 Exhibit 10.28b 
 TIFFANY & CO. 
 2005 EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN 

(As Amended by Action of the Stockholders on May 18, 2006 and May 21, 2009) 

Section 1 
 General 
 1.1 Purpose. The 2005 Tiffany & Co. Employee
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) has been established by Tiffany & Co., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) to (i) attract and retain employees; (ii) motivate Participants to achieve the Company’s operating
and strategic goals by means of appropriate incentives; (iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other companies competing with the Company and its Related Companies for employees; and
(iv) further link Participants’ interests with those of the Company’s other stockholders through compensation that is based on the Company’s Common Stock, thereby promoting the long-term financial interests of the Company and its
Related Companies, including the growth in value of the Company’s stockholders’ equity and the enhancement of long-term returns to the Company’s stockholders. 
 1.2 Participation. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall, from time to time, determine and designate from among Eligible Individuals those persons who will be granted
one or more Awards under the Plan. Eligible Individuals who are granted Awards become “Participants” in the Plan. In the discretion of the Committee, a Participant may be granted any Award permitted under the provisions of the Plan, and
more than one Award may be granted to a Participant. Awards need not be identical but shall be subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Plan. Subject to the last two sentences of subsection 2.2 of the Plan, Awards may be granted as
alternatives to or in replacement for awards outstanding under the Plan, or any other plan or arrangement of the Company or a Related Company (including a plan or arrangement of a business or entity, all or a portion of which is acquired by the
Company or a Related Company). 
 1.3 Operation, Administration, and Definitions. The operation and administration of the
Plan, including the Awards made under the Plan, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4 (relating to operation and administration). Initially capitalized terms used in the Plan shall be defined as set forth in the Plan (including in the
definitional provisions of Section 7 of the Plan). 
 1.4 Amendment to Prior Plan. If this Plan becomes effective on
approval by the Company’s stockholders, as provided for in Section 4.1 below, the Company’s 1998 Employee Incentive Plan (the “1998 Plan”) shall be deemed amended so that no further Awards shall be made under the 1998 Plan
on or after the Effective Date of this Plan, although the 1998 Plan shall remain in effect with respect to Awards made under the 1998 Plan prior to the Effective Date of this Plan.

 Section 2 
 Options and SARs 
 2.1 Definitions. 

 

	 	(a)	The grant of an “Option” entitles the Participant to purchase Shares at an Exercise Price established by the Committee. Options granted under this
Section 2 may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options, as determined in the discretion of the Committee. An “Incentive Stock Option” is an Option that is intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to an
“incentive stock option” described in section 422(b) of the Code. A “Non-Qualified Option” is an Option that is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” as that term is described in section 422(b) of the Code.

  

	 	(b)	The grant of a stock appreciation right (an “SAR”) entitles the Participant to receive, in cash or Shares, value equal to all or a portion of the excess of:
(a) Fair Market Value of a specified number of Shares at the time of exercise, over (b) an Exercise Price established by the Committee. 

 2.2 Exercise Price. The per-Share “Exercise Price” of each Option and SAR granted under this Section 2 shall be established by the Committee or shall be determined by a formula
established by the Committee at the time the Option or SAR is granted; except that the Exercise Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the Pricing Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “Pricing
Date” shall be the date on which the Option or SAR is granted unless the Option or SAR is granted on a date on which the principal exchange on which the Shares are then listed or admitted to trading is closed for trading, in which case the
“Pricing Date” shall be the most recent date on which such exchange was open for trading prior to such grant date; except that the Committee may provide that: (i) the Pricing Date is the date on which the recipient is hired or
promoted (or similar event), if the grant of the Option or SAR occurs not more than 90 days after the date of such hiring, promotion or other event; and (ii) if an Option or SAR is granted in tandem with, or in substitution for, an outstanding
Award, the Pricing Date is the date of grant of such outstanding Award. Except as provided in subsection 4.2(c), the Exercise Price of any Option or SAR may not be decreased after the grant of the Award. Neither an Option nor an SAR may be
surrendered as consideration in exchange for a new Award with a lower Exercise Price. 
 2.3
Exercise. Options and SARs shall be exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions and during such periods as may be established by the Committee provided that no Option or SAR shall be exercisable after, and each Option and SAR
shall become void no later than, the tenth
(10th) anniversary date of the date of grant of such
Option or SAR.

 2.4 Payment of Option Exercise Price. The payment of the Exercise Price of an Option
granted under this Section 2 shall be subject to the following: 
  

	 	(a)	The Exercise Price may be paid by ordinary check or such other form of tender as the Committee may specify. 

 

	 	(b)	If permitted by the Committee, the Exercise Price for Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option may be paid in part or in full by tendering Shares (by either
actual delivery of Shares or by attestation, with such Shares valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise). 

