Service by reason of Approved Retirement (as defined below), except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b), the extent to which the Units are earned shall be determined as if the Participant had continued in active service to the Company through the Specified Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Solely for purposes of this Agreement, (x) employment with the Company will be deemed to include employment with an Affiliate, but only during the period of such affiliation, and (y) the Participant will be deemed to be in "continued employment" or "continuous employment" during temporary absences from active employment due to vacation or sick leave taken in accordance with Company policies or other approved leaves of absence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The application of Sections 2(c)(iii), 2(c)(iv) and 2(d) is in each case conditioned on (i) the Participant's execution and delivery to the Company of a general release of claims against the Company and its Affiliates, or such other separation-related agreement, in each case, in a form prescribed by the Company, and (ii) such release or agreement becoming irrevocable within 60 days following the Participant's Termination of Service or such shorter period specified by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, if this release requirement is not timely satisfied, all the Units will be forfeited as of the effective date of the Participant's Termination of Service and the Participant will have no further rights with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b), upon the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company or any of its Affiliates, all Units that do not specifically remain outstanding pursuant to Section 2(c) or 2(d) will then be forfeited immediately and automatically and the Participant will have no further rights with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if the Participant experiences a Termination of Service by the Company for Cause (or if the Participant resigns at a time that a Cause basis for termination exists), then the Participant will forfeit immediately and automatically all Units (whether or not otherwise earned) and will have no further rights hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of the Units, the Participant's "Termination of Service" will be considered to occur as of the date the Participant is no longer actively providing service to the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction in which the Participant is providing service or the terms of the Participant's service agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Participant's right to vest in the Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Participant's period of service will not include any contractual notice period or any period of "garden leave" or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction in which the Participant is providing service or the terms of the Participant's service agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing service for purposes of the Units (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing service while on a leave of absence).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)"<u>Approved Retirement</u>" means the cessation of the Participant's employment after June 30, [YEAR 1] and after the Participant has (i) both attained age 62 and completed 10 years of service with the Company or its Affiliates or (ii) attained age 65, provided that the Participant has commenced succession planning with the Company's chief human resources executive (in accordance with procedures established by the Company) at least six months before the effective date of the Participant's cessation of employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)"<u>Non-Approved Retirement</u>" means the cessation of the Participant's employment after the Participant has (i) both attained age 62 and completed 10 years of service with the Company or its Affiliates or (ii) attained age 65, other than an Approved Retirement.

