Newell Brands Inc. 
 
Long Term Incentive Performance Pay Terms and Conditions 

1.Grants.  Under the terms and provisions of the Newell Rubbermaid Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan, or any successor plan (the “Stock Plan”), the Organizational Development & Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Newell Brands Inc. (the “Company”), at any time and from time to time, may grant awards based on shares of the Company’s Common Stock, including Restricted Stock Units, to eligible employees in such amounts as the Committee shall determine.  This document, referred to herein as the “LTIP”, establishes a methodology for determining awards of Restricted Stock Units under the Stock Plan in 2017 to eligible Newell legacy employees with positions in Salary Bands 6-14 and certain legacy Jarden employees as described below (“Key Employees”).  The Committee or, in the case of awards to the Chief Executive Officer, the independent members of the Board of Directors (the “Independent Directors”), will grant Restricted Stock Units to Key Employees pursuant to the guidelines set forth below.
2.    Guidelines.  The number of shares subject to Restricted Stock Units granted to a Key Employee in 2017 as an LTIP award will be determined as follows:
		
	(a)
	For 2017 LTIP awards the Committee will determine:

		
	(i)
	For each Key Employee an award value, generally expressed as a percentage of the Key Employee’s base salary rate as in effect on January 31, 2017, which percentage will be based on the Key Employee’s Salary Band for legacy Newell employees and consistent with prior awards with respect to legacy Jarden employees (the “Base Value”). The Committee or, in the case of awards to the Chief Executive Officer, the Independent Directors, may adjust the Base Value for any Key Employee based on individual performance or other factors deemed relevant by the Committee.    

		
	(ii)
	A comparator group of companies for purposes of determining the Company’s relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) for the performance period (the “TSR Comparator Group”).

		
	(b)
	Of the Base Value determined for each Key Employee for each year:

		
	(i)
	Time-Based Restricted Stock Units.  The Committee or, in the case of awards to the Chief Executive Officer, the Independent Directors, will authorize a Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit grant to each Key Employee for a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the following percentage of the applicable Base Value for such Key Employee by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant:

Salary Bands 12 through 14                        0%
Salary Bands 9 and 11 (and legacy Jarden Division CEOs)        30%
Salary Bands 7 and 8 (and certain legacy Jarden VPs and SVPs)    40%
Salary Band 6 (and certain legacy Jarden directors             50%

identified by  the Committee)                         
		
	(ii)
	Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units.  The Committee or, in the case of awards to the Chief Executive Officer, the Independent Directors, will authorize a Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit grant to each Key Employee for a number of shares determined by dividing the following percentage of the applicable Base Value for such Key Employee by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant:

Salary Bands 12 through 14                        100%
Salary Bands 9 and 11(and legacy Jarden Division CEOs)        70%
Salary Bands 7 and 8 (and certain legacy Jarden VPs and SVPs)    60%
Salary Band 6    (and certain legacy Jarden directors            50%
 identified by the Committee)                        

This Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit grant will be subject to the TSR Comparator Group analysis as set forth in Exhibit A of the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (attached hereto).  
3.    Vesting. Except as otherwise specified by the Committee or as set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement of a Key Employee, each Restricted Stock Unit grant will be subject to a three-year cliff vesting schedule ending on the third anniversary of the date of grant.  
4.    Restricted Stock Unit Agreements.  Each Restricted Stock Unit grant awarded pursuant to this LTIP will be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement in accordance with Section 4.3 of the Stock Plan, which will specify the number of shares subject to the award, the vesting schedule, the payment provisions, including dividend or dividend equivalent payment provisions, if any, and such other provisions as the Committee determines including, without limitation, provisions regarding continued employment with the Company, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific Company-wide performance goals, time-based restrictions on vesting following the attainment of Performance Goals, and/or restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws. 
5.    Amendment or Termination of LTIP.  The Committee reserves the right to amend or terminate the LTIP at any time, retroactively or otherwise.  For avoidance of doubt, once established by the Committee, no performance goals applicable to a Performance-Based RSU may be amended or revised with respect to any award made to a Covered Employee, as such term is defined within Section 162(m) of the Code. 
6.    Non US Employees.  Key Employees who reside outside the United States (other than such employees residing in Argentina and Venezuela and members of the Newell Brands Executive Leadership Team) will receive cash–based Time-Based Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Stock Units under the 2015 Newell Rubbermaid Inc. International Incentive Plan.

