Recipient:                     

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Popular, Inc. (the “Committee”) awarded you on February 14,
2019 (the “Grant Date”) a Long-Term Incentive Award consisting of Restricted Stock (“Restricted Stock”) and Performance Shares (“Performance Shares” and, in conjunction with the
Restricted Stock, the “Award”). 
 This award agreement (the “Award Agreement”), dated as of the Grant
Date, sets forth the terms and conditions of your Award. This Award is made under the Popular, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) and, except as otherwise provided herein, is subject to the terms of the Plan.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Award Agreement have the meanings given in the Plan. 
 1. Award. The number
of shares of Restricted Stock and Performance Shares subject to this Award is set forth in Annex 1 hereto. The Award will vest as set forth below. 

2. Vesting; Payout. 

Restricted Stock Vesting. Except as otherwise stated in this Section 2, you shall become vested in the Restricted Stock as follows
(each of the dates described in (i) and (ii) below, a “Restricted Stock Vesting Date”): 
 (i) 80% of your
Restricted Stock shall vest in equal annual installments on each of the dates specified in Annex 1, and 
 (ii) 20% of your Restricted Stock
shall vest upon termination of your employment after attaining (x) age 55 with 10 years of service with the Corporation or (y) age 60 with 5 years of service with the Corporation. 

Years of service shall be determined pursuant to the Corporation’s personnel policies and procedures. 

 Performance Shares Vesting. Except as otherwise stated in this Section 2, you
shall become vested in the Performance Shares on the day of the first scheduled meeting of the Committee taking place in the month of February 2022, subject to the Corporation’s achievement of the Performance Goals specified in Annex 1 during
the Performance Cycle, as certified by the Committee on such meeting (hereinafter the “Performance Shares Vesting Date” and, together with the Restricted Stock Vesting Date, the
“Vesting Date”). The Performance Goals will be based on two performance metrics weighted equally: the Relative Total Shareholder Return (the “TSR”) and the Absolute Earnings per Share (the
“EPS”) goals. The Performance Cycle is a three (3) year period beginning on January 1 of the calendar year of the Grant Date and ending on December 31 of the third year. Each Performance Goal will have a defined
minimum threshold (i.e., minimum result for which an incentive would be earned), target (i.e., result at which 100% of the incentive would be earned) and maximum level of performance (i.e., result at which 1.5 times the incentive target would be
earned). 
 Approved Retirement. Upon an Approved Retirement after attaining (x) age 55 with 10 years of service with the
Corporation or (y) age 60 with 5 years of service with the Corporation: (1) your outstanding Restricted Stock shall fully vest; and (2) your outstanding Performance Shares shall continue outstanding and vest in full on the Performance
Shares Vesting Date in accordance with the actual results of the Performance Goals during the Performance Cycle. 
 Vesting upon
Retirement on or after age 50 before attaining age 55 and 10 years of service. The Committee, at its discretion, may accord the same treatment accorded in Section 2(c) above if you retire from your employment on or after age 50, and before
attaining age 55 and 10 years of service, provided the sum of your age and years of service is at least 75. 
 Death. Provided that
on the date of your death you are still employed by the Corporation and your rights in respect of your Award have not been previously terminated, any then unvested outstanding Award shall immediately vest and be paid to the representative of your
estate promptly after your death. In the case of the Performance Shares, the number of shares will be calculated as if the target number of Performance Shares had in fact been earned. 

Disability. If you become subject to Disability while you are still employed by the Corporation, any then unvested outstanding Award
shares shall vest and shall be paid to you promptly after you become subject to Disability. In the case of the Performance Shares, the number of shares will be calculated as if the target number of Performance Shares had in fact been earned. 

Change of Control. If your employment is terminated by the Corporation or any successor entity thereto without Cause, or if you
terminate your employment for Good Reason, in each case upon or within two years after a Change of Control, prior to a Vesting Date, and provided your rights in respect of the shares of your unvested Award have not previously terminated, the shares
of your unvested Award shall immediately vest and be delivered to you promptly after such termination of employment. In the case of the Performance Shares, the number of shares will be calculated as if the target number of Performance Shares had in
fact been earned. 