Any entity which is not publicly traded as of the last day of the Measurement Period due to acquisition or through a going private transaction shall be removed from the Peer Companies from the beginning of the Measurement Period without replacement. Any entity which declares bankruptcy, is liquidated or is otherwise delisted during the Measurement Period shall remain in the Peer Companies and such entity's performance shall be considered to have been at the bottom of the Peer Companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) "<u>Total Shareholder Return</u>" means with respect to any publicly traded company, including the Company, the positive or negative change in the market price of one share of such entity's common stock over the Measurement Period, plus the aggregate amount of dividends paid with respect to a share of such company's common stock over the Measurement Period, with such sum being divided by the market price of one share of such entity's common stock at the commencement of the Measurement Period (in each case appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends, stock splits or other corporate transaction affecting shares of such company's common stock).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **<u>Timing of Issuance</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to Section 4(b), Shares will be issued in respect of all earned Units (including any additional Units credited under Section 8(b)) during the first two and a half months of the calendar year beginning after the Specified Date (or upon the Company's termination of this arrangement in a manner consistent with the requirements of US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to the extent permitted by US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi) and at the discretion of the Company, the issuance of Shares in respect of a number of earned Units may be accelerated to the date that employment taxes become payable with respect to this Award. Such number of Shares will be equal to the reasonably estimated amount of income and employment taxes then required to be withheld and remitted, divided by the then current fair market value of the Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to the extent the requirements of US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii) are met, the issuance of Shares hereunder will be delayed to the extent the Company reasonably anticipates that the issuance will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) to the extent compliance with the requirements of US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(2) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, Shares that are otherwise issuable upon the Participant's "separation from service" (as that term is defined in US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)) will be deferred (without interest) and issued to the Participant immediately following that six month period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) to the extent permitted by US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(c)(2), the issuance of Shares in respect of a number of earned Units shall occur during the thirty (30) day period following the Participant's Termination of Service in accordance with Section 2(b); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fractional Shares will be rounded up to the next whole Share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Non-Transferability</u>**. The Units are subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth in Section 19 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Rights Upon Death.</u>** In the event of the death of the Participant, any distributions hereunder will be made to the Participant's estate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by the Committee in its discretion, the Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary (which may be a person or trust) to receive distributions hereunder in the event of the Participant's death. If the Committee permits beneficiary designations, but the Participant does not designate a beneficiary, the designated beneficiary does not survive the Participant or the beneficiary designation is invalid or defective, then distributions hereunder will be made to the Participant's estate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Company Policies</u>.** The Participant acknowledges that this Award is subject to the clawback provisions set forth in Section 21 of the Plan. In addition, in consideration for the grant of this Award, the Participant agrees to be subject to any additional policies of the Company or its Affiliates covering the Participant regarding clawbacks (including, without limitation, the Company's Policy Relating to Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, effective as of October 2, 2023), securities trading, and hedging or pledging of securities that may be in effect from time to time, whether adopted before or after the Grant Date, or as may otherwise be required by applicable law, regulation or exchange listing standard. The Participant understands that the Participant is hereby bound by each such policy in its entirety, and that such policies are not limited in their application to this Award, or equity or cash received in connection with this Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Stockholder Rights</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>In General</u>. The Participant will not have any stockholder rights or privileges, other than dividend equivalent rights as set forth below, with respect to the Shares subject to Units until such Shares are actually issued and registered in the Participant's name in the Company's books and records.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Dividend Equivalent Credits</u>. The Participant shall be credited with an additional number of earned Units as of the Specified Date determined as the quotient of "y" divided by "z" where "y" equals the aggregate amount of any cash dividends paid with respect to Shares during the Measurement Period with respect to a number of Shares equal to the number of Units earned under Section 2, and "z" equals the closing price per Share on the Specified Date, rounded to the nearest whole Share. Any Units credited to the Participant in accordance with Section 8(b) of this Agreement shall be issued to the Participant in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **<u>No Limitation on Rights of the Company</u>.** The granting of Units will not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, reincorporate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>No Right to Continued Employment</u>.** Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan will constitute the formation of or amendment to any contract of service or confer on the Participant any right to continue in service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant) to terminate the Participant's employment or service at any time for any reason, with or without Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Tax Matters</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In accordance with Section 20 of the Plan, the obligations of the Company hereunder are conditioned on the Participant satisfying required tax withholding obligations in a method authorized by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan, or the acquisition or sale of the Shares subject to the Units. The Participant has had the opportunity to review with the Participant's own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Affiliate or Subsidiary to which the Participant provides service (the "<u>Service Recipient</u>"), the ultimate liability for any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to a Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant ("<u>Tax-Related Items</u>") is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, and as a condition to the Company's obligation to issue Shares upon vesting of the Units hereunder, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company such amount as may be required to satisfy all applicable Tax-Related Items arising in connection with the Units (or otherwise make arrangements acceptable to the Company for the satisfaction any applicable withholding obligations with respect to all Tax-Related Items). In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Service Recipient, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with respect to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)requiring the Participant to make a payment in a form acceptable to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)withholding from the Participant's wages or other cash compensation payable to the Participant by the Company and/or the Service Recipient;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Units (i.e., net settlement), provided, however, that if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then unless the Committee (as constituted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) determines otherwise, this method (iv) shall be the default withholding method for such Participant; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)any other method of withholding determined by the Company and, to the extent required by applicable law or the Plan, approved by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in the Participant's jurisdiction(s). If the maximum rate is used, any over-withheld amount may be refunded to the Participant in cash by the Company or the Service Recipient (with no entitlement to the Share equivalent) or if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company or the Service Recipient. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of Shares as described herein, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vesting portion of the Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. If the required amount necessary to satisfy all Tax-Related Items, as determined by the Company, is not timely paid or satisfied, the Participant's right to receive Shares will be permanently forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.**<u>Nature of Grant</u>**. In accepting the Unit, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the grant of the Unit is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of stock options, or benefits in lieu of stock options, even if stock options have been granted in the past;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)all decisions with respect to future unit or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)the Unit, the underlying Shares and the income and value of same are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)the Unit, the underlying Shares and the income and value of same are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end-of-service payments, any bonus, holiday pay, long-service award, pension, or retirement or welfare benefit, or any similar payment and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or Service Recipient;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)if the Participant vests the Units and acquires Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Units resulting from the Participant's Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is rendering services or the terms of the Participant's employment or service agreement, if any), or from the application of any clawback or recoupment policy adopted by the Company or imposed by applicable law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the Unit and the Shares subject to the Unit, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate or Subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)neither the Company, the Service Recipient nor any other Affiliate or Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant's local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Units or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the vesting of the Units or the subsequent sale of the Shares acquired upon the issuance of the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.**<u>Section 409A</u>.** This Award is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder and the provisions of this Agreement should be interpreted accordingly. If any provision of this Agreement or any term or condition of the Units would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of noncompliance with Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.**<u>Notices.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement must be given in writing and addressed, if to the Company, to its principal executive office to the attention of its General Counsel, and, if to the Participant, to the address on file with the Company, or to such other address as the Participant may designate in writing in accordance with this paragraph. Except as otherwise provided below in Section 14(b), any notice will be deemed to be duly given: if delivered personally or via recognized overnight delivery service, on the date and at the time so delivered; if sent via telecopier or email, on the date and at the time telecopied or emailed with confirmation of delivery; or, if mailed, five (5) days after the date of mailing by registered or certified mail.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Participant hereby authorizes the Company to deliver electronically any prospectuses or other documentation related to this Award, the Plan and any other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement in effect from time to time (including, without limitation, periodic reports, proxy statements or other documents that are required to be delivered to participants in such plans or arrangements pursuant to federal or state laws, rules or regulations). For this purpose, electronic delivery will include, without limitation, delivery by means of e-mail or e-mail notification that such documentation is available on the Company's Intranet site or the website of a vendor designated by the Company. Upon written request, the Company will provide to the Participant a paper copy of any document also delivered to the Participant electronically. The authorization described in this paragraph may be revoked by the Participant at any time by written notice to the Company. The Participant agrees that the foregoing online or electronic participation in the Plan shall have the same force and effect as documentation executed in hardcopy written form. The Participant hereby further agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.**<u>Non-Solicitation of Employees.</u>** The Participant agrees that while employed by the Company and its Affiliates and for twelve (12) months after the Participant's Termination of Service for any reason, the Participant will not directly or indirectly solicit, recruit or attempt to solicit or recruit any other employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates with whom the Participant had contact with during his/her employment. For the purposes of this Section 15, "contact" means any interaction whatsoever between the Participant and the other employee. The Company's waiver of a breach of any provision of this Section 15 by the Participant does not operate as and should not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant, nor does the Company's failure to take action against any other employee for similar breaches operate as a waiver by the Company of a breach. The Participant understands, acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Participant breaches and/or threatens to breach of any of the covenants and provisions contained in this Section 15, the Company shall suffer irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law. The Company will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief from the courts without bond, enjoining the Participant from engaging in activities in breach of this Section 15. Following the Participant's Termination of Service for any reason, the Participant agrees to provide a copy of this Section 15, and consents to the Company's providing a copy of this Section 15, to any subsequent employer or potential employer of the Participant, or other interested parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.**<u>Government Regulation</u>.** The Company's obligation to deliver Shares in respect of vested Units will be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

The Company and the Service Recipient transfer the Participant's Data to Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC or any of its successor or other third party service provider based in the United States of America and engaged by the Company to assist with the implementation, administration and management of Units granted under the Plan (collectively, the "Stock Plan Administrator").