7.    Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms pursuant to the Stock Plan.

	2.
	The Company’s ranking (in the range of highest to lowest) in the TSR Comparator Group at the end of the performance period beginning January 1, 2017, and ending December 31, 2019, will be determined by the Committee on the basis of the TSR for the Performance Period for each of the members in the TSR Comparator Group as calculated below (with the highest number ranked first and the lowest number ranked last): 

TSR is calculated as follows and then expressed as a percentage:
(Ending Average Market Value – Beginning Average Market Value) + Cumulative Annual Dividends
Beginning Average Market Value
“Average Market Value” means the simple average of the daily stock prices at close for each trading day during the applicable ninety (90)-day period beginning or ending on the specified date for which such closing price is reported by the NYSE or other authoritative source the Committee may determine.
“Beginning Average Market Value” means the Average Market Value based on the trading days in the ninety (90) days immediately preceding the beginning of the Performance Period.  
“Cumulative Annual Dividends” mean the cumulative dividends and other distributions with respect to a share of the Common Stock paid during the Performance Period.
“Ending Average Market Value” means the Average Market Value based on the trading days in the last ninety (90) days of the Performance Period.  
________________
1 Any companies that are in the TSR Comparator Group at the beginning of the performance period that no longer exist at the end of the three-year performance period, (e.g., through merger, buyout, spin-off, or similar transaction), or otherwise change their structure or business such that they are no longer reasonably comparable to the Company, shall be disregarded by the Committee in the Committee’s calculation of the appropriate interpolated percentage.
2 HEN3.DE

A-1

“Performance Period” means the three (3)-year performance period beginning January 1, 2017 and ending December 31, 2019.
		
	3.
	The number of Performance-Based RSUs/SUs subject to the Award will be multiplied by an interpolated percentage (using straight-line interpolation) attributable to the Company’s ranking in the TSR Comparator Group as set forth below:

The TSR Comparator Group member with the highest ranking will have a percentage of 200%, and the member with the lowest ranking in the TSR Comparator Group will have a percentage of 0%.  However, in the event the Company’s ranking in the TSR Comparator Group is in the bottom quartile of the TSR Comparator Group at the end of the three-year performance period (i.e., December 31, 2019), no payment shall be made regardless of the interpolated percentage.  TSR Comparator Group members between the highest ranking and lowest ranking will have interpolated percentages.  For example, if the initial TSR Comparator Group has 22 companies at the beginning of the performance period and 3 of the companies have been merged out of existence or are no longer comparable by the end of the performance period, the interpolated percentages will be based on where the Company ranks among the remaining 19 companies as follows:

Exhibit 10.2
Newell Brands LTIP RSU Award
February 2017

2017 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”)
A Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) Award (the “Award”) granted by Newell Brands Inc. (formerly known as Newell Rubbermaid Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the employee (the “Grantee”) named in the Award letter provided to the Grantee (the “Award Letter”) relating to the common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and the provisions of the Newell Rubbermaid Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan, a copy of which is provided to the Grantee and the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference (the “Plan”).  Unless otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms of this Agreement shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.
1.Acceptance by Grantee.  The receipt of the Award is conditioned upon the Grantee’s acceptance of the Award Letter, thereby becoming a party to this Agreement, no later than sixty (60) days after the date of the Award set forth therein (the “Award Date”) or, if later, thirty (30) days after the Grantee is informed of the availability of this Agreement.
2.    Grant of RSUs.  The Company hereby grants to the Grantee the Award of RSUs, as set forth in the Award Letter.  An RSU is the right, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, to receive, as determined by the Company, either a payment of a share of Common Stock for each RSU or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of vesting of the Grantee’s Award, or a combination thereto, as described in Section 7 of this Agreement.  A “Time-Based RSU” is a RSU subject to a service-based restriction on vesting; and a “Performance-Based RSU” is a RSU subject to restrictions on vesting based upon the achievement of specific performance goals.
3.    RSU Account.  The Company shall maintain an account (“RSU Account”) on its books in the name of the Grantee which shall reflect the number of RSUs awarded to the Grantee.
4.    Dividend Equivalents.
(a)    Time-Based RSUs.  Upon the payment of any dividend on Common Stock whose record date occurs during the period preceding the earlier of the date of vesting of the Grantee’s Award or the date the Grantee’s Award is forfeited as described with Section 5, the Company shall credit the Grantee’s RSU Account with an amount equal in value to the dividends that the Grantee would have received had the Grantee been the actual owner of the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Time-Based RSUs in the Grantee’s RSU Account on that record date.  Such amounts shall be paid to the Grantee at the time and in the form of payment specified in Section 7.    Any such dividend equivalents relating to Time-Based RSUs that are forfeited shall also be forfeited.  Any such payments shall be payments of dividend equivalents, and shall not constitute the payments of dividends to the Grantee that would violate the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement.
(b)    Performance-Based RSUs.  Upon the payment of any dividend on Common Stock whose record date occurs during the period preceding the earlier of the date of vesting of the Grantee’s Award or the date the Grantee’s Award is forfeited as described in Section 5, the Company shall credit the Grantee’s RSU Account with an amount equal in value to the dividends that the 