  

	 	(c)	The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to pay the Exercise Price upon the exercise of an Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell Shares
acquired upon exercise of the Option (or a sufficient portion of such Shares) and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

 Section 3 
 Other Stock Awards 
 3.1 Definition. A “Stock Award” is a
grant of Shares or of a right to receive Shares (or their cash equivalent or a combination of both). 
 3.2 Restrictions on
Stock Awards. Each Stock Award shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine. These may include continuous service and/or the achievement of Performance Goals. 

Section 4 
 Operation and Administration 
 4.1 Effective Date and Duration.
Subject to approval of the stockholders of the Company at the Company’s 2005 annual meeting, the Plan shall be effective as of May 1, 2005 (the “Effective Date”) and shall remain in effect as long as any Awards under the Plan are
outstanding; provided, however, that, no Award may be granted or otherwise made under the Plan after April 30, 2015. 
 4.2
Shares Subject to Plan. 
  

	 	(a)	(i) Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 4.2, the maximum number of Shares that may be delivered to Participants and their beneficiaries under the
Plan shall be Thirteen Million Five-Hundred Thousand (13,500,000) Shares, provided that such maximum shall be reduced by one and 58 hundredths (1.58) of a Share for each Share that is delivered pursuant to a Stock Award.

 (ii) Any Shares granted under the Plan that are forfeited or fail to vest because of the
failure to meet an Award contingency or condition shall again be available for delivery pursuant to new Awards granted under the Plan. To the extent any Shares covered by an Award are not delivered to a Participant or a Participant’s
beneficiary because the Award is forfeited, fails to vest or is canceled, or the Shares are not delivered because the Award is settled in cash, such Shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of
Shares available for delivery under the Plan. 
 (iii) If the Exercise Price and/or tax withholding obligation for any Option or
any SAR to be settled in Shares granted under the Plan is satisfied by tendering Shares to the Company (by either actual delivery or attestation), the number of Shares issued on such exercise without offset for the number of Shares so tendered shall
be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan; if the Exercise Price and/or any tax withholding obligation for any Option or SAR granted under the Plan is satisfied by the Company
withholding Shares, the full number of Shares for which such Option or SAR was exercised, without reduction for the number of Shares withheld, shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery
under the Plan. 
 (iv) Shares delivered under the Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution of outstanding awards (or
obligations to grant future awards) under the plans or arrangements of another entity shall not reduce the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan, to the extent that such settlement, assumption or substitution occurs as a
result of the Company or a Related Company acquiring another entity (or an interest in another entity). 
  

	 	(b)	Subject to adjustment under paragraph 4.2(c), the following additional maximum limitations are imposed under the Plan: (i) the aggregate maximum number of Shares
that may be issued under Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be One Million (1,000,000) shares; and (ii), unless the Committee determines that an Award to a Named Executive Officer shall not be designed to comply with the
Performance Based Exception, the following limitations shall apply: (A) in any fiscal year of the Company, the aggregate number of shares that may be granted to any Participant pursuant to any and all Awards (including Options, SARS and Stock
Awards) shall not exceed Four Hundred Thousand (400,000); and (B) in any fiscal of the Company, the maximum aggregate cash payout with respect to Other Incentive Awards granted in any fiscal year of the Company pursuant to Section 8 of the
Plan which may be made to any Named Executive Officer shall be Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).

	 	(c)	If the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased, or are changed into or exchanged for cash, property or a different number or kind of shares or securities, or if
cash, property, Shares or other securities are distributed in respect of such outstanding Shares, in either case as a result of one or more mergers, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations, stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock
dividends, dividends (other than regular, quarterly dividends), or other distributions, spin-offs or the like, or if substantially all of the property and assets of the Company are sold, then, unless the terms of the transaction shall provide
otherwise, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and/or type of Shares or securities for which Awards may thereafter be granted under the Plan and for which Awards then outstanding under the Plan may thereafter be exercised. Any such
adjustments in outstanding Awards shall be made without changing the aggregate Exercise Price applicable to the unexercised portions of outstanding Options or SARs. The Committee shall make such adjustments to preserve the benefits or potential
benefits of the Plan and the Awards; such adjustments may include, but shall not be limited to, adjustment of: (i) the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) the number and kind of shares subject to
outstanding Awards; (iii) the Exercise Price of outstanding Options and SARs; (iv) the limits specified in subsections 4.2(a)(i) and 4.2(b) above; and (v) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. No right
to purchase or receive fractional shares shall result from any adjustment in Options, SARs or Stock Awards pursuant to this paragraph 4.2(c). In case of any such adjustment, Shares subject to the Option, SAR or Stock Award shall be rounded up to the
nearest whole Share. 

 4.3 Limit on Distribution. Distribution of Shares or other amounts under the Plan
shall be subject to the following: 
  

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any Shares under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits
under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933) and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity,
and the Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan as the Committee may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any Stock
exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares. In the event that the Committee determines in its discretion that the registration, listing or
qualification of the Shares issuable under the Plan on any securities exchange or under any applicable law or governmental regulation is necessary as a condition to the issuance of such Shares under an Option or Stock Award, such Option or Stock
Award shall not be exercisable or exercised in whole or in part unless such registration, listing and qualification, and any necessary consents or approvals have been unconditionally obtained.