The Participant will be asked to agree to separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition of the Participant's ability to participate in the Plan.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;29.**<u>Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws</u>.** The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant's country, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect their ability to acquire or sell the Shares or rights to the Shares under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have "inside information" regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the Participant's country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;30.**<u>Exchange Control, Foreign Asset/Account and/or Tax Reporting</u>.** The Participant acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset/account and/or tax reporting requirements which may affect the Participant's ability to acquire or hold Shares or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on Shares or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant's country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets, or related transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant's country. The Participant may also be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other cash received as a result of the Participant's participation in the Plan to the Participant's country within a certain period of time after receipt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;33. **<u>Waiver</u>**. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Participant or any other participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;34.**<u>Appendix</u>**. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the grant of the Units shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions for the Participant's country set forth in the Appendix. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the additional terms and conditions for such country will apply, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;35.**Imposition of Other Requirements.** The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant's participation in the Plan, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

**Exhibit 10.19b**

(Return on Invested Capital Metric)

**GLOBAL PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT** 

**AWARD AGREEMENT** 

**UNDER THE FMC CORPORATION**

**2026 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN** 

**THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT**, including any additional terms or conditions for the Participant's country set forth in any appendix attached hereto (the "<u>Appendix</u>" and collectively with this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, this "<u>Agreement</u>") is made by and between FMC Corporation (the "<u>Company</u>") and [NAME] (the "<u>Participant</u>").

**WHEREAS**, the Board adopted the FMC Corporation 2026 Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan") on January 30, 2026, subject to approval by the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting (the "<u>Stockholder Approval Requirement</u>");

**WHEREAS**, if the Stockholder Approval Requirement is not satisfied at the Annual Meeting, then the Plan and this Agreement shall be cancelled and terminated and shall be *void ab initio*;

**WHEREAS**, the Plan authorizes the grant of Restricted Stock Units; and

**WHEREAS**, subject to the satisfaction of the Stockholder Approval Requirement, the Company hereby grants this Award of Restricted Stock Units to the Participant, effective [MONTH] [DATE], [YEAR] (the "<u>Grant Date</u>"), on the terms and conditions set forth below.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **<u>Grant of Restricted Stock Units</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Pursuant to the Plan and as of the Grant Date, the Company hereby awards to the Participant a target number of [______] Restricted Stock Units (the "<u>Target Units</u>"), up to a maximum number of [______] Restricted Stock Units, on the terms and conditions set forth herein (collectively, the "<u>Units</u>"). The terms of the Plan, as it may be amended and continued, are incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this Agreement and will control the rights and obligations of the Company and the Participant under this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the same meanings as in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Unit, once vested represents an unfunded, unsecured right of the Participant to receive one Share at a specified time. The Units will become vested, and Shares will be issued in respect of such Units, as set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **<u>Determination of Units Vested</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Subject to the Participant's continued employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates through December 31, [YEAR 3] (the "<u>Specified Date</u>"), between 0%-200% of the Target Units shall become vested to the extent earned, in accordance with the table set forth below based on the Company's return on invested capital (as defined in <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto, the "<u>Return on Invested Capital</u>") during the three year period beginning on January 1, [YEAR 1] and ending on December 31, [YEAR 3] (the "<u>Measurement Period</u>"):

------

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Level** | **Return on Invested Capital** | **Percentage of Target Units Earned** |
| Below Threshold | [ ] | 0% |
| Threshold | [ ] | [ ]% |
| Target | [ ] | [ ]% |
| Maximum | [ ] | [ ]% |