- 1 -

Grantee would have received had the Grantee been the actual owner of the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Performance-Based RSUs in the Grantee’s RSU Account on that record date.  Such amounts shall be paid to the Grantee at the time and in the form of payment specified in Section 7.  The amount of dividend equivalents payable to the Grantee shall be adjusted to reflect the adjustment made to the related RSUs pursuant to Section 6 (which shall be determined by multiplying such amount by the percentage adjustment made to the related RSUs).  Any such dividend equivalents relating to Performance-Based RSUs that are forfeited shall also be forfeited.  Any such payments shall be payments of dividend equivalents, and shall not constitute the payments of dividends to the Grantee that would violate the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement.
5.    Vesting.
(a)    Except as described in subsections (b), (c) and (d) below, the Grantee shall become vested (i) in his Award of Time-Based RSUs upon the third year anniversary of the Award Date if the Grantee remains in continuous employment with the Company or an affiliate until such vesting date, and (ii) in his Award of Performance-Based RSUs if (aa) the Grantee remains in the continuous employment with the Company or an affiliate until such vesting date, and (bb) the performance criteria applicable to such Performance-Based RSUs, set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement, are satisfied.
(b)    If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and all affiliates terminates prior to the third year anniversary of the Award Date due to death or disability, the Award shall become vested on such date of death or disability.  For this purpose “disability” means (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) the Grantee is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months.
(c)    If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and all affiliates terminates prior to the third year anniversary of the Award Date due to retirement, without cause, and on or after the date on which the Grantee has attained age sixty (60), the Time-Based RSUs and the Performance-Based RSUs made twelve (12) or more months prior to retirement shall remain outstanding until the third year anniversary of the Award Date, at which time the Time-Based RSUs will vest as provided in Section 5(a) above and the Grantee will receive “Pro-Rated Time-Based RSUs” and the Performance-Based RSUs (which shall not be prorated) will vest as provided in Section 5(a) above based on the performance criteria applicable to such Performance-Based RSUs set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.  If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and all affiliates terminates prior to the third year anniversary of the Award Date due to retirement, without cause, and on or after the date on which the Grantee has attained age fifty-five (55) with ten or more years of credited service but before the date on which the Grantee has attained age sixty (60), the Time-Based RSUs and the Performance-Based RSUs made twelve (12) or more months prior to retirement shall remain outstanding until the third year anniversary of the Award Date, at which time the Time-Based RSUs and the Performance-Based RSUs will vest as provided in Section 5(a) above and the Grantee will receive “Pro-Rated Time-Based RSUs” and “Pro-Rated Performance-Based RSUs”, with such Pro-Rated Performance-Based RSUs to vest as provided 

