The Procter & Gamble Company, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Ohio (herein called the

 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the
“Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 28, 1992 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (as
successor-in-interest to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, which series is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to €1,000,000,00.00, subject to the provisions described herein under “Further
Issues.” 
 Interest 
 This
Security will bear interest at the rate of 4.875% per year. Interest will accrue from and including May 11, 2007 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for. The Company will make interest
payments on May 11 of each year, with the first interest payment being made on May 11, 2008. The Company will make interest payments to the person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business ten (10) Business
Days before the next interest payment date. 
 If the interest payment date is not a Business Day at the relevant place of payment, payment
of interest will be made on the next day that is a Business Day at such place of payment. “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or
obligated by law to close in The City of New York and, for any place of payment outside The City of New York, in such place of payment, and on which the TARGET system is open for settlement of payment in euros. 

Where interest is to be calculated in respect of a period which is equal to or shorter than the relevant period for which interest is to be
calculated (an “Interest Period”), it will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant period, from and including the date from which interest begins to accrue, but excluding, the date on which it falls due,
divided by the number of days in the Interest Period in which the relevant period falls (including the first such day but excluding the last). 

Additional Amounts 
 All payments of
principal and interest in respect of this Security will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatsoever nature imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States (collectively, “Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. 

  
 5 

 In the event such withholding or deduction is required by law, subject to the limitations
described below, the Company will pay to the holder or beneficial owner of this Security that is not a United Stales holder (as defined below) such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that every net
payment by the Company or any paying agent of principal of or interest on this Security (including upon redemption), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for in such Security to be
then due and payable before deduction or withholding for or on account of such Taxes. 
 A “United States Holder” is defined as
any beneficial owner of this Security that for United States federal income tax purposes is: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or other entity classified as a corporation for these purposes)
created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of the source of that income; or
(iv) a trust, if (1) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code) has the authority
to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions, or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a “United States person.” 

However, the Company’s obligation to pay Additional Amount shall not apply to: 

 

	 	(1)	Any taxes which would not have been so imposed but for: 

  

	 	a.	the existence of any present or former connection between such holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over,
such holder or beneficial owner, if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder or beneficial
owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner or person having such a power) being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in a
trade or business in the United States or being or having been present in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States, 

 

	 	b.	the failure of such holder or beneficial owner to comply with any requirement under United States tax laws and regulations to establish entitlement to a partial or complete exemption from such Taxes (including, but not
limited to, the requirement to provide Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, Forms W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), or 

  

	 	c.	such holder’s or beneficial owner’s present or former status as a personal holding company or a foreign personal holding company with respect to the United States, as a controlled foreign corporation with
respect to the United States, as a passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States, as a foreign tax exempt organization with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States
federal income tax; 

  
 6 

	 	(2)	any Taxes imposed by reason of the holder or beneficial owner: 

  

	 	a.	owning or having owned, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s stock, 

 

	 	b.	being a bank receiving interest described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code or 

  

	 	c.	being a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States that is related to the Company by stock ownership; 

  

	 	(3)	any Taxes which would not have been so imposed but for the presentation by the holder or beneficial owner of such Security for payment on a date more than 10 days after the date on which such payment became due and
payable or the date on which payment of this Security is duly provided for and notice is given to holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to such additional amounts on presenting
such Security on any date during such 10-day period; 

  

	 	(4)	any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property, wealth, interest equalization or similar Taxes; 

  

	 	(5)	any Taxes which are payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal of or interest on such Security; 

  

	 	(6)	any Taxes which are payable by a holder that is not the beneficial owner of this Security, or a portion of this Security, or that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other similar entity, but only
to the extent that a beneficial owner, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or member of such partnership, limited liability company or similar entity would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had such
beneficial owner, settlor, beneficiary or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment; 

  

	 	(7)	any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any Security, if such payment can be made without such withholding by
any other paying agent; 

  

	 	(8)	any Taxes required to be withheld or deducted where such withholding or deduction is imposed pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with,
or introduced in order to conform to, such European Council Directive; 

  
 7 

	 	(9)	any Taxes that would not have been imposed in respect of this Security or coupons with respect thereto if such Security or coupon had been presented to another paying agent in a Member State of the European Union; or

  

	 	(10)	any combination of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) and (9). 

 For purposes of
this section, the holding of or the receipt of any payment with respect to this Security will not constitute a connection (i) between the holder or beneficial owner and the United States or (ii) between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary,
member or shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over, such holder or beneficial owner if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity and
the United States. 
 Any reference in this Security or the Indenture to principal or interest shall be deemed to refer also to Additional
Amounts which may be payable under this section. 
 The Company will pay all stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by the
United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein with respect to the issuance of this Security. 
 Except as
specifically provided in this Security, the Company will not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or an political subdivision or taxing authority of or in
the United States. 
 In addition, the Company undertakes that, to the extent permitted by law, the Company will maintain a paying agent in
a Member State of the European Union (if any) that will not require withholding or deduction of tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order
to conform to, such European Council Directive. 
 Tax Redemption 

Except as provided below, this Security may not be redeemed prior to maturity. Unless previously redeemed or repurchase and canceled, this
Security will be payable at par, including Additional Amounts, if any, on May 11, 2027 or such earlier date on which this Security shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Security. However, if the maturity
date of this Security is not a Business Day, this Security will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from May 11, 2027 to such payment date. 

This Security may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of this Security to be redeemed, together with interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, which notice shall be irrevocable, if 

  
 8 

	 	(1)	the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws, regulations or rulings of the United States or any political subdivision or any taxing authority
of or in the United States affecting taxation, or any change in or amendment to an official application, interpretation, administration or enforcement of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective
on or after May 3, 2007, or 

  

	 	(2)	any action shall have been taken by a taxing authority, or any action has been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, in the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United
States, including any of those actions specified in (1) above, whether or not such action was taken or brought with respect to the Company, or any change, clarification, amendment, application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or
rulings shall be officially proposed, in any such case on or after May 3, 2007, which results in a substantial likelihood that the Company will be required to pay Additional Amounts on the next Interest Payment Date. 

However, no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be, in the
case of a redemption for the reasons specified in (1) above, or there would be a substantial likelihood that the Company would be, in the case of a redemption for the reasons specified in (2) above, obligated to pay such Additional Amounts
if a payment in respect of this Security were then due. 
 Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this section,

 Book Entry Security 

This Security is a Book-Entry Security registered in the name of the Depository. This Book-Entry Security is exchangeable for Securities
registered in the name of a period other than the Depository only in the limited circumstances hereinafter described. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Securities in certificated form, this Book-Entry Security may
not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository. 

The Securities represented by this Book-Entry Security are exchangeable for definitive Securities in certificated form of like tenor as such
Securities in denomination of €50,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof only if (i) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge its responsibilities
properly and the Trustee or the Company are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days; (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture; or (iii) the Company, at its option, elects to terminate the
book-entry system through the Depository. Any Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence is exchangeable for certificated Securities issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depository shall
direct.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of definitive Securities in certificated form is registrable in the Security Register, upon
surrender of the definitive Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on the definitive Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. Subject to the foregoing, this Book-Entry Security is not exchangeable except for a Book-Entry Security or
Book-Entry Securities of this issue for the same principal amount to be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee. 
 Notices 

All notices to the holders of an interest in this Security will be given by publication at least once in a newspaper in the English language of
general circulation in London (which is expected to be the Financial Times) and, so long as this Security is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of the Irish Stock Exchange so require, in a newspaper of general circulation in
Ireland (which is expected to be the Irish Times) or, if publication in London or Ireland is not practicable, publication may be made in another principal city in Europe in a newspaper of general circulation. Such notices will be deemed to
have been given on the date of such publication, or if published on different dates, on the first date on which publication is made in any publication in which it is required. Couponholders will be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the
contents of any notices given to the holders of this Security in accordance with this paragraph. 
 The Trustee will mail notices by first
class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder’s last known address as it appears in the security register that the Trustee maintains. The Trustee will only mail these notices to the registered holder of this Security unless the Company
reissues this Security in fully certificated form. 
 Further Issues 

The Company may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered holders of the Securities, create and issue further notes
ranking equally with the Securities in all respects (on in all respects other than the payment of interest accruing prior the issue date of such further notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further
notes). Such further notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities.

Security for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