---

If the Company's Return on Invested Capital is between the "Threshold" and "Target" or "Target" and "Maximum" levels set forth above, then the percentage of the Units earned will be ratably interpolated. Any Units that are not earned as of the end of the Measurement Period will be forfeited immediately and automatically and the Participant will have no further rights with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If a Change in Control occurs prior to the Specified Date, then (i) prior to the Change in Control, the Committee shall determine the number of earned Units with respect to the Measurement Period based on the greater of (A) the target (i.e., 100%) performance level and (B) the actual level of achievement through the Change in Control (or other reasonably proximate date selected by the Committee based on the availability of relevant data), and (ii) from and after the Change in Control, the Return on Invested Capital related adjustments described in this Agreement shall no longer apply to the Units. In the event of the Participant's Termination of Service within two years following a Change in Control without Cause or due to a resignation by the Participant for Good Reason, then all earned Units determined in accordance with this Section 2(b) shall become immediately vested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)In the event of the Participant's Termination of Service by reason of (i) Disability, (ii) death, (iii) Non-Approved Retirement (as defined below), or (iv) by the Company without Cause (other than within two years following a Change in Control), then the extent to which the Units are earned shall be determined as if the Participant had continued in active service to the Company through the Specified Date, but shall be prorated based on the number of days the Participant was employed by the Company during the Measurement Period, based on the actual Return on Invested Capital for the full Measurement Period (except as otherwise provided by Section 2(b)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)In the event of the Participant's Termination of Service by reason of Approved Retirement (as defined below), except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b), the extent to which the Units are earned shall be determined as if the Participant had continued in active service to the Company through the Specified Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Solely for purposes of this Agreement, (x) employment with the Company will be deemed to include employment with an Affiliate, but only during the period of such affiliation, and (y) the Participant will be deemed to be in "continued employment" or "continuous employment" during temporary absences from active employment due to vacation or sick leave taken in accordance with Company policies or other approved leaves of absence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)The application of Sections 2(c)(iii), 2(c)(iv) and 2(d) is in each case conditioned on (i) the Participant's execution and delivery to the Company of a general release of claims against the Company and its Affiliates, or such other separation-related agreement, in each case in a form prescribed by the Company, and (ii) such release or agreement becoming irrevocable within 60 days following the Participant's Termination of Service or such shorter period specified by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, if this release requirement is not timely satisfied, all the Units will be forfeited as of the effective date of the Participant's Termination of Service and the Participant will have no further rights with respect thereto.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Except as otherwise provided in Section 2(b), upon the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company or any of its Affiliates, all Units that do not specifically remain outstanding pursuant to Section 2(c) or 2(d) will then be forfeited immediately and automatically and the Participant will have no further rights with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if the Participant experiences a Termination of Service by the Company for Cause (or if the Participant resigns at a time that a Cause basis for termination exists), then the Participant will forfeit immediately and automatically all Units (whether or not otherwise earned) and will have no further rights hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)For purposes of the Units, the Participant's "Termination of Service" will be considered to occur as of the date the Participant is no longer actively providing service to the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction in which the Participant is providing service or the terms of the Participant's service agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Participant's right to vest in the Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Participant's period of service will not include any contractual notice period or any period of "garden leave" or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction in which the Participant is providing service or the terms of the Participant's service agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing service for purposes of the Units (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing service while on a leave of absence).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **<u>Definitions</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)"<u>Approved Retirement</u>" means the cessation of the Participant's employment after June 30, [YEAR 1] and after the Participant has (i) both attained age 62 and completed 10 years of service with the Company or its Affiliates or (ii) attained age 65, provided that the Participant has commenced succession planning with the Company's chief human resources executive (in accordance with procedures established by the Company) at least six months before the effective date of the Participant's cessation of employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)"<u>Non-Approved Retirement</u>" means the cessation of the Participant's employment after the Participant has (i) both attained age 62 and completed 10 years of service with the Company or its Affiliates or (ii) attained age 65, other than an Approved Retirement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)to the extent permitted by US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi) and at the discretion of the Company, the issuance of Shares in respect of a number of earned Units may be accelerated to the date that employment taxes become payable with respect to this Award. Such number of Shares will be equal to the reasonably estimated amount of income and employment taxes then required to be withheld and remitted, divided by the then current fair market value of the Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)to the extent the requirements of US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii) are met, the issuance of Shares hereunder will be delayed to the extent the Company reasonably anticipates that the issuance will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)to the extent compliance with the requirements of US Treas.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by the Committee in its discretion, the Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary (which may be a person or trust) to receive distributions hereunder in the event of the Participant's death. If the Committee permits beneficiary designations, but the Participant does not designate a beneficiary, the designated beneficiary does not survive the Participant or the beneficiary designation is invalid or defective, then distributions hereunder will be made to the Participant's estate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Dividend Equivalent Credits</u>. The Participant shall be credited with an additional number of earned Units as of the Specified Date determined as the quotient of "y" divided by "z" where "y" equals the aggregate amount of any cash dividends paid with respect to Shares during the Measurement Period with respect to a number of Shares equal to the number of Units earned under Section 2, and "z" equals the closing price per Share on the Specified Date, rounded to the nearest whole Share. Any Units credited to the Participant in accordance with Section 8(b) of this Agreement shall be issued to the Participant in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **<u>No Limitation on Rights of the Company</u>.** The granting of Units will not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, reincorporate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **<u>No Right to Continued Employment</u>.** Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan will constitute the formation of or amendment to any contract of service or confer on the Participant any right to continue in service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant) to terminate the Participant's employment or service at any time for any reason, with or without Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **<u>Tax Matters</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In accordance with Section 20 of the Plan, the obligations of the Company hereunder are conditioned on the Participant satisfying required tax withholding obligations in a method authorized by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan, or the acquisition or sale of the Shares subject to the Units. The Participant has had the opportunity to review with the Participant's own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Affiliate or Subsidiary to which the Participant provides service (the "<u>Service Recipient</u>"), the ultimate liability for any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to a Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant ("<u>Tax-Related Items</u>") is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, and as a condition to the Company's obligation to issue Shares upon vesting of the Units hereunder, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company such amount as may be required to satisfy all applicable Tax-Related Items arising in connection with the Units (or otherwise make arrangements acceptable to the Company for the satisfaction any applicable withholding obligations with respect to all Tax-Related Items). In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Service Recipient, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with respect to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(i)requiring the Participant to make a payment in a form acceptable to the Company;

(ii)withholding from the Participant's wages or other cash compensation payable to the Participant by the Company and/or the Service Recipient;

(iii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent);

(iv)withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Units (i.e., net settlement), provided, however, that if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then unless the Committee (as constituted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) determines otherwise, this method (iv) shall be the default withholding method for such Participant; or