 Termination without Cause. If the Corporation terminates your employment without
Cause you will receive payment of the Award on a prorated basis based on the number of full months in the vesting schedule in which you were an active employee (with a partial month worked counted as a full month if you were an active employee for
15 days or more in the month) and such reduced Award will vest immediately upon your termination of employment, calculated in the case of Performance Shares as if the target number of Performance Shares had in fact been earned, as provided in the
Plan. 
 Payout. The transfer restrictions on the applicable number of whole shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse on each Vesting
Date or such other vesting date as determined in this Section 2 and in the terms of the Plan. The payout with respect to vested Performance Shares shall be made on the Performance Shares Vesting Date, in which date the Committee shall determine
the total number of shares earned based upon the actual performance results during the Performance Cycle. 
 3. Termination of Award.

 (a) Except as provided herein, your rights in respect of your outstanding unvested Award shares shall immediately terminate, and no shares
shall be paid in respect thereof, if at any time prior to the respective Vesting Date you terminate your employment. 
 (b) If the
Corporation terminates your employment forCause, your Award shares shall be cancelled and the provisions under the Plan will apply. 
 4. Non-transferability. This Award (or any rights and obligations hereunder) may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or hedged, in any manner (including
through the use of any cash-settled instrument), whether voluntarily or involuntarily and whether by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 

5. Withholding, Consents and Legends. 

(a) You shall be solely responsible for any applicable taxes (including, without limitation, income and excise taxes) and penalties, and any
interest that accrues thereon, incurred in connection with your Award. The Corporation will withhold shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the payment of the taxes that the Corporation determines it is required to withhold under applicable
tax laws with respect to the Award (with such withholding obligation determined based on any applicable minimum statutory withholding rates), in connection with each Vesting Date. The Corporation will use the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on
each Vesting Date in order to determine the number of shares to be withheld. If you wish to remit cash to the Corporation (through payroll deduction or otherwise), in each case in an amount sufficient in the opinion of the Corporation to satisfy
such withholding obligation, you must notify the Corporation in advance and do so in compliance with all applicable laws and pursuant to such rules as the Corporation may establish from time to time, including, but not limited to, the
Corporation’s Insider Trading Policy. 

 (b) Your right to receive shares pursuant to the Award is conditioned on the receipt to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Committee of any required consent that the Committee may reasonably determine to be necessary or advisable. By accepting delivery of the shares, you acknowledge that you are subject to the Corporation’s Insider
Trading Policy.

U.S. Code, to the extent applicable, and this Award Agreement is intended to, and shall be interpreted, administered and construed consistent therewith. The Committee shall have full authority to give effect to the intent of this Section 6.

 7. No Rights to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Award Agreement shall be construed as giving you any right to continued
employment by the Corporation or any of its affiliates or affect any right that the Corporation or any of its affiliates may have to terminate or alter the terms and conditions of your employment. 

8. Successors and Assigns of the Corporation. The terms and conditions of this Award Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to
the benefit of, the Corporation and its successor entities. 
 9. Committee Discretion. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the
Committee shall have full discretion with respect to any actions to be taken or determinations to be made in connection with this Award Agreement, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive. 

10. Amendment. The Committee reserves the right at any time to amend the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement;
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment shall materially adversely affect your rights and obligations under this Award Agreement without your consent (or the consent of your estate, if such consent is obtained after
your death), and provided, further, that the Committee may not postpone the payout of shares to occur at any time after the applicable time provided for in this Award Agreement. Any amendment of this Award Agreement shall be in writing
signed by an authorized member of the Committee or a person or persons designated by the Committee. 
 11. Adjustment; Other Plan

subject to the terms of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section 8.4 related to dividends and voting rights. Cash dividends paid on the Restricted Stock and on all of the Common Stock that may be subsequently acquired