- 2 -

in Section 5(a) above based on the performance criteria applicable to such Pro-Rated Performance-Based RSUs set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement. The portion of the Award that does not vest shall be forfeited to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, any Award made less than twelve (12) months prior to retirement shall be forfeited and no portion of such Award shall vest.  For purposes of this subsection (c):
(1)    The term “affiliate” means each entity with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under Sections 414(b) and 414(c) of the Code, substituting “at least 50%” instead of “at least 80%” in making such determination.
(2)    The term “credited service” means the Grantee’s period of employment with the Company and all affiliates since the most recent date of hire (including any predecessor company or business acquired by the Company or any affiliate, provided the Grantee was immediately employed by the Company or any affiliate).  Age and credited service shall be determined in fully completed years and months, with each month being measured as a continuous period of thirty (30) days.
(3)    The term “cause” means the Grantee’s termination of employment due to unsatisfactory performance or conduct detrimental to the Company or its affiliates, as determined solely by the Company.
(4)    The term “Pro-Rated Time-Based RSUs” means, with respect to the Time-Based RSUs granted to the Grantee, the portion of the Time-Based RSUs determined by dividing the full number of months of Grantee’s employment with the Company and all affiliates from the Award’s grant date until Grantee’s retirement by thirty-six (36) (in each case carried out to three decimal points).
(5)     The term “Pro-Rated Performance-Based RSUs” means, with respect to the Performance-Based RSUs granted to the Grantee, the portion of the Performance-Based RSUs determined by dividing the full number of months of Grantee’s employment with the Company and all affiliates from the Award’s grant date until Grantee’s retirement by thirty-six (36) (in each case carried out to three decimal points). 
(d)    If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and all affiliates terminates prior to the third year anniversary of the Award Date for any reason other than death, disability or retirement (as defined above), the entire Award shall be forfeited to the Company, automatically upon such termination of the Grantee’s employment, without further action required by the Company, and no portion of the Award shall vest.
(e)    In the case of a Grantee who is also a Director, if the Grantee’s employment with the Company and all affiliates terminates before the end of the Award’s three (3) - year vesting period, but the Grantee remains a Director, the Grantee’s service on the Board will be considered employment with the Company, and the Grantee’s Award will continue to vest while the Grantee’s service on the Board continues.  Any subsequent termination of service on the Board will be considered termination of employment and vesting will determined as of the date of such termination of service.

- 3 -

(f)    The provisions of Section 12.1(b) of the Plan shall apply to the Grantee’s Award of Performance-Based RSUs in the event of a Change in Control, and Plan Section 12.1(a) shall be inapplicable to such Award of Performance-Based RSUs.  For the avoidance of doubt, Performance-Based RSUs following a Change in Control shall be treated in the same manner as Time-Based RSUs following a Change in Control (e.g., the value of an unvested Performance-Based RSU shall equal the value of an unvested Time-Based RSU, and any unvested Performance-Based RSUs shall either be replaced by a time-based equity award or become immediately vested).
The foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall be subject to the provisions of any written employment security agreement or severance agreement that has been or may be executed by the Grantee and the Company or any of its affiliates, and the provisions in such employment security agreement or severance agreement concerning vesting of an Award shall supersede any inconsistent or contrary provision of this Section 5.
6.    Adjustment of Performance-Based RSUs.  The number of RSUs subject to the Award that are Performance-Based RSUs as described in the Award Letter shall be adjusted by the Committee after the end of the three (3) - year performance period that begins on January 1 of the year in which the Award is granted, in accordance with the long-term incentive performance pay terms and conditions established under the Plan (the “LTIP”).  Any Performance-Based RSUs that vest in accordance with Section 5(b) prior to the date the Committee determines the level of performance goal achievement applicable to such RSUs shall not be adjusted pursuant to the LTIP.  The particular performance criteria that apply to the Performance-Based RSUs are set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.
7.    Settlement of Award.  If a Grantee becomes vested in the Award in accordance with Section 5, the Company shall pay to the Grantee, or the Grantee’s personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as applicable, either a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested RSUs and dividend equivalents credited to the Grantee’s RSU Account, as adjusted in accordance with Section 6, if applicable, or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock and dividend equivalents credited to the Grantee’s RSU Account on the date of vesting, or a combination thereof.  Such shares and/or cash shall be delivered/paid in a single sum within thirty (30) days following the date of vesting as defined in Section 5.
8.    Withholding Taxes.  The Company shall withhold from any payment made to the Grantee in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy all minimum Federal, state and local withholding tax requirements.  In the case of a payment made in shares of Common Stock, the Grantee shall pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all minimum Federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any shares.  Payment of such taxes may be made by one or more of the following methods:  (i) in cash, (ii) in cash received from a broker-dealer to whom the Grantee has submitted irrevocable instructions to deliver the amount of withholding tax to the Company from the proceeds of the sale of shares subject to the Award, (iii) by directing the Company to withhold a number of shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the tax required to be withheld, (iv) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock owned by the Grantee that is acceptable to the Company, valued at its Fair Market Value on the 