(v)any other method of withholding determined by the Company and, to the extent required by applicable law or the Plan, approved by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in the Participant's jurisdiction(s). If the maximum rate is used, any over-withheld amount may be refunded to the Participant in cash by the Company or the Service Recipient (with no entitlement to the Share equivalent) or if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company or the Service Recipient. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of Shares as described herein, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vesting portion of the Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. If the required amount necessary to satisfy all Tax-Related Items, as determined by the Company, is not timely paid or satisfied, the Participant's right to receive Shares will be permanently forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **<u>Nature of Grant</u>.** In accepting the Unit, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the grant of the Unit is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of stock options, or benefits in lieu of stock options, even if stock options have been granted in the past;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)all decisions with respect to future unit or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)the Unit, the underlying Shares and the income and value of same are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)the Unit, the underlying Shares and the income and value of same are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end-of-service payments, any bonus, holiday pay, long-service award, pension, or retirement or welfare benefit, or any similar payment and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or Service Recipient;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)if the Participant vests the Units and acquires Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Units resulting from the Participant's Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is rendering services or the terms of the Participant's employment or service agreement, if any), or from the application of any clawback or recoupment policy adopted by the Company or imposed by applicable law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the Unit and the Shares subject to the Unit, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of an Affiliate or Subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)neither the Company, the Service Recipient nor any other Affiliate or Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant's local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Units or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the vesting of the Units or the subsequent sale of the Shares acquired upon the issuance of the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **<u>Section 409A</u>.** This Award is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder and the provisions of this Agreement should be interpreted accordingly. If any provision of this Agreement or any term or condition of the Units would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of noncompliance with Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **<u>Notices</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement must be given in writing and addressed, if to the Company, to its principal executive office to the attention of its General Counsel, and, if to the Participant, to the address on file with the Company, or to such other address as the Participant may designate in writing in accordance with this paragraph. Except as otherwise provided below in Section 14(b), any notice will be deemed to be duly given: if delivered personally or via recognized overnight delivery service, on the date and at the time so delivered; if sent via telecopier or email, on the date and at the time telecopied or emailed with confirmation of delivery; or, if mailed, five (5) days after the date of mailing by registered or certified mail.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Participant hereby authorizes the Company to deliver electronically any prospectuses or other documentation related to this Award, the Plan and any other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement in effect from time to time (including, without limitation, periodic reports, proxy statements or other documents that are required to be delivered to participants in such plans or arrangements pursuant to federal or state laws, rules or regulations). For this purpose, electronic delivery will include, without limitation, delivery by means of e-mail or e-mail notification that such documentation is available on the Company's Intranet site or the website of a vendor designated by the Company. Upon written request, the Company will provide to the Participant a paper copy of any document also delivered to the Participant electronically. The authorization described in this paragraph may be revoked by the Participant at any time by written notice to the Company. The Participant agrees that the foregoing online or electronic participation in the Plan shall have the same force and effect as documentation executed in hardcopy written form. The Participant hereby further agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **<u>Non-Solicitation of Employees</u>.** The Participant agrees that while employed by the Company and its Affiliates and for twelve (12) months after the Participant's Termination of Service for any reason, the Participant will not directly or indirectly solicit, recruit or attempt to solicit or recruit any other employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates with whom the Participant had contact with during his/her employment. For the purposes of this Section 15, "contact" means any interaction whatsoever between the Participant and the other employee. The Company's waiver of a breach of any provision of this Section 15 by the Participant does not operate as and should not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant, nor does the Company's failure to take action against any other employee for similar breaches operate as a waiver by the Company of a breach. The Participant understands, acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Participant breaches and/or threatens to breach of any of the covenants and provisions contained in this Section 15, the Company shall suffer irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law. The Company will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief from the courts without bond, enjoining the Participant from engaging in activities in breach of this Section 15. Following the Participant's Termination of Service for any reason, the Participant agrees to provide a copy of this Section 15, and consents to the Company's providing a copy of this Section 15, to any subsequent employer or potential employer of the Participant, or other interested parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **<u>Government Regulation</u>.** The Company's obligation to deliver Shares in respect of vested Units will be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.  **<u>Administration</u>.** By entering into this Agreement, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that (a) the Company has provided or made available to the Participant a copy of the Plan, (b) the Participant has read the Plan, (c) all Units are subject to the Plan and (d) pursuant to the Plan, the

------

Committee is authorized to interpret the Plan and awards issued thereunder, and to adopt rules and regulations not inconsistent with the Plan as it deems appropriate. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee with respect to questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **<u>References</u>** References herein to rights and obligations of the Participant shall apply, where appropriate, to the Participant's legal representative or estate without regard to whether specific reference to such legal representative or estate is contained in a particular provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **<u>Binding Effect</u>.** This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **<u>Acknowledgement of Non-Reliance</u>.** Except for those representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Participant hereby disclaims reliance on any and all representations, warranties, or statements of any nature or kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the accuracy or completeness of such representations, warranties, or statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **<u>Entire Agreement; Amendment</u>.** This Agreement, together with the Plan, represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreement, written or otherwise, relating to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. **<u>Governing Law</u>.** This Agreement, the interpretation and enforcement thereof and all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise, will be governed solely and exclusively by, and construed in accordance with, the laws and judicial decisions of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws and judicial decisions of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. **<u>Forum Selection</u>.** All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will be heard and determined solely and exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery will decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, exclusively in any state or federal court within the State of Delaware).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. **<u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>.** Each party hereby waives its right to a jury trial of any and all claims or cause of actions based upon or arising out of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the waiver contained in this Section 24 is made knowingly and voluntarily.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. **<u>Data Privacy</u>. *The Company is located at 2929 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104 US, and grants Units under the Plan to employees and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates in its sole discretion. In conjunction with the Company's grant of Units under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such Units, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices. In accepting the grant of the Unit, the Participant expressly and explicitly consents to the personal data activities as described herein.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)***<u>Data Collection, Processing and Usage</u>. The Company and the Service Recipient will collect, process and use certain personal information about the Participant, specifically, the Participant's name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant's favor ("Data"), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The***

------

***Participant's Data also may be disclosed to certain securities or other regulatory authorities where the Company's securities are listed or traded or regulatory filings are made. The Company's legal basis for the collection, processing and use of the Participant's Data is the Participant's consent.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)***<u>Stock Plan Administration Service Providers</u>. The Company and the Service Recipient transfer the Participant's Data to Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC or any of its successor or other third party service provider based in the United States of America and engaged by the Company to assist with the implementation, administration and management of Units granted under the Plan (collectively, the "Stock Plan Administrator"). In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Participant's Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan. The Participant will be asked to agree to separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition of the Participant's ability to participate in the Plan.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)***<u>International Data Transfers</u>. The Company is based in the United States and the Stock Plan Administrator is based in the United States of America. The Participant should note that the Participant's country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States of America. The Company's legal basis for the transfer of the Participant's Data is the Participant's consent.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)***<u>Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent, Denial or Withdrawal</u>. The Participant's participation in the Plan and the Participant's grant of consent hereunder is purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or withdraw their consent at any time. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later withdraws their consent, the Participant may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Participant's existing employment or salary; instead, the Participant merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with participation in the Plan.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)***<u>Data Retention</u>. The Participant understands that the Participant's Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant's participation in the Plan. When the Company no longer needs the Participant's Data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company retains the Participant's Data longer, it would be to satisfy the Company's legal or regulatory obligations and the Company's legal basis would be for compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)***<u>Data Subject Rights</u>. The Participant understands that the Participant may have the right under applicable law to (i) access or copy the Participant's Data that the Company possesses, (ii) rectify incorrect Data concerning the Participant, (iii) delete the Participant's Data, (iv) restrict processing of the Participant's Data, or (v) lodge complaints with the competent supervisory authorities in the Participant's country of residence. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Participant understands that the Participant can contact the Company's or the Service Recipient's human resources representative by email at AskHR-NA@fmc.com or by writing to the following address: 2929 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104. The Company will process the Participant's requests related to these rights as the law allows, which means in some cases there may be legal or other official reasons that Company may not be able to address the specific request related to the Participant's rights to protect the Participant's privacy. Company will take steps to verify the Participant identity before fulfilling any such request.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. **&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Section Headings</u>.** The headings of sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;29. **<u>Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws</u>.** The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant's country, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect their ability to acquire or sell the Shares or rights to the Shares under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have "inside information" regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the Participant's country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant's responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Participant is advised to speak to their personal advisor on this matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;30. **<u>Exchange Control, Foreign Asset/Account and/or Tax Reporting</u>.** The Participant acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset/account and/or tax reporting requirements which may affect the Participant's ability to acquire or hold Shares or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on Shares or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant's country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets, or related transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant's country. The Participant may also be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other cash received as a result of the Participant's participation in the Plan to the Participant's country within a certain period of time after receipt. The Participant is responsible for complying with such regulations and should speak with a personal legal advisor on this matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;31. **<u>Language</u>.** If the Participant has received this Agreement, or any other document related to the Unit and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless explicitly required by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;33. **<u>Waiver</u>.** The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Participant or any other participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;34. **<u>Appendix</u>.** Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the grant of the Units shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions for the Participant's country set forth in the Appendix. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the additional terms and conditions for such country will apply, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.

**EXHIBIT A** 

**TO NOTICE OF GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS** 

**GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT**

**UNDER THE FMC CORPORATION**

**2026 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN**

This Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, including any additional terms or conditions for the Participant's country set forth in any appendix attached hereto (the "<u>Appendix</u>," and collectively with this Global Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, this "<u>Agreement</u>") is made by and between the Company and the Participant.

The Board adopted the Plan on January 30, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of the Stockholder Approval Requirement at the Annual Meeting. If the Stockholder Approval Requirement is not satisfied at the Annual Meeting, then the Plan, this Agreement, and the Notice shall be cancelled and terminated and *void ab initio*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **<u>Grant of Restricted Stock Units</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to the Plan and effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice, the Company hereby awards to the Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Notice, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "<u>Units</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Unit, once vested, represents an unfunded, unsecured right of the Participant to receive one Share at a specified time. The Units will become vested, and Shares will be issued in respect of vested Units, as set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **<u>Vesting.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the Participant's continued employment by the Company through the applicable date or event, the then unvested Units will become vested on the earliest of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the applicable Specified Vesting Date set forth in the Notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the date the Participant has satisfied the Normal Retirement Criteria;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Participant's death;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Participant's Disability, provided that such Disability meets the requirements of US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(4);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)subject to Section 2(c), the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company within two years following a Change in Control due to either a termination by the Company without Cause or a resignation by the Participant with Good Reason; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) the Company's termination of this arrangement in a manner consistent with the requirements of US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Subject to Section 2(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2(a), if prior to the date that any Units otherwise vest, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service by the Company without Cause other than within two years following a Change in Control, a pro-rata portion of the then unvested Units (calculated as (i) the total number of Units granted on the Grant Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was employed by the Company from and after the Grant Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the latest Specified Vesting Date, *less* (ii) the number of Units that became vested upon the Specified Vesting Date(s) occurring prior to the date of the Termination of Service) will become vested on the effective date of such Termination of Service; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that this Section 2(b) shall not apply if such Termination of Service occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Participant's employment or service commencement date.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The application of Sections 2(a)(v) and 2(b) is, in each case, conditioned on (i) the Participant's execution and delivery to the Company of a general release of claims against the Company and its Affiliates, or such other separation-related agreement, in each case in a form prescribed by the Company, and (ii) such release or agreement becoming irrevocable within 60 days following the Participant's Termination of Service or such shorter period specified by the Company. For avoidance of doubt, if this requirement is not timely satisfied, the Units that would have vested due to the application of Sections 2(a)(v) or 2(b) will be forfeited as of the effective date of the Participant's Termination of Service and the Participant will have no further rights with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Upon the Participant's Termination of Service with the Company, any Unit that has not become vested on or prior to the effective date of such Termination of Service (taking into account any applicable acceleration of vesting under Sections 2(a) or 2(b)) will then be forfeited immediately and automatically, and the Participant will have no further rights with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For purposes of the Units, the Participant's "Termination of Service" will be considered to occur as of the date the Participant is no longer actively providing service to the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction in which the Participant is providing service or the terms of the Participant's service agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Participant's right to vest in the Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Participant's period of service will not include any contractual notice period or any period of "garden leave" or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction in which the Participant is providing service or the terms of the Participant's service agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing service for purposes of the Units (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing service while on a leave of absence).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Timing of Issuance.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to Section 3(b), Shares will be issued in respect of all vested Units as soon as practicable (and in any event within 70 days following) the earliest to occur of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the applicable Specified Vesting Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the date of the Participant's separation from service (as that term is defined in US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Participant's death;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Participant's Termination of Service due to the Participant's Disability; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) the Company's termination of this arrangement in a manner consistent with the requirements of US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to the extent permitted by US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi) and at the discretion of the Company, the issuance of Shares in respect of a number of vested Shares will be accelerated to the date that employment taxes become payable with respect to this Award. Such number of Units will be equal to the reasonably estimated amount of income and employment taxes then required to be withheld and remitted, divided by the then current fair market value of the Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)to the extent the requirements of US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii) are met, the issuance of Shares hereunder will be delayed to the extent the Company reasonably anticipates that the issuance will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable laws;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)to the extent compliance with the requirements of US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(2) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, Shares that are otherwise issuable upon the Participant's "separation from service" (as that term is defined in US Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)) will be deferred (without interest) and issued to the Participant immediately following that six month period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)if the Units vest as a result of the application of Section 2(a)(v) or 2(b) and the period for the required release to become irrevocable under Section 2(c)(ii) spans two calendar years, Shares will not be issued prior to the start of that second calendar year; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) to the extent that any Units vest in accordance with Section 2 prior to the date that the Stockholder Approval Requirement is satisfied, then no Shares shall be delivered in respect of any such Units unless and until the Stockholder Approval Requirement is satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) to the extent that any Units vest in accordance with Section 2 prior to the date that the Stockholder Approval Requirement is satisfied, then no Shares shall be delivered in respect of any such Units unless and until the Stockholder Approval Requirement is satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if the Participant's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (or if the Participant resigns at a time that a Cause basis for termination exists), then the Participant will forfeit immediately and automatically all Units (whether or not otherwise vested) and will have no further rights hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **<u>Certain Definition(s)</u>**. For purposes of this Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)"*Normal Retirem*ent Criteria" means the Participant has (i) both attained age 62 and completed 10 years of continuous employment with the Company; or (ii) attained age 65.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **<u>Non-Transferability</u>**. The Units are subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth in Section 19 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **<u>Rights Upon Death</u>**. In the event of the death of the Participant, any distributions hereunder will be made to the Participant's estate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by the Committee in its discretion, the Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary (which may be a person or trust) to receive distributions hereunder in the event of the Participant's death. If the Committee permits beneficiary designations, but the Participant does not designate a beneficiary, the designated beneficiary does not survive the Participant or the beneficiary designation is invalid or defective, then distributions hereunder will be made to the Participant's estate

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **<u>Stockholder Rights</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Participant will not have any stockholder rights or privileges, including voting or dividend rights, with respect to the Shares subject to Units until such Shares are actually issued and registered in the Participant's name in the Company's books and records.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Company declares and pays a cash dividend or distribution with respect to its Shares while Units are outstanding hereunder, the Company will make a special cash payment to the Participant equal to the amount of the dividend or distribution that would have been payable to the Participant had the Participant been the record holder of a number of Shares equal to the number of Units outstanding hereunder (whether or not vested) on the record date of such dividend or distribution. Such special cash payment will be paid at the same time as the related dividend or distribution and will be subject to withholding for applicable taxes; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any special cash payment contemplated by this Section 7(b) shall not be made to the Participant unless and until the Stockholder Approval Requirement is satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>No Limitation on Rights of the Company</u>**. The granting of Units will not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, reincorporate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Company Policies</u>**. The Participant acknowledges that this Award is subject to the clawback provisions set forth in Section 21 of the Plan. In addition, in consideration for the grant of this Award, the Participant agrees to be subject to any additional policies of the Company or its Affiliates covering the Participant regarding clawbacks (including, without limitation, the Company's Policy Relating to Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, effective as of October 2, 2023), securities trading, and hedging or pledging of securities that may be in effect from time to time, whether adopted before or after the Grant Date, or as may otherwise be required by applicable law, regulation or exchange listing standard. The Participant understands that the Participant is hereby bound by each such policy in its entirety, and that such policies are not limited in their application to this Award, or equity or cash received in connection with this Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **<u>No Right to Continued Employment.</u>** Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan will constitute the formation of or amendment to any contract of service or confer on the Participant any right to continue in service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant) to terminate the Participant's employment or service at any time for any reason, with or without Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Tax Matters</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In accordance with Section 20 of the Plan, the obligations of the Company hereunder are conditioned on the Participant satisfying required tax withholding obligations in a method authorized by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan, or the acquisition or sale of the Shares subject to the Units. The Participant has had the opportunity to review with the Participant's own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Affiliate or Subsidiary to which the Participant provides service (the "Service Recipient"), the ultimate liability for any income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to a Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant ("Tax-Related Items") is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, and as a condition to the Company's obligation to issue Shares upon vesting of the Units hereunder, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company such amount as may be required to satisfy all applicable Tax-Related Items arising in connection with the Units (or otherwise make arrangements acceptable to the Company for the satisfaction any applicable withholding obligations with respect to all Tax-Related Items). In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Service Recipient, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with respect to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)requiring the Participant to make a payment in a form acceptable to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)withholding from the Participant's wages or other cash compensation payable to the Participant by the Company and/or the Service Recipient;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Units (i.e., net settlement), *provided*, *however*, that if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then unless the Committee (as constituted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) determines otherwise, this method (iv) shall be the default withholding method for such Participant; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)any other method of withholding determined by the Company and, to the extent required by applicable law or the Plan, approved by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in the Participant's jurisdiction(s). If the maximum rate is used, any over-withheld amount may be refunded to the Participant in cash by the Company or the Service Recipient (with no entitlement to the Share equivalent) or if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company or the Service Recipient. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of Shares as described herein, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vesting portion of the Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. If the required amount necessary to satisfy all Tax-Related Items, as determined by the Company, is not timely paid or satisfied, the Participant's right to receive Shares will be permanently forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **<u>Nature of Grant.</u>** In accepting the Unit, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the grant of the Unit is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of stock options, or benefits in lieu of stock options, even if stock options have been granted in the past;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)all decisions with respect to future unit or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)the Unit, the underlying Shares and the income and value of same are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)the Unit, the underlying Shares and the income and value of same are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end-of-service payments, any bonus, holiday pay, long-service award, pension, or retirement or welfare benefit, or any similar payment and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or Service Recipient;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)if the Participant vests the Units and acquires Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Units resulting from the Participant's Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is rendering services or the terms of the Participant's employment or service agreement, if any), or from the application of any clawback or recoupment policy adopted by the Company or imposed by applicable law;

If any provision of this Agreement or any term or condition of the Units would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of noncompliance with Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notices.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Agreement must be given in writing and addressed, if to the Company, to its principal executive office to the attention of its General Counsel, and, if to the Participant, to the address on file with the Company, or to such other address as the Participant may designate in writing in accordance with this paragraph. Except as otherwise provided below in Section 14(b), any notice will be deemed to be duly given: if delivered personally or via recognized overnight delivery service, on the date and at the time so delivered; if sent via telecopier or email, on the date and at the time telecopied or emailed with confirmation of delivery; or, if mailed, five (5) days after the date of mailing by registered or certified mail.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Participant hereby authorizes the Company to deliver electronically any prospectuses or other documentation related to this Award, the Plan and any other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement in effect from time to time (including, without limitation, periodic reports, proxy statements or other documents that are required to be delivered to participants in such plans or arrangements pursuant to federal or state laws, rules or regulations). For this purpose, electronic delivery will include, without limitation, delivery by means of e-mail or e-mail notification that such documentation is available on the Company's Intranet site or the website of a vendor designated by the Company. Upon written request, the Company will provide to the Participant a paper copy of any document also delivered to the Participant electronically. The authorization described in this paragraph may be revoked by the Participant at any time by written notice to the Company.

For the purposes of this Section 15, "contact" means any interaction whatsoever between the Participant and the other employee. The Company's waiver of a breach of any provision of this Section 15 by the Participant does not operate as and should not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant, nor does the Company's failure to take action against any other employee for similar breaches operate as a waiver by the Company of a breach. The Participant understands, acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Participant breaches and/or threatens to breach of any of the covenants and provisions contained in this Section 15, the Company shall suffer irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law. The Company will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief from the courts without bond, enjoining the Participant from engaging in activities in breach of this Section 15. Following the Participant's Termination of Service for any reason, the Participant agrees to provide a copy of this Section 15, and consents to the Company's providing a copy of this Section 15 to any subsequent employer or potential employer of the Participant, or other interested parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Administration.</u>** By entering into this Agreement, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that (a) the Company has provided or made available to the Participant a copy of the Plan, (b) the Participant has read the Plan, (c) all Units are subject to the Plan, and (d) pursuant to the Plan, the Committee is authorized to interpret the Plan and awards issued thereunder, and to adopt rules and regulations not inconsistent with the Plan as it deems appropriate. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee with respect to questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **<u>References</u>**. References herein to rights and obligations of the Participant shall apply, where appropriate, to the Participant's legal representative or estate without regard to whether specific reference to such legal representative or estate is contained in a particular provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Acknowledgment of Non-Reliance</u>**. Except for those representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Participant hereby disclaims reliance on any and all representations, warranties, or statements of any nature or kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the accuracy or completeness of such representations, warranties, or statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Data Privacy</u>**. ***The Company is located at 2929 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104 US, and grants Units under the Plan to employees and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates in its sole*** discretion***. In conjunction with the Company's grant of Units under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such Units, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices. In accepting the grant of the Unit, the Participant expressly and explicitly consents to the personal data activities as described herein.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***<u>Data Collection, Processing and Usage</u>. The Company and the Service Recipient will collect, process and use certain personal information about the Participant, specifically, the Participant's name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant's favor ("Data"), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Participant's Data also may be disclosed to certain securities or other regulatory authorities where the Company's securities are listed or traded or regulatory filings are made. The Company's legal basis for the collection, processing and use of the Participant's Data is the Participant's consent.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Stock Plan Administration Service Providers</u>. The Company and the Service Recipient transfer the Participant's Data to Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC or any of its successor or other third party service provider based in the United States of America and engaged by the Company to assist with the implementation, administration and management of Units granted under the Plan (collectively, the "Stock Plan Administrator"). In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Participant's Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Participant to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan. The Participant will be asked to agree to separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition of the Participant's ability to participate in the Plan.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>International Data Transfers</u>. The Company is based in the United States and the Stock Plan Administrator is based in the United States of America. The Participant should note that the Participant's country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States of America. The Company's legal basis for the transfer of the Participant's Data is the Participant's consent.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent, Denial or Withdrawal</u>. The Participant's participation in the Plan and the Participant's grant of consent hereunder is purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or withdraw their consent at any time. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later withdraws their consent, the Participant may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Participant's existing employment or salary; instead, the Participant merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with participation in the Plan.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(e) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Data Retention</u>. The Participant understands that the Participant's Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant's participation in the Plan. When the Company no longer needs the Participant's Data, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company retains the Participant's Data longer, it would be to satisfy the Company's legal or regulatory obligations and the Company's legal basis would be for compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.***

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Data Subject Rights</u>. The Participant understands that the Participant may have the right under applicable law to (i) access or copy the Participant's Data that the Company possesses, (ii) rectify incorrect Data concerning the Participant, (iii) delete the Participant's Data, (iv) restrict processing of the Participant's Data, or (v) lodge complaints with the competent supervisory authorities in the Participant's country of residence. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Participant understands that the Participant can contact the Company's or the Service Recipient's human resources representative by email at AskHR-NA@fmc.com or by writing to the following address: 2929 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104. The Company will process the Participant's requests related to these rights as the law allows, which means in some cases there may be legal or other official reasons that Company may not be able to address the specific request related to the Participant's rights to protect the Participant's privacy. Company will take steps to verify the Participant identity before fulfilling any such request.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Section Headings</u>**. The headings of sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Further Assurances</u>**. The Participant agrees, upon demand of the Company, to do all acts and execute, deliver and perform all additional documents, instruments and agreements which may be reasonably required by the Company to implement the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;28. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Discretionary Nature</u>**. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the grant of the Units is discretionary, and any future awards will be made in the Committee's discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;29.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **<u>Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws</u>**. The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant's country, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect their ability to acquire or sell the Shares or rights to the Shares under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have "inside information" regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the Participant's country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant's responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Participant is advised to speak to their personal advisor on this matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;30. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Exchange Control, Foreign Asset/Account and/or Tax Reporting</u>**. The Participant acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset/account and/or tax reporting requirements which may affect the Participant's ability to acquire or hold Shares or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on Shares or sale proceeds arising from the sale of Shares) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant's country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets, or related transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant's country. The Participant may also be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other cash received as a result of the Participant's participation in the Plan to the Participant's country within a certain period of time after receipt. The Participant is responsible for complying with such regulations and should speak with a personal legal advisor on this matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;31. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Language</u>**. If the Participant has received this Agreement, or any other document related to the Unit and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless explicitly required by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;32. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Appendix</u>**. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the grant of the Units shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions for the Participant's country set forth in the Appendix. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the additional terms and conditions for such country will apply, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;33. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Waiver</u>**. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Participant or any other participant.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;34. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Imposition of Other Requirements</u>**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant's participation in the Plan, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