	  	Page 5

	 	(b)	Distribution of Shares under the Plan may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rule of any stock
exchange. 

 4.4 Tax Withholding. Before distribution of Shares under the Plan, the Company may require the
recipient to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding requirements or, in the discretion of the Committee, the Company may withhold from the Shares to be delivered and/or otherwise issued
Shares sufficient to satisfy all or a portion of such tax withholding requirements. Whenever under the Plan payments are to be made in cash, such payments may be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding
requirements. Neither the Company nor any Related Company shall be liable to a Participant or any other person as to any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt or exercise of any Award
hereunder. 
 4.5 Reserved Rights. Subject to the limitations of subsection 4.2 on the number of Shares that may be
delivered under the Plan, the Plan does not limit the right of the Company to use available Shares, including authorized but un-issued shares and treasury shares, as the form of payment for compensation, grants or rights earned or due under any
other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company or a Related Company, including the plans and arrangements of the Company or a Related Company acquiring another entity (or an interest in another entity). 

4.6 Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. An Award may provide the Participant with the right to receive dividends or dividend
equivalent payments with respect to Shares which may be either paid currently or credited to an account for the Participant, and which may be settled in cash or Shares as determined by the Committee. Any such settlements, and any such crediting of
dividends or dividend equivalents or reinvestment in Shares may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall establish, including reinvestment of such credited amounts in Share equivalents. 

4.7 Settlements; Deferred Delivery. Awards may be settled through cash payments, the delivery of Shares, the
granting of replacement Awards, or combinations thereof, all subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine. The Committee may establish provisions for the deferred delivery of Shares upon the exercise of
an Option or SAR or receipt of a Stock Award with the deferral evidenced by use of “Stock Units” equal in number to the number of Shares whose delivery is so deferred. A “Stock Unit” is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount
equivalent to the Fair Market Value of one Share. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company except as otherwise provided by the Committee. Settlement of Stock Units upon expiration of the deferral period shall be made
in Shares or otherwise as determined by the Committee. The amount of Shares, or other settlement medium, to be so distributed may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until a Stock Unit is settled, the number of Shares
represented by a Stock Unit shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph 4.2(c). Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, any deferred delivery of Shares pursuant to an Award shall be settled by the delivery of Shares no later than the
60th day following the date the person to whom such
deferred delivery must be made ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Related Company.

 4.8 Transferability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, any Option and SAR
granted under the Plan, and, until vested, any Stock Award or other Shares-based Award granted under the Plan, shall by its terms be nontransferable by the Participant otherwise than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a
“domestic relations order”, as defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder, and shall be exercisable by, or become vested in, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the
Participant. 
 4.9 Form and Time of Elections. Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to
be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification, or revocation thereof, shall be in writing filed with the secretary of the Company at such times, in such form, and subject to such
restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require. 
 4.10 Award
Agreements with Company; Vesting and Acceleration of Vesting of Awards. At the time of an Award to a participant under the Plan, the Committee may require a Participant to enter into an agreement with the Company (an “Award Agreement”)
in a form specified by the Committee, agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Plan and to such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe, including, but not limited
to, conditions to the vesting or exercisability of an Award, such as continued service to the Company or a Related Company for a specified period of time. The Committee may waive such conditions to and/or accelerate exercisability or vesting of an
Option, SAR or Stock Award, either automatically upon the occurrence of specified events (including in connection with a change of control of the Company) or otherwise in its discretion. 

4.11 Limitation of Implied Rights. 
  

	 	(a)	Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of the Plan or any Award Agreement, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the
Company or any Related Company whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other property which the Company or any Related Company, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A
Participant shall have only a contractual right to the Shares or amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by the assets of the Company or of any Related Company. Nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall constitute a
guarantee that the assets of such companies shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.

	 	(b)	Neither the Plan nor any Award Agreement shall constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any employee the right to be retained
in the employ of the Company or any Related Company, nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan or an Award. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no
Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any right as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions for receipt of such rights. 

4.12 Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which an
officer of the Company acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties. 
 4.13 Action by Company or Related Company. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company or any Related Company shall be by resolution of its board of directors, or by action of one
or more members of such board (including a committee of such board) who are duly authorized to act for such board, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of any Stock exchange) by a duly authorized officer of the
Company or such Related Company. 
 4.14 Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender shall include
any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. 
 4.15 Liability
for Cash Payments. Each Related Company shall be liable for payment of cash due under the Plan with respect to any Participant to the extent that such benefits are attributable to the services rendered for that Related Company by such
Participant. Any disputes relating to liability of a Related Company for cash payments shall be resolved by the Committee. 

4.16 Non-exclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors of the Company nor the submission of
the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of such Board of Directors or a committee of such Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it or they may deem desirable,
including without limitation, the granting of restricted stock, stock options or cash bonuses otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

	 	(b)	Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to determine the extent to which Awards under the Plan will be structured to