- 4 -

date of payment, or by certifying to ownership by attestation of such previously owned Common Stock, or (v) any combination of the foregoing.  
9.    Rights as Stockholder.  The Grantee shall not be entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Award, including the right to vote and to receive dividends and other distributions, until and to the extent the Award is settled in shares of Common Stock.
10.    Share Delivery.  Delivery of any shares in connection with settlement of the Award will be by book-entry credit to an account in the Grantee’s name established by the Company with the Company’s transfer agent, or upon written request from the Grantee (or his personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as the case may be), in certificates in the name of the Grantee (or his personal representative, beneficiary or estate).
11.    Award Not Transferable.  The Award may not be transferred other than by last will and testament or the applicable laws of descent or distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.  The Award shall not otherwise be assigned, transferred, or pledged for any purpose whatsoever and is not subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution or levy of any kind.  Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, or encumbrance of the Award, other than in accordance with its terms, shall be void and of no effect.
12.    Administration.  The Award shall be administered in accordance with such regulations as the Organizational Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) shall from time to time adopt, and, to the extent applicable, in compliance with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) including, without limitation, any prorations required by Code Section 162(m).
13.    Section 409A Compliance.  To the extent that the Grantee’s right to receive payment of the RSUs and dividend equivalents constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and regulatory guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), then notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the shares of Common Stock and cash otherwise deliverable under Sections 4 and 7 shall be delivered in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code because:
(a)    The shares of Common Stock underlying the vested RSUs and the related dividend equivalents that are to become vested, and are deliverable, on the third anniversary of the Award Date (where the Grantee either remains in continuous employment with the Company or an affiliate until such vesting date or terminates employment prior to the third year anniversary of the Award Date due to retirement, as defined above) shall be delivered to the Grantee, or his personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as applicable, within thirty (30) days following the third anniversary of the Award Date.
(b)    The shares of Common Stock underlying the vested RSUs and the related dividend equivalents that are to become vested, and are deliverable, prior to the third year anniversary of the Award Date on the Grantee’s death or disability shall be delivered to the Grantee, or his 

- 5 -

personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as applicable, within thirty (30) days following the Grantee’s death or disability.  
(c)    In the event that any taxes described in Section 8 of this Agreement are due prior to the distribution of shares of Common Stock or cash underlying the RSUs, then the Grantee shall be required to satisfy the tax obligation in cash. 
(d)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Grantee shall be solely responsible for the tax consequences related to this Award, and neither the Company nor its affiliates shall be responsible if the Award fails to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code.  
14.    Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation.
(a)    Definitions.  The following definitions apply in this Agreement:
(1)     “Confidential Information” means any information that is not generally known outside the Company relating to any phase of business of the Company, whether existing or foreseeable, including information conceived, discovered or developed by the Grantee.

To the extent that the foregoing definition is inconsistent with a definition of “trade secret” under applicable law, the latter definition shall control.
(3)    Neither Confidential Information nor Trade Secrets include general skills or knowledge, or skills which the Grantee obtained prior to the Grantee’s employment with the Company.
(4)    “Tangible Company Property” means: documents; reports; drawings; diagrams; summaries; photographs; designs; specifications; formulae; samples;

Inventions do not include any invention that does not relate to the Company’s business or anticipated business or that does not relate to the Grantee’s work for the Company and which was developed entirely on the Grantee’s own time without the use of Company equipment, supplies, facilities or Confidential Information or Trade Secrets.
(b)    Confidentiality

(3)    The foregoing means that the Grantee will not, without written authority from the Company, use Confidential Information or Trade Secrets for the benefit or purposes of the Grantee or of any third party, or disclose them to others, except as required by the Grantee’s employment with the Company or as authorized above.

(2)    The Grantee hereby assigns any right and title to any Inventions to the Company.
(3)    With respect to Inventions that are copyrightable works, any Invention the Grantee creates will be deemed  a “work for hire” created within the scope of the Grantee’s employment, and such works and copyright interests therein (and all renewals and extensions thereof) shall belong solely and exclusively to the Company, with the Company having sole right to obtain and hold in its own name copyrights or such other protection as the Company may deem appropriate to the subject matter, and any extensions or renewals thereof.  If and to the extent that any such Invention is found not to be a work-for-hire, the Grantee hereby assigns to the Company all right and title to such Invention (including all copyrights and other intellectual property rights therein and all renewals and extensions thereof).
(4)    The Grantee agrees to execute all papers and otherwise provide assistance to the Company to enable it to obtain patents, copyrights, trademarks or other legal protection for Inventions in any country during, or after, the period of the Grantee’s employment.

(e)    Enforcement.
(1)    The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions provided in this Section 14 of the Agreement are reasonable in time and scope in light of the necessity for the protection of the business and good will of the Company and the consideration provided to the Grantee under this Agreement; and (ii) the Grantee’s ability to work and earn a living will not be unreasonably restrained by the application of these restrictions.
(2)    The Grantee also recognizes and agrees that should the Grantee fail to comply with the restrictions set forth above, the Company would suffer substantial damage for which there is no adequate remedy at law due to the impossibility of ascertaining exact money damages.

Performance Criteria Applicable to
Performance-Based RSUs 

1.    The Performance-Based RSUs covered by the Award will be subject to analysis with respect to the following Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) Comparator Group members1:

	
		
	3M Company
Avery Dennison Corporation
Brother Industries
The Clorox Company
Colgate-Palmolive Company
Dorel Industries Inc.
Ecolab Inc.
Electrolux Ab
Emerson Electric
Estee Lauder 
Fortune Brands

	General Mills
Henkel2
Kraft Heinz
Kimberly-Clark Corporation
Mattel, Inc.
Mitsubishi Electric
Societe Bic Sa

Whirlpool Corporation

2.    The Company’s ranking (in the range of highest to lowest) in the TSR Comparator Group at the end of the performance period beginning January 1, 2017, and ending December 31, 2019, will be determined by the Committee on the basis of the TSR for the Performance Period for each of the members in the TSR Comparator Group as calculated below (with the highest number ranked first and the lowest number ranked last): 
TSR is calculated as follows and then expressed as a percentage:

(Ending Average Market Value – Beginning Average Market Value) + Cumulative Annual Dividends
Beginning Average Market Value

“Average Market Value” means the simple average of the daily stock prices at close for each trading day during the applicable ninety (90)-day period beginning or ending on the specified date for which such closing price is reported by the NYSE or other authoritative source the Committee may determine.
__________________________
1Any companies that are in the TSR Comparator Group at the beginning of the performance period that no longer exist at the end of the three-year performance period, (e.g., through merger, buyout, spin-off, or similar transaction), or otherwise change their structure or business such that they are no longer reasonably comparable to the Company, shall be disregarded by the Committee in the Committee’s calculation of the appropriate interpolated percentage.
2 HEN3.DE

A-1

“Beginning Average Market Value” means the Average Market Value based on the trading days in the ninety (90) days immediately preceding the beginning of the Performance Period.  
“Cumulative Annual Dividends” mean the cumulative dividends and other distributions with respect to a share of the Common Stock paid during the Performance Period.
“Ending Average Market Value” means the Average Market Value based on the trading days in the last ninety (90) days of the Performance Period.  
“Performance Period” means the three (3)-year performance period beginning January 1, 2017 and ending December 31, 2019.
		
	3.
	The number of Performance-Based RSUs subject to the Award will be multiplied by an interpolated percentage (using straight-line interpolation) attributable to the Company’s ranking in the TSR Comparator Group as set forth below:

The TSR Comparator Group member with the highest ranking will have a percentage of 200%, and the member with the lowest ranking in the TSR Comparator Group will have a percentage of 0%.  However, in the event the Company’s ranking in the TSR Comparator Group is in the bottom quartile of the TSR Comparator Group at the end of the three-year performance period (i.e., December 31, 2019), no payment shall be made regardless of the interpolated percentage.  TSR Comparator Group members between the highest ranking and lowest ranking will have interpolated percentages.  For example, if the initial TSR Comparator Group has 22 companies at the beginning of the performance period and 3 of the companies have been merged out of existence or are no longer comparable by the end of the performance period, the interpolated percentages will be based on where the Company ranks among the remaining 19 companies as follows:
